Ch. 42 Antihypertensives Exam question and
answers latest update 2026 RATED A+
Which antihypertensive drug may also be used to treat glaucoma? - CORRECT ANSWERS
Bexatolol
- indicated for both the management of hypertension and glaucoma
Losartan is an - CORRECT ANSWERS Angiotensin Receptor Blocker
Captopril is an - CORRECT ANSWERS Angiotensin-converting enzyme
Verapamil is a - CORRECT ANSWERS calcium channel blocker
Which angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor is used to treat hypertension and diabetic
nephropathy? - CORRECT ANSWERS Captopril
Which beta blocker is non selective? - CORRECT ANSWERS Carvedilol
- inhibits beta1 and 2 receptors
Which statement by the nurse explains the mechanism of action for amlodipine? - CORRECT ANSWERS
"This drug inhibits the calcium channel in the vascular smooth muscle."
Which description is accurate regarding the action of angiotensinconverting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs)? -
CORRECT ANSWERS inhibit formation of Angiotensin II and block the release of aldosterone
, Which antihypertensive helps to improve lipid abnormalities while treating high blood pressure? -
CORRECT ANSWERS Prazosin
How often would a patient be instructed to apply a transdermal clonidine patch? - CORRECT ANSWERS
Every week
Which angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor should be taken on an empty stomach to ensure
effective drug action? - CORRECT ANSWERS Moexipril
Which mechanism of action describes how minoxidil lowers blood pressure? - CORRECT ANSWERS
By relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels
Regulators of blood pressure - CORRECT ANSWERS -Kidneys
-Catecholamines
-Baroreceptors in aorta and carotid sinus
-Vasomotor center in medulla oblongota
- hormones
What hormones regulate blood pressure? - CORRECT ANSWERS - antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
posterior pituitary gland (retain fluid)
- atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)
- brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)
Hormone released by kidneys - CORRECT ANSWERS Renin- angiotensin system
- goes to the liver and leads to increase angiotensin 1, then taken to the lung converted into angio 11 by
ACE, and now a vasoconstrictor;
leads to peripheral vasoconstriction and stimulates release the ALDO > stimulate sodium retention
(increase sodium retention and water and chloride) leading to increase BP
