HESI exit Exam
ACE Inhibitors "PRIL" Captopril, Enalapril, Afosiopril
Antihypertensive. Blocks ACE in lungs from
converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II
(powerful vasoconstrictor). Decreases BP,
Decreased Aldosterone secretions, Sodium
and fluid loss.
Check BP before giving (hypotension)
*Orthostatic Hypotension
Common side effects: Cough (not an
indication to discontinue drug.
Antihypertensives cant be stopped abruptly.
, HESI exit Exam
acyclovir sodium IV TX for herpes simplex virus

prevents precipitation of the drug in the renal
tubules, which could lead to obstructive
problems that impair kidney function.
