COMPLETE STUDY QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ what are pharmacological actions of angiotensin II receptor
blockers (ARBs)? Answer: blocks the receptors on blood vessels that
angiotensin II binds to
excretion of Na+ and water
prevent angiotensin II type I receptors from binding with
angiotensin II
◉ what is the MOA of ARBs? Answer: angiotensin II receptor
blockers block angiotensin II receptors
they are angiotensin II receptor antagonists; they block the action of
angiotensin II
blocking the angiotensin II receptors
,angiotensin II is unable to bind to its receptors
◉ what are therapeutic uses of ARBs? Answer: hypertension - it has
no effect on the HR
◉ what are complications of ARBs? Answer: hypotension
hyperkalemia
angioedema
◉ you're teaching a patient about how angiotensin II receptor
blockers (ARBs) work. which statement below BEST describes how
these medications work on the body? Answer: they prevent
angiotensin II type I receptors from binding with angiotensin II
◉ what are direct renin inhibitors? Answer: aliskiren
◉ what are the pharmacological actions of direct renin inhibitors?
Answer: binds with renin to inhibit the production of angiotensin I
◉ what are complications of direct renin inhibitors? Answer:
angioedema
, hyperkalemia
hypotension
◉ what are interactions of direct renin inhibitors? Answer: high-fat
foods reduce absorption
◉ a patient is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of
hypertension. the nurse understands which medication works by
binding with renin to inhibit the production of angiotensin I?
Answer: aliskiren (tekturna)
◉ what are the two types of calcium channel blockers? Answer:
dihydropyridines
non-dihydropyridines
◉ what do dihydropyridines do? Answer: act on blood vessels
causes vasodilation
