PMHNP Certification Exam Prep -
Georgette & ANA
Acetylcholine - ANS-associated w/ cognitive function
Alzheimer's NT - ANS-because of reduced Acetylcholine and extra Glutamate
reasons enlarged ventricles and hippocampal atrophy
Atypical antipsychotics - ANS-block dopamine receptors in the mesolimbic pathway, while
increasing dopamine pastime in the nigrostriatal pathway
also block serotonin receptors
Bipolar d/o - ANS-caused by dysfxn of serotonin and dopamine
BUN/Creatinine ratio - ANS-Normal 10:1 to 20:1
Citalopram (Celexa) - ANS-increased danger of QT prolongation
Cortical Dementia - ANS-intense memory deficits, impaired language abilities (eg speech
and comprehension)
ex: Alzheimer's dz, Frontotemporal dementia
Dopamine - ANS-performs a position in motivation and praise
expanded tiers cause mania or hypomania
Doxycycline - ANS-may additionally growth serum concentrations of carbamazepine
(Tegretol), main to toxicity
Endorphins - ANS-are worried in ache modulation
EPS signs and symptoms - ANS-resulting from dxsfx of dopamine and acetylcholine
Frontotemporal Dementia (Pick's dz) - ANS-outstanding modifications in conduct and
language, accompanied by using frontotemporal lobe atrophy
GABA (Gamm-Aminobutyric Acid) - ANS-the most plentiful inhibitory neurotransmitter in the
mind
Glutamate - ANS-is an excitatory NT that could have an effect on mood and conduct
