1. triglycerides/fatty acids are derived from dietary fat
2. cholesterol is derived from animal fat in diet
3. HDL "good cholesterol" function carries cholesterol to liver to
be processed
4. LDL "bad cholesterol" function carries cholesterol to cells
5. optimal HDL level 40-60
6. optimal LDL level <100
7. optimal total cholesterol level <200
8. optimal triglycerides level <150
9. drug of choice for high cholesterol and statins
triglycerides
10. side effects of statins fatigue, heartburn, muscle
soreness
11. other pharm option for high cholesterol cholestyramine (questran)
12. what type of pt is prescribed cholestyra- liver failure, gallbladder pts
mine
13. how is cholestyramine synthesized in the in the GI tract as opposed to
body the liver
14. what is done before prescribing statins liver function tests
15. causes of right sided heart failure (RSHF) hypertension
16. symptoms of RSHF crackles, shortness of breath,
fluid in lungs
17. RSHF leads to left sided heart failure

18. examples of loop diuretics Furosemide
Bumetanide
19. example of thiazides hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)
20. example of potassium sparing diuretic spironolactone
21. example of osmotic agents mannitol
22. example of carbonic anhydrase acetazolamide (diamox)
23. how do diuretics work by blocking sodium reabsorp-
tion in nephron, causing it to
be released into urine (water
follows salt = more urine)
24. all diuretics cause hypotension, hypokalemia,
and dehydration
25. furosemide and bumetanide side effect ototoxicity
26. which is stronger? furosemide or bumetanide is stronger, used
bumetanide? and why would the stronger in emergencies
one be used?
27. why are thiazides prescribed first less effective than loop diuret-
ics
28. thiazide side effects hypercalcemia, electrolyte
imbalances
29. what would pt education be for thiazides increase K+ in diet
30. what must be monitored for loop diuretics cardiac function
and thiazides
31. what type of pt would be prescribed low k+, high blood pressure
spironolactone
32. what should spironolactone pts avoid
