32. Spironolactone adverse: Hyperkalemia, endocrine effects gynemastia, mentrual irruglarities, impo-
tence, hirtuism)

after meals, menstrual irregularities

35. Cardinal glycosides: Digoxin/digitalis
36. Digoxin/digitalis uses: HF, increase contraction & cardiac dysrythmias
37. Digoxin/digitalis adverse: Dysrythmias, hypokalemia, digoxin toxicity
38. Digoxin/digitalis nursing considerations: Narrow therapeutic index, maintenance levels of dig,
eliminated in kidneys so watch kidney function

45. Amiodarone adverse: Hypotension, Brady dysrythmias, lung damage/infection, HF, thyroid toxicity, liver
toxicity
46. Amiodarone nursing considerations: EKG, assess baseline thyroid, LFTs, ophthalmic effects,
vision exams, no pregnancy pro breastfeeding, photosensitivity, CNS disturbances

52. Nitroglycerin adverse: Headaches, orthostatic hypotension, reflex tachycardia
53. Nitroglycerin indications: Perioperative control of blood pressure, production of controlled hypoten-
sion during surgery, treatment of HF w acute MI
