Additional Nursing Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term

captopril (Capoten)

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • ACE Inhibitor
  • Reduces SVR (vasodilation) Decreases afterload with an increase in CO Decreases risk of HF post MI
  • Monitor s/s HF (I&O, DWT, LS, EDEMA), BP,SE: cough, Hypokalemia, taste disturbance, renal insufficiency, hypotension Monitor labs: K, BUN, Creatinine
  • Expect:      Decrease in s/s HF and BP      Decrease in ventricular remodeling by inhibiting ventricular hypertrophy
Term

aspirin

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • Antiplatelet Agent
  • Inhibits platelet aggregation
  • Monitor s/s bleeding (color of stools, nose bleeds, gums bleeding, bruising)
  • Prevention of stroke, MI, or vascular related death in clts at risk
    Patency of coronary stent
Term

metoprolol (Lopressor)

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes

Definition
  • Beta Blockers (Ends in olol)
  • Prophylaxis of angina
    Decrease myocardial contractility, HR, SVR, & BP, decrease myocardial O2 demand
  • Can exacerbate HF monitor for s/s of HF,
    Monitor VS, ECG, glucose (can mask signs of hypoglycemia in diabetics), BUN, K
  • Decrease in BP, angina, HR. Increase in activity tolerance
Term

atenolol (Tenormin)

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • Beta Blockers (Ends in olol)
  • Prophylaxis of angina
    Decrease myocardial contractility, HR, SVR, & BP, decrease myocardial O2 demand
  • Can exacerbate HF monitor for s/s of HF,
    Monitor VS, ECG, glucose (can mask signs of hypoglycemia in diabetics), BUN, K
  • Decrease in BP, angina, HR. Increase in activity tolerance
Term

furosemide (Lasix)

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • Loop Diuretics
  • Inhibits NaCl reabsorption in the loop of Henle
  • Monitor Lab for F & E imbalances (K, Na, Cl, Mg decreases) VS, Ototoxicity, Hyperglycemia, Orthostatic hypotension
  • Decreased edema (fluid overload)
    Increased UOP

    Decreased BP

    Lungs clear
Term

morphine sulfate

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • Opiate Analgesic
  • Decreases cardiac workload, lowers O2 consumption, contractility, lowering BP & HR, decrease in preload & afterload via vasodilation
    Reduces anxiety
  • Assess level of sedation, VS, pain characteristics
  • Decrease in severity of pain
Term

digoxin (Lanoxin)

Class?

Action? 

Nursing implication?

Expected outcomes?

Definition
  • Treatment for HF and A-Fib
  • Positive inotropic drug: increased force of contraction
  • Increased renal perfusion with diuretic effect, increase CO
  • Negative chronotropic effect: decreased heart rate and slows conduction through AV node
  • Decrease in severity of CHF, decrease in renin release
  • Increases intracellular calcium during depolarization
  • Adverse: Headache, weakness, drowiness, visual disturbances, arrhythmias, GI upset
  • Monitor levels (0.5-2 ng/mL)
Term
