Pharmacology Drug Alphabet Cox College Final Exam 2023 Questions with all the correct answersWhat does A stand for? Ans- Ace Inhibitors
What does ACE stand for? Ans- angiotensin-converting enzyme
What is the angiotensin-converting enzyme responsible for? Ans- Converts angiotensin I to angiotension II
What does angiotensin II do? Ans- Potent vasoconstrictor that stimulates the secretion
of aldosterone.
What does this conversion to angiotensin II and the secretion of aldosterone cause? Ans- Raises blood pressure
increases retention of water and sodium
increases excretion of potassium
How do ACE inhibitors work? Ans- ACE inhibitors block angiotensin-converting enzyme from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor). This in turn lowers blood pressure
What are the nursing responsibilities for administering ace inhibitors? Ans- Monitoring blood pressure (sys at least 100)
Monitoring potassium (risk of hyperkalemia level should be 3.5-5) Monitor for a persistent cough-common side effect
Monitor for angioedema-rare side effect
Are ACE inhibitors safe in pregnancy? Ans- No
What is an example of an ACE inhibitor and what is the common ending for these drugs? Ans- Lisinopril, "pril"
What does B stand for? Ans- Beta Adrenergic Blockers
What are the two types of beta adrenergic blockers? Ans- Selective and Nonselective
How do selective beta adrenergic blockers work? Ans- Can selectively block Beta-1 receptors- found predominantly in the heart How do nonselective beta adrenergic blockers work? Ans- By blocking both beta-1 and
beta-2 receptors. Beta-2 receptors are found predominantly in the lungs
What are the effects of the cardioselective beta 1 blockades? Ans- Decreases heart rate
Decreases blood pressure Slows/decreases the conduction of the AV node
Decreases myocardial oxygen demand Decreases myocardial contractility
What are the effects of the blockade of beta 2 receptors (nonselective)? Ans- Bronchoconstriction
What patients should avoid taking Nonselective beta blockers? Ans- Patients with asthma or other respiratory complications
What are beta adrenergic blockers used to treat? Ans- Angina
Hypertension Dysrhythmias
Myocardial infarction stage fright
What are the nursing responsibilities for giving beta adrenergic blockers? Ans- Heart rate (apical pulse should be over 60 prior to administration) Don't stop taking abruptly
Monitor Blood pressure
What is an example of a beta adrenergic blocker and what is the common ending for beta blockers? Ans- Propranolol, "lol"
What does C stand for? Ans- Calcium Channel Blockers
How do calcium channel blockers work? Ans- they prevent calcium from entering the cells
What effects do calcium channel blockers cause? Ans- Lowers heart rate and contractility
Smooth muscle relaxation mostly on blood vessels lowering blood pressure
What drug has similar effects to calcium channel blockers? Ans- Beta adrenergic blockers both work on the heart (Decrease)
What are calcium channel blockers used to treat? Ans- Hypertension
Angina
Cardiac dysrhythmias
Etc.
