Nitroprusside purpose - Answer- decreases preload and afterload by vasodilation (mainly afterload) Dobutamine mechanism of action - Answer- contractility Dopamine at a low-end dose "renal dose" - Answer- 0.5-4mcg/kg/min increases renal and mesentric perfusion Dopamine at a mid-range dose - Answer- 4-10mcg/kg/min increases contractility and heart rate Dopamine at a high-range dose - Answer- greater than 10mcg/kg/min vasoconstriction and increases BP Dopamine and Levophed inf...

In assessing a patient before administration of a cardiac glycoside, the nurse knows that what condition can predispose a patient to digitalis toxicity? A. Hypokalemia B. Hyperkalemia C. Hypocalcemia D. Hypernatremia correct answer: A. Hypokalemia; control ventricular response to atrial fibrillation and a derived from foxglove. Digoxin is the only available cardiac glycoside---positive inotropic---inhibits sodium potassium pump (adenosine tripphophatase) Sodium and calcium rise. Cholinergic...

The client is admitted to the telemetry unit diagnosed with acute exacerbation of congestive heart failure (CHF). Which signs/symptoms would the nurse expect to find when assessing this client? 1. Apical pulse rate of 110 and 4+ pitting edema of feet. 2. Thick white sputum and crackles that clear with cough. 3. The client sleeping with no pillow and eupnea. 4. Radial pulse rate of 90 and capillary refill time <3 seconds. 1 The nurse is developing a nursing care plan for a client diagno...

What drug class is digoxin? cardiac glycoside Digoxin mechanism of action 1. Inhibits sodium/potassium pump, thereby increasing intracellular calcium levels 2. Positive inotropic effect, increases cardiac output 3. Decreases chronotropy and dromotropy; slows AV conduction Indications for digoxin systolic heart failure, atrial fibrillation Adverse effects of digoxin Dysrhythmias, cardiotoxicity, hypotension, bradycardia, GI effects (nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain), CNS effects includin...
