Assignments, Chapter 43, Drugs Affecting Blood Pressure

1. Using a table format, identify the three normal controls of
   blood pressure and how angiotensin-converting enzyme
   (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs),
   calcium channel blockers, and vasodilators affect these
   controls.
2. There are several classifications of antihypertensive 3
   medications used for control of hypertension. Some
   classifications are more commonly used in specific
   populations. What are the common concerns with the use of
   specific classifications of antihypertensives across the
   lifespan?
3. Each person takes one class of medications to control blood 2
   pressure: angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors,
   angiotensin II-receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel
   blockers, and vasodilators. The group takes part in a panel
   discussion describing the therapeutic actions, indications,
   pharmacokinetics, contraindications, the most common
   adverse reactions, and the important drug-drug interactions
   for each medication group.

   prototype drugs captopril, losartan, diltiazem, and
   nitroprusside. After the chart is completed, discuss how drugs
   within each class compare to each other and with drugs in
   other classifications. Describe the similarities and differences

   1, Describe the pathophysiology of heart failure. What are the Pp
   Clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure?
2. Explain how the compensatory mechanisms for heart 2
   failure work to maintain cardiac function. What occurs if
   these mechanisms begin to fail?
3. List three essential nursing measures required to be PO
   implemented when using digoxin in pediatric patients.
4. What nursing measures should be implemented when
   working with older adults using cardiac glycosides? What are
   the signs and symptoms of digoxin toxicity and why are older
   adults at a higher risk?
5. Construct a table comparing the cardiac glycosides, the
   phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and the digoxin antidotes. For
   each drug group, describe the therapeutic actions, indications,
   pharmacokinetics, contraindications, the most common
   adverse reactions, and the important drug—drug interactions
   for each group.
