Mechanism of Action
The mechanism of action for diuretics
What is volume depletion, sodium excretion, vasodilation of peripheral arterioles?
The sympathetic nervous system controls.
What is the fight or flight response and increases the HR, BP, contractibility
Blocks stimulation of aldosterone at receptor sites, preventing sodium reabsorption.
What is a aldosterone receptor antagonist?
These receptors are in charge of vasoconstriction (increase BP).
This drug class masks hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.
What is beta blockers?
Mechanism of action for beta blocking agents.
What is it inhibits cardiac response to sympathetic nerve stimulation; inhibit renin release from kidneys?
A molecule inside or on the surface of a cell that binds to a specific substance and causes a specific effect.
What is a receptor?
This drug class works by inhibiting movement of calcium ions across cell membranes.
What are calcium channel blockers?
These receptors are in charge of vasodilation (decrease BP).
Swelling of the face, eyes, lips, and tongue can be an adverse effect from ACE inhibitors. This adverse effect is called.
What is angioedema?
Mechanism of action for ACE inhibitors.
What is it inhibits angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), disrupting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II; reduces blood pressure; preserves cardiac output; and increases renal blood flow?
Stimulates a normal response.
Blocks stimulation of aldosterone at receptor sites, preventing sodium reabsorption.
What is aldosterone receptor antagonist.
Beta 1 receptors are located in.
What is the heart and the JG cells of the kidneys?
This action stimulates the RAAS.
What is a drop in blood pressure?
The mechanism of action for angiotensin II blockers.
What is it binds to angiotensin II receptor sites and block the vasoconstrictor from binding to receptor sites in target organs?
blocks a normal response.
What is an antagonist?
In about 1/3 of patients who take ACE inhibitors for hypertension report which symptom after beginning therapy.
Beta 2 receptors are located in.
What are the lungs, eyes, and arteries and skeletal muscles?
The nurse should hold a beta blocking agent if the systolic BP is ______________ and the HR is less than ___________________.
What are 100 systolic and 60 bpm?
What is it blocks the first step in the RAAS cascade, preventing release of aldosterone?
A system that includes a series of reactions that occur in the body to increase blood pressure.
What is the central-acting alpha 2 agonists?
A non-selective beta blocker should not be given to people with.
What are lung issues (COPD, asthma)?
This electrolyte can be elevated when taking an angiotensin II blocker.
What is potassium - hyperkalemia?
