PUD
Gram negative bacterium that is found in 75% of patients with gastric ulcers
What is H-Pylori
A, D, E, and K are this kind of vitamins
What are fat soluble
This is the most commonly given loop diuretic
What is lasix
Thiazide diuretic prototype
What is hydrochlorothiazide
Combination of medications given for immediate and long-term treatment of edema
What are lasix and spironolactone
Many commonly used antacids contain this metal, making long-term use to be against recommendations
What is aluminum
All the B vitamins and this other vitamin are water soluble
What is Vitamin C
This class of diuretics can rapidly cause potassium depletion and has the potential to cause severe dehydration
What are loop diuretics
Potassium sparing diuretic prototype
What is spironolactone
Reason that vitamin K is given to newborns
What is-they are born with low levels and vitamin K aids in clotting. SO, a baby who had a traumatic birth can have bleeding (possibly into the brain), due to poor ability to clot. Giving Vitamin K at birth can prevent that
These medications should be taken 1 hour and 3 hours after meals and at bedtime
What are antacids
Because fat soluble vitamins have this property, it takes longer for a person to be deficient in them
What is stored in the body
This class of diuretics, which works much more slowly than the loop diuretics, is less likely to deplete potassium and is commonly given for long-term fluid balance maintenance
What are Potassium sparing
Symptoms of a deficiency in this fat soluble vitamin include mood swings, depression, fatigue and joint pain
What is Vitamin D
Best timing for oral administration of Proton Pump Inhibitors, such as Omeprazole
What is in the morning before breakfast
The exogenous form of the body's naturally occurring prostaglandin E is found in this medication, which is also used to induce labor and stop post-partum bleeding
What is Misoprostol (Cytotec)
Medication given for iron toxicity or overdose
What is Deferoxamine
Long-term use, slightly weaker functioning diuretic, commonly given in combination with blood pressure and cardiac medications
What is hydrochlorothiazide
This vitamin has been found to prevent neurological (especially spinal) defects in babies, when maintained in appropriate levels in pregnancy
What is folic acid
Decreased function of this organ system is a contraindication to administration of aluminum containing antacids
What is the renal system
These medications interrupt the stomach's natural function of prostaglandin-E, thereby interrupting its natural mucosal barrier
What are NSAIDs
When diagnosed with this illness, patient's must have lifelong injections of Vitamin B12 in order to survive
What is Pernicious Anemia
Diuretic most likely given to patient with symptoms of ascites and fluid in the lungs
What is lasix
Treatment for H-Pylori requires the use of combination drug therapy, including these three types of medications
What are antibiotics (usually 2), an acid reducer, and Bismuth Subsalicylate (or Sucralfate)
These two medications treat PUD by coating the stomach lining, thereby preventing the stomach's own pepsin and acid from breaking it down
What are sucralfate and Bismuth subsalicylate
