Study Notes
Glucosamine
- Potential benefit includes support for joint health and reduction of osteoarthritis symptoms.
- Potential risk is gastrointestinal upset and allergic reactions in some individuals.
Melatonin Secretion
- Stimulated by darkness and decreased light exposure, promoting sleepiness.
ACE Inhibitors and ARBs
- Can be prescribed together for treating hypertension and heart failure.
- Common adverse effects of ACE inhibitors include cough and hyperkalemia.
- Should be avoided in pregnant women and those who are breastfeeding.
- ARBs may be taken with or without meals.
Drug Interactions and Patient Education
- Grapefruit should be avoided with certain medications, including some cholesterol-lowering drugs.
- Importance of avoiding verapamil with beta-blockers to prevent excessive bradycardia.
- Key adverse effect to mention for patients taking captopril is the risk of hypotension.
Older Clients and Antihypertensive Medications
- Vigilance is necessary after administering antihypertensives due to increased risk of falls and dehydration in older clients.
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) can block the effects of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels.
Client Assessment and Teaching
- Important to ask about any history of renal impairment when starting ARBs in a 45-year-old client.
- Aldosterone action in ACE inhibitors results in increased sodium retention, possibly leading to fluid retention.
Statins and Dyslipidemia
- Atorvastatin education emphasizes monitoring for muscle pain or weakness as a significant adverse effect.
- Statins are the most commonly used drug class for treating dyslipidemia, targeting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
Pain Management and Opioids
- Monitor patients receiving morphine for potential respiratory depression and sedation.
- Risk associated with ibuprofen includes gastrointestinal bleeding, especially with prolonged use.
Aspirin and Childhood Illness
- Aspirin should be avoided in children with chickenpox due to the risk of Reye syndrome.
- Aspirin lowers fever and reduces pain by inhibiting prostaglandin production.
Nutritional Deficiencies
- Fatigue, malnutrition, and low hemoglobin can indicate deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Vascular and Cardiac Considerations
- Caution against administering vasodilators without considering potential drug interactions.
- Calcium channel blockers may be safely used during pregnancy, under medical supervision.
Beta Blockers
- Metoprolol should be avoided in patients with asthma or significant bradycardia.
Liver Effects and Toxicity
- Common contraindication of fenofibrate includes severe liver disease.
- Three common side effects of opioids are constipation, drowsiness, and nausea.
Naloxone and Acute Pain Management
- Naloxone (Narcan) is utilized for opioid overdose reversal.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are typically used for acute pain management, including kidney stones.
Age Considerations and Pharmacology
- Some medications should not be given to older adults due to heightened risk of toxicity.
- Medications acting in the hypothalamus affect temperature regulation, causing sweating and vasodilation.
Acetaminophen Guidelines
- Maximum recommended dosage for acetaminophen is 4 grams daily to avoid hepatotoxicity.
- Acetaminophen is commonly used as an analgesic for children.
Anti-inflammatory Treatments
- Certain drugs, such as NSAIDs, are effective for inflammatory conditions like myocardial infarction (MI).
Pain Management Strategies
- Medications that relieve specific types of pain may be employed when opioids are inadequate.
- Familiarity with medication types and their appropriate uses is essential for effective pain management.
Monitoring and Safety
- Monitor blood pressure, renal function, and electrolytes in patients on ACE inhibitors to prevent complications.
