26
Cardiac Glycosides
Used in the treatment of patients with cardiac failure or ineffective pumping mechanism of the hear muscle.
27
side effects of cardiac glyxosides
Digoxin toxicity GI effects CNS effects blurred vision, yellow-green or white halos, diplopia
28
antianginial medications
The use of organic nitrates, beta adrenergic-blocking agents, and calcium channel blockers to treat pain related to imbalances between myocardial oxygen supply and demand. Side effects: Headache Orthostatic hypotension Reflex tachycardia
29
Antidysrhythmic Agents
Complex agents with multiple mechanisms of action. Classified according to their effects on the electrical conduction system of the heart Class I, II, III, IV Side effects/adverse effects - Toxicity
30
antacids
Neutralize gastric acid and inactive pepsin | Used for peptic ulcer disease
31
GERD
``` Aluminum hydroxide (Amphojel) - May cause constipation, hypophosphatemia ``` Milk of Magnesia - May cause diarrhea, renal impairment, hypermagnesemia Sodium bicarbonate - May cause constimation
32
Antacids pt. education
- Do not give to patients with GI perforation or obstruction - Patients with renal impairment should only use aluminum-based preparations - Other meds should be taken 1 hour before or after antacids - May require repeated doses up to 7 times a day - 1 hour and 3 hour after meals and at bedtime
33
proton pump inhibitors
Prevent or block selected receptors within the stomach | Used for Gastric and peptic ulcers
34
proton pump inhibitors
- Low incidence of diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting - Can increase the risk for fractures, pneumonia, and acid rebound - Do not crush, chew, or break tablets - Notify provider for signs of GI bleeding - Teach patient to take medication as scheduled
35
histamine 2 receptor antagonists
Ranitidine (Zantac) Cimetidine (Tagamet) - Increases risk of infection, use with caution with COPD Nizatidine (Axid) Famotidine (Pepcid)
