NSG 318 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS
What is the action of Digoxin ✅inhibits sodium-potassium ATPase, promoting
increased force of cardiac contraction, cardiac out, and tissue perfusion; decreases
ventricular rate

What effects on the heart muscle does Digoxin influence? ✅increases myocardial
contractility; decreases HR; decreases conduction and increases cardiac output

Digoxin therapeutic effects/ uses ✅treats heart failure and atrial fibrillation

Therapeutic serum level for Digoxin ✅0.5-1 ng/mL

Important nursing implication the nurse should consider before administering Digoxin?
✅DO NOT administer if under 60 bpm
(Assess BP and HR before administration)

A patient is experiencing an overdose of Digoxin. What is the most appropriate nursing
intervention? ✅administer Digoxin Immune Fab

What is angina? ✅acute cardiac pain caused by inadequate blood flow to the
myocardium
-decreased blood flow= chest pain

What is the action of Nitroglycerin? ✅decreases myocardial demand for oxygen

What are the therapeutic effects/ uses of Nitroglycerin? ✅controls angina

What is the action of Atenolol? ✅selectively blocks beta 1 receptor sites; decreases
sympathetic outflow to the periphery; suppresses renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

Which drugs are used to treat acute MI? ✅Atenolol, Metoprolol and Nitroglycerin

What is the action of Diltiazem? ✅inhibits the transport of calcium to the myocardial
cells

which drugs contain the suffix -olol ✅beta blockers

What is Diltiazem used for? ✅relaxes both coronary and peripheral blood vessels,
bringing more oxygen to the myocardium and reducing cardiac workload

, -used for HTN and atrial dysthymias

What is the action of Thiazide diuretic? ✅promotes sodium, chloride and water
excretion
-decreases preload and cardiac output, edema
-acts on arterioles and cause vasodilation which decreases BP

What two diuretics act on the renal distal tubules? ✅Thiazide and Spironlactone

What is the action of Metropolol? ✅promotes BP reduction by beta 1 blocking effects

What is the action of Prazosin Hydrochloride? ✅dilates peripheral blood vessel by
blocking alpha adrenergic receptors

What is the action of Lisinopril? ✅inhibit formation of angiotensin II; blocks the release
of aldosterone

what does aldosterone do ✅Increases reabsorption of sodium and increases secretion
of potassium

What is the action of Valsartan? ✅potent vasodilator that inhibits binding of
angiotensin II

ACE inhibitor ✅Lisinopril

What is the action of Heparin ✅inhibits thrombin, which prevents conversion of
fibrogen to fibrin

If a patient is experiencing Heparin overdose. What is the most appropriate nursing
intervention? ✅administering Protamine Sulfate

What is the action of Warfarin (Coumadin)? ✅depresses hepatic synthesis of vitamin K
clotting factors

the patient is experiencing a warfarin overdose. what is the most appropriate nursing
intervention? ✅administering vitamin K

What is the action of Clopidrogel? ✅inhibits platelet aggregation and prevents ADP
(adenosine diphosphate) from binding with the ADP platelet receptors

What is the action of Alteplase (tPA)? ✅promote conversion of plasminogen to plasmin
(an enzyme that digests fibrin matrix of clots)
-initiates fibrinolysis
