CORRECT Answers
What does A stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Ace Inhibitors
What does ACE stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔angiotensin-converting enzyme
What is the angiotensin-converting enzyme responsible for? - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔Converts angiotensin I to angiotension II
What does angiotensin II do? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Potent vasoconstrictor that
stimulates the secretion of aldosterone.
What does this conversion to angiotensin II and the secretion of aldosterone cause? -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Raises blood pressure
increases retention of water and sodium
increases excretion of potassium
How do ACE inhibitors work? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔ACE inhibitors block
angiotensin-converting enzyme from converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent
vasoconstrictor). This in turn lowers blood pressure
What are the nursing responsibilities for administering ace inhibitors? - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔Monitoring blood pressure (sys at least 100)
Monitoring potassium (risk of hyperkalemia level should be 3.5-5)
Monitor for a persistent cough-common side effect
Monitor for angioedema-rare side effect

, What is an example of an ACE inhibitor and what is the common ending for these drugs? -

What are the two types of beta adrenergic blockers? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Selective
and Nonselective
How do selective beta adrenergic blockers work? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Can
selectively block Beta-1 receptors- found predominantly in the heart
How do nonselective beta adrenergic blockers work? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔By
blocking both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. Beta-2 receptors are found predominantly in the
lungs
What are the effects of the cardioselective beta 1 blockades? - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔Decreases heart rate
Decreases blood pressure
Slows/decreases the conduction of the AV node
Decreases myocardial oxygen demand
Decreases myocardial contractility
What are the effects of the blockade of beta 2 receptors (nonselective)? - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔Bronchoconstriction
What patients should avoid taking Nonselective beta blockers? - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔Patients with asthma or other respiratory complications
What are beta adrenergic blockers used to treat? - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔Angina
Hypertension
Dysrhythmias
Myocardial infarction
