• Pharmacodynamics • Oral anticoagulants such as warfarin (Coumadin) inhibit the hepatic synthesis of several clotting factors, including factor X. • Heparin inhibits the activity of several activated clotting factors by accelerating the activity of antithrombin III. • LMWH enoxaparin (Lovenox) potentiates the activity of antithrombin III and inactivates factors Xa and IIa (thrombin).

Drugs: Anti-gout agents: allopurinol (Zyloprim), colchicine, and febuxostat (Uloric) Uricosuric agents: probenecid (Benemid) and sulfinpyrazone (Anturane) o Peak incidence 70 to 79 years old, more common in men than women o Gout in women occurs exclusively post-menopausal and is associated with HTN, renal insufficiency, and diuretics o Gout Syndrome: Caused by an alteration in purine metabolism: end product is uric acid o Hyperuricemia and deposition of urate crystals in various tissues ...

o Drugs: benazepril, captopril, enalapril, fosinopril, lisinopril, and moexipril, perindopril, quinapril, ramipril, trandolapril o Pharmacodynamics: o MOA: Slows or inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme which then decrease how much angiotensin II (AT II) is produced thus lowering BP o Inhibit RAAS activity=decreased production of both angiotensin II and aldosterone o Act on the RAAS system: decreases peripheral vascular resistance (decreased afterload) o Indirectly reduce the secretion...

Question 1 1 / 1 pts Diagnosis of heart failure cannot be made by symptoms alone because many disorders share the same symptoms.

Standardized terminologies (STs) contribute to the development of knowledge because they ensure that all professionals share the same understanding or meaning of a given concept, to clarify communication, facilitate research, and provide structure for decision support tools and EHRs. As you look at the Foundation of Knowledge model, STs support knowledge acquisition, dissemination, generation, and processing. STs are structured, controlled languages developed to represent concepts in a given do...
