back 11

Diuresis and supsequent mobilization of excess fluid. Decreased blood pressure

front 12

Loop Diuretic

Furosemide (Lasix)

Interventions and patient education

back 12

Assess: BP, pulse, I&Os, daily weights, and K+.

Side effects: electrolyte imbalance -> can cause hypokalemia, May increase BUN

front 13

Antiarrhythmic

Digoxin

Interventions and patient education

back 13

Monitor Apical pulse x1 min before administration. Hold if P<60bpm (adult). Monitor for s/sx of of digoxin toxicity (NVD, yellow green halos). Low potassium (hypokalemia) increases risk of toxicity, so caution when taking furosemide as furosemide can cause low potassium.

front 14

Steroid/Corticosteroid

Prednisone

“-sone”

Interventions and patient education

back 14

Monitor WBC and Blood Glucose. Assess for infection

front 15

Beta Blocker

Metoprolol

“-olol”

Interventions and patient education

back 15

Assess BP and HR. Monitor for hypotension and bradycardia. Medication can cause bronchoconstriction and patients with chronic respiratory dx will not need this.

front 16

Calcium Channel

Blocker

Amlodipine

“-pine”

Intervention and patient education

back 16

Assess BP, HR and peripheral edema. Monitor for hypotension and bradycardia
