Some Other Interesting Facts Likely To Be On The Test Thiazide Diuretics increase blood sugar Diabetics need food high in potassium like oranges, bananas and brocholli. Vitamine K is a natural coagulant Foods high in Vitamin K like green leafy vegatables should be avoided with blood thinners. Normal potassium levels 3.5 to 5.0 mEq/liter Potassium levels under 3.5 is Hypokalemia Vasodilators: (esp nitroglyerine) innitially have orthostatic hypotension side effect which wears off over time Diuretic Loop: Calcium channel blockers listed AngioTension II Receptor Antagonist All listed treat Hypertension All Treat Hypretension and Angina All listed treat Hypertension

ACE- Inhibitors: 1) Are the primary drug of choice for vasodilation in Heart Failure 2) One side effect of ACE-I is orthostatic hypotension. 3) OF ACE-I Listed all treat Hypertension & CHF some also treat MI Beta Blockers : 1) All listed treat Hypertension & Angina 2) Most Treat CHF & Arrythmia 3) Must bt be taper slowly when discontinued to avoid Angina. Complications of Hypertension are: 1) Angina 2) stroke 3) Renal failure 4) Heart failure If digitalis is ordered Give digitals if 60 >HR < 120 Hold digitalis if 60 <HR > 120
