|
General |
-affect PNS; sympathetic -directly blocks receptor or indirectly prevents release of norepinephrine -4 groups: alpha; beta; alpha & beta; anti-Adrenergic |
|
|
Alpha |
-blocks alpha receptors -especially effective on vascular system -HTN |
|
|
Beta |
-blocks beta receptors -especially effective on heart receptors -HTN; CHF; arrhythmias; migraines; angina; glaucoma |
|
|
Alpha & Beta |
-blocks both alpha & beta receptors -effective on either alpha or beta nerve receptors -HTN; CHF |
|
|
Anti-Adrenergic |
-prevent the release of neurotransmitters (in PNS & CNS) -blocks Adrenergic nerve impulses in both the CNS & PNS -HTN & BPH |
|
|
Nursing implication |
-Check HR prior to administration; HR must be >60 -check BP; systolic BP -hold & call PCP |
|
