Anti infective agents |
treat infection and act on different organisms |
|
|
antibiotics |
destroy and/or reduce the production of bacteria |
|
|
antiviral |
destroy, but many just slow viral replication |
|
|
antifungal |
destroy and/or reduce the production of fungi |
|
|
anti infective agents can be toxic to the what |
bone marrow kidneys liver |
|
|
bone marrow |
monitor CBC H&H WBC Platelet count |
|
|
kidneys |
monitor I&O monitor for increases in BUN, creatinine |
|
|
Liver |
monitor hepatic panel LFTs |
|
|
what signs and symptoms associated with antibiotics |
nausea, vomiting and diarrhea common with all antibiotics, stomatitis, hearing impairment, headache, depression |
|
|
culture |
blood or tissue is cultured to determine infecting organism |
|
|
sensitivity |
by the organism to the drug is determined |
|
|
broad spectrum |
antibiotics that interfere with biochemical reactions in a wide variety of organisms |
|
|
resistance |
ability of organism to change their cell wall or enzyme systems |
|
|
superinfections |
overgrowth of resistant pathogens |
|
|
urticaria (hives |
observe for a raised, red itchy rash (can be a precursor to anaphylaxis) |
|
|
angioedema |
observe patient for edema of the lips, mouth, tongue, neck, larynx (can cause airway obstruction |
|
|
anaphylaxis |
chest pain SOB pallor diaphoresis hypotension (nurse should stop med, stay with patient, VS, assessment, oxygen, if necessary CPR, notify MD) |
|
|
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors functional classification action indication ends in what |
antihypertensive causes blood vessels to dilate/reduce circulatory volume mild to severe hypertension/heart failure end in "pril" |
|
|
angiotensin receptor blockers |
these drugs help blood vessels relax by blocking the action of angiotensin |
|
|
When compared with ACE inhibitors ARB are less likely to cause what when used in the Rx of hypertension |
marked hyperkalemia, cough, and angioedema |
|
|
sympathetic = drugs that mimic the sympathetic nervous system are Auntonomic Nervous system (ANS) sympathetic |
adrenergic sympathomimetic fight or flight increased Bp/HR/BS bronchodilation pupillary dilation decreased peristalsis |
|
|
Parasympathetic = drugs that mimic the parasympathetic nervous system are |
cholinergic parasympathomimetic decreased HR/Bp bronchoconstriction pupillary constriction increased peristalsis |
|
|
Beta 1 receptors beta 2 receptors |
act primarily on the heart act primarily on the lungs |
|
|
Beta adrenergic blocker (beta blockers) functional classification action end in what |
antihypertensive/antianginal/antiarrhythmic decrease HR, BP, and cardiac output decrease glucose metabolism may cause bronchoconstriction end in "lol" |
