St Thomas University Wk 3 Hypertension Medication Pharmacology Discussion Ques

 

I’m working on a nursing discussion question and need an explanation to help me study.

The advanced practice nurse is updating the plan of care of nursing home patients with hypertension.

  1. Briefly describe the therapeutic actions of drugs affecting blood pressure (diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, CCB, sympathetic nervous system drugs).
  2. What important teaching points should be addressed for patients receiving antihypertensive drugs?
