7. Adenosine (antidysrhythmics)
8. Amiodarone (antidysrhythmics)
9. Atropine (antidysrhythmics)
10. Atorvastatin, Simvastatin (antilipemic) - correct answer 1. use cautiously when given with diuretics because it can cause hyperkalemia, closely monitor for swelling of the mouth or lips (angioedema)
2. do not consume with grapefruit juice, can cause constipation and reflex tachycardia
3. 4 Bs: bradycardia, bronchospams, BP (hypotension), blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
4. administer 1st dose (sublingual), rest for 5 mins, call 911, give 2nd dose, rest for 5 mins, give 3rd dose
5. can cause profound hypotension and cyanide toxicity (Nitroprusside)
6. Dig toxicity: nausea (early), vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, blurred vision, hypokalemia, and hypomagnesium. Assess apical pulse for 1 min before taking. Digibind.
7. slows conduction via AV node, rapid (1 to 2 sec) push
8. relaxes smooth muscle, incompatible with heparin
9. increases heart rate, used to symptomatic bradycardia, can cause anticholinergic effects
10. can cause muscle aches, Rhabdomylosis, take at night, don't take with Warfarin or grapefruit juice

9. phenylnephrine, pseudoephedrine (decongestions)
10. diphengydramine, loratadine (pseudoep - correct answer 1. causes bronchodilation, not given to pts with tachydysrhythmias, can cause tachycardia, palpitations, and trem [Show Less]
