KEY: Application MSC: NCLEX Category: Basic Care and Comfort
NOT: See Minerals (p. 7): Diuretic drugs such as furosemide (Lasix) cause the body to lose excess water through the kidneys, and potassium, a vital mineral is also excreted with the water. Potassium is contained in sweet potatoes, bananas, and oranges.
TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Anti-diabetic medication KEY: Analysis
MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies
NOT: See Synthetic Medications (p. 8): Insulin can be obtained from pigs or cows, but a synthetic source is most commonly used. This change occurred because of concern over the possible transmission of diseases from animals to humans. Synthetic medications are usually more inexpensive because they are mass produced.
TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Combination drug (diuretic/nitrate)
KEY: Analysis MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapy
NOT: See Synthetic medications (p. 8). BiDil is a combination of two generic drugs and is used to treat African American patients with heart failure.
TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Antibiotics KEY: Analysis
MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies
NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 8): Prophylactic medications are given to prevent problems such as antibiotics given before surgery to prevent infection. Example of cefazolin is listed in Table 1.2.
Difficulty Level: Easy
PTS: 1 DIF: Easy TOP: Therapeutic Classification: Replacement hormones
KEY: Knowledge MSC: NCLEX Category: Pharmacological Therapies
NOT: See Categorizing Medications (p. 9): Replacement drugs are given to replace missing substances. Levothyroxine sodium (Synthroid) is a drug that replaces missing thyroid hormone. Estrogen may be given to women once they enter menopause. Iodine 131 is a radioactive medication used to help diagnose thyroid abnormalities. Carbimazole is used to inhibit the production of thyroid hormone to treat hyperthyroidism.
