digoxin (Lanoxin)
furosemide (Lasix)
albuterol (Proventil)
Risk for hypokalemia
Concurrent use of phenelzine sulfate (Nardil), a MAOI and metaproterenol (Metaprel), a beta agonist
Places the client at high risk for a hypertensive crisis
May result in hyperglycemia
epinephrine (Bronkaid)
Proper administration of inhalants:
Shake
1 minute between inhalations
Rinse afterwards
Head midline & lean back slightly
Inhale as cylinder is pressed
Hold for several seconds
Assess site for extravasation continuously (significant necrosis at injection site w/ extravasation)
norepinephrine bitartrate (Levophed)
Seizure precautions
theophylline
Risk of cross-allergenicity between...
Sulfa drugs, cephalosporins, and penicillin
Not as likely to be a cross-allergen with penicillin
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Decreases inflammation and makes it easier to breathe
beclomethasone (Beclovent)

(anti-inflammatory - for COPD)
Prophylactic for mild, seasonal asthma
Cromolyn (Intal)

*nonsteroidal agent which stabilizes mast cells so bronchoconstriction will not occur
glucocorticoid drug that reduces the response of the immune system
flunisolide (Aerobid)

*reduces the function of neutrophils
Utilized to prevent asthmatic attacks - it inhibits a chemical call leukotriene from constricting your wind pipe
montelukast (Singulair)
Erythromycin stearate (Erypar) is likely to decrease the bioavailability of
zafirlukast (Accolate)

*Signs and symptoms of an acute asthma attack are likely to recur
Known to cause cardiac dysrhythmias
Loratadine (Claritin)
Long term use will result in thinning of the mucous membranes, which could result in intractable epistaxis
Nasal sprays

*Intended for temporary use
The proper techniques for the administration of nasal sprays
As you squeeze the nasal spray, inhale and press on the opposite nostril.
Prescribed to treat the daytime sleepiness or drowsiness often experienced by client with sleep apnea
modafinil (Provigil)

*side effects include: nausea, dyspnea, lung disorders, rhinitis, fluctuation in blood pressure and cardiac dysrhythmias
Do not perform activities that place you in danger while taking this drug.
guaifenesin (Robitussin)
May affect platelet aggregation and should not be taken concurrently with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin
guaifenesin (Robitussin)
Associate antitussives with
Non-productive, dy, hacking coughs
Associate acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) with
Mobilizing/thinning of purulent or non- purulent secretions
The Venturi mask can administer
50% oxygen
The nasal cannula can administer up to
6 L/min, which is approximately 44% oxygen
The non-rebreather mask administers
60% to 100% oxygen
The partial non-rebreather mask administers
70% to 90% oxygen
epinephrine bitartrate (Bronkaid) is a
Catecholamine that causes constriction of arterioles and decreased histamine release, which results in decreased edema, which results in increased lumen size which results in increased oxygenation
For congestive heart failure (CHF)
Digoxin - increases cardiac contractility resulting in increased cardiac output
Bumetanide (Bumex) - a loop diuretic
Theraputic serum theophylline (Theo-Dur) level
When the level is >20 mg/dL, the nurse should be concerned about toxicity
Liver disease and congestive heart failure can cause increased levels of
theophylline (Theo-Dur)
The child receiving inhaled corticosteroids should be assessed for
Impaired bone growth
Consider corticosteroids an impediment to
The growth rate of a child
Teaching for PT taking flunisolide (Aero-Bid-M)
Inhaled corticosteroids predispose the client to osteoporosis

*especially middle-aged females
It is not advisable to take 2 antihistamines - i.e. loratadine (Claritin) concurrently - True or False?
True
The duration of Brompheniramine acetate (Dimetane-DC) is
4 times greater than dextromethorphan hydrobromide (Robitussin DM)
Brompheniramine acetate (Dimetane-DC) is an
Antihistamine that contains codeine
Brompheniramine acetate (Dimetane-DC) has a duration of up to
48 hours
dextromethorphan hydrobromide (Robitussin DM) has a duration of
3-6 hours
Associate COPD with
Oxygen trapping and the change in respiratory drive to hypoxic, which in turn requires limitation of oxygen delivery
Clients with COPD they need an O2 level of
1-2 L/min rather the normal of 2-4 L/min.
