After recovery from an episode of acute pulmonary edema, the physician ordered to administer angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Which of the following best explain the purpose of these order?
• A. To reduce blood pressure
• B. To increase contractility
• C. To decrease contractility
• D. To promote diuresis
Correct Answer: A - ACE inhibitors are given to reduce blood pressure by inhibiting aldosterone production, which in turn decreases sodium and water reabsorption. ACE inhibitors also reduce production of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which can increase the risk of a blood clot.
Inotropic agents increases contractility not ace inhibitors - inotropic agents are known as Digoxin and dobutamine. Negative inotropic agents decreases contractility, examples of negative entropic agents are beta blockers and calcium channel blockers . Diuretics are given to promote diuresis, examples of diuretics can be lasix, aldactone, and bumex.

Hey!! I'm gonna start nursing school in a few months. I just wanted to ask--how do you end up with a specialty? Like, let's say I want to work in pediatrics. I'm getting my BSN. Then I have to take the nclex. After that, what do I do ?

+Jessica L. Hi Jessica! Great question! After graduating from nursing school and passing boards, your first job will determine your initial specialty/competency. Once you work for usually a year - you are considered competent in that specialty and therefore can say you are a "Pediatric" "Med Surg" or "ICU" nurse. I hope this helps!! xoxo - Caroline
GOt that one wrong, but thanks for the explanation I get it now ;)

I recently read this comment that nurses only do crap work and doctors are the only real ones that save lives. I want to be a nurse but hearing things like this just take a huge shot at your confidence. Do u have any tips to boost your confidence and any tips on how to ignore people that say things like this? I think nurses are one of the most hard working people and out of the doctor and the nurse the nurse is the one with the most patient contact but yet the doctor saves the life. I love nursing and want to be a NICU nurse but if this is the kind of talk and attitude nurses put up with I'm sorry I'll just have to find another profession. I salute nurses that have to put up with this stuff on a daily and still hold their heads high. How do they do it? Any tips?
