NURSE” Model for Learning Medications Name – class of medications (include 2-3 exemplar drugs) and brief description of mechanism of action Uses – why would a patient take this medication? Responsibilities – what do I assess before giving the med? what do I monitor for after the medication has been administered? Side Effects – most common side effects, any life-threatening side effects Education – what does my patient need to know to safely take this medication? does the medication require special handling or preparation? Example — ACE Inhibitors N: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors, typically end in “PRIL” such as Lisinopril, Benazepril, and Captopril. Works by RAAS inhibition by preventing conversion of Angiotensin 1 to Angiotensin 2. U: Heart Failure, HTN, MI R: Assess BP and HR prior to administration, monitor electrolytes and renal function (may increase K+ leading to hyperkalemia and ECG changes, possible elevation of BUN and Creatinine), Assess for signs/symptoms of angioedema (life-threatening swelling). Assess patient tolerance of medication. S: Dry cough that persists (ACE cough), dizziness, orthostatic hypotension, hyperkalemia, angioedema. E: Check BP and Pulse regularly and record/journal it daily, avoid salt substitutes (many high in K+, dry cough that is bothersome requires notification of provider, do not abruptly stop or skip medication doses (rebound hypertension), immediately report any facial swelling, tongue swelling, or difficulty breathing (angioedema).
