Nursing considerations by drug

  • Digoxin

    Digoxin for nursing students: full-minute apical pulse, potassium check, toxicity signs like yellow-green vision, the antidote and a practice question.

  • Furosemide

    Furosemide (Lasix) for nursing students: what to check before giving it, dehydration and low potassium signs, hearing changes, and a practice question.

  • Lisinopril

    Lisinopril for nursing students: ACE inhibitor uses, cough versus angioedema, potassium and kidney checks, the pregnancy warning, and a practice question.

  • Metoprolol

    Metoprolol for nursing students: pulse and blood pressure checks before each dose, signs to report, why it isn't stopped suddenly, and a practice question.

  • Warfarin

    Warfarin for nursing students: the INR goal, bleeding signs to report, steady vitamin K intake, the reversal agent, and an NCLEX-style practice question.

Drug comparisons

  • Heparin vs warfarin

    Heparin vs warfarin for nursing students: route, lab (aPTT vs PT/INR), antidote (protamine vs vitamin K), onset, and an NCLEX-style practice question.
