Trazodone (Desyrel) use and what to avoid

atypical antidepressant •depression and sleep. -Avoid ETOH (alcohol) and other sedatives

The nurse is preparing to teach a client recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about taking glatiramer acetate. Which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching? "I will rotate injection sites to prevent skin irritation." "I need to avoid large crowds and people with infection." "I should report any flulike symptoms to my primary health care provider." "I will report any signs of infection to my primary health care provider."

"I should report any flulike symptoms to my primary health care provider." Glatiramer is given by subcutaneous injection. The first dose is administered under medical supervision, but the nurse teaches the client how to self-administer the medication after the initial dose, reminding the client about the need to rotate injection sites. Like other immunomodulators, this drug can make the client susceptible to infection. However, flulike symptoms occur more commonly with interferons rather than glatiramer.

Bupropion (Buspar) use and SE

atypical antidepressant •depression and to stop smoking -Insomnia, Headache, Weight Loss

when should TCA be taken

night anxiety, depression, neuropathy -Amitriptyline -Imapramine

A client with HIV-III asks the nurse why gabapentin is part of the drug regimen when the client does not have a history of seizures. What response by the nurse is best? "Gabapentin can be used as an antidepressant too." "I have no idea why you would be taking this drug." "This drug helps treat the pain from nerve irritation." "You are at risk for seizures due to fungal infections."

"This drug helps treat the pain from nerve irritation." Many classes of medications are used for neuropathic pain, including tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants such as gabapentin. It is not being used to prevent seizures from fungal infections. If the nurse does not know the answer, he or she would find out for the client.

Spironolactone (Aldactone)

*class*: potassium sparing diuretics *Indication*: potassium loss, hypertension, edema, CHF *Action*: inhibits sodium reabsorption while sparing potassium and hydrogen *Nursing Considerations*: - contraindicated with hyperkalemia - monitor intake and output - monitor blood pressure - monitor potassium levels and renal panel

NNRTIs for HIV

- Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors - Bind to and later alter reverse transcriptase which is an enzyme HIV needs to make copies of itself -check for increased liver enzymes and decreased RBC -report sore throat, bruises, fever -some meds can cause birth defects

HIV PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis), when to start, how long do you take it, how often are you tested

-initiate prophylaxis as soon as possible! -recommendations for HIV PEP include a basic 4-week anti-retroviral regimen start within 36 hours of exposure following cART regime for 28 days, testing done 1, 3, 6 months after -best results when starting cART 2 hours after exposure

truvada for HIV protection

-protection begins after 7 days of use, if day is missed continue taking as regular but if 2 days are missed you need to start over and wait 7 more days before protection is reestablished

A client on antidepressant therapy develops hyperthermia, seizures, and a heart rate of 200 beats per minute. Which medication would the nurse suspect is responsible for the condition? 1 Sertraline 2 Asenapine 3 Risperidone 4 Fluphenazine

1 A heart rate of 200 beats per minute indicates cardiac dysrhythmias. Hyperthermia, seizures, and cardiac dysrhythmias in a client on antidepressant therapy indicate serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is an adverse effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors such as sertraline. Asenapine, risperidone, and fluphenazine are antipsychotics that may cause drowsiness, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, extrapyramidal symptoms, and tardive dyskinesia as adverse effects.

how long does it take for SSRIs to work

2-6 weeks; usually within 4 weeks; some symptoms may improve within 1 to 2 weeks depression, anxiety, PTSD -Sertraline -Citalopram -Escitalopram -Paroxetine -Fluoxetine

Which statement is inaccurate regarding the mechanisms of antiviral medications to control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections? 1 "Maraviroc blocks C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) receptors on CD4 + T cells." 2 "Saquinavir blocks the fusion between HIV and the host cell." 3 "Zidovudine acts as a counterfeit base for reverse transcriptase." 4 "Nelfinavir prevents the breakup of viral protein strand into smaller fragments."

2

A client is lonely and extremely depressed, and the health care provider prescribes a tricyclic antidepressant. The client asks the nurse what the medication will do. Which response is the best would the nurse provide? 1 "This medication will help you forget why you're lonely and depressed." 2 "The medication will make you feel better." 3 "You'll start to feel much better after taking this medication for 2 or 3 days." 4 "This will decrease your social anxiety so you will be more comfortable developing relationships with others."

2 Tricyclic antidepressants create a general sense of well-being, increase appetite, and help lift depression. The client might not know the reason for depression, and the medication does not cause amnesia. Symptomatic relief usually begins after 2 to 3 weeks of therapy. Tricyclic antidepressants are not indicated for treatment of social anxiety; social anxiety disorder is treated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIS), and benzodiazepines.

A client with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia is to receive pentamidine isethionate intravenously (IV) once daily. The nurse will monitor the client for which adverse effect? 1 Hypertension 2 Hypokalemia 3 Hypoglycemia 4 Hypercalcemia

3 Pentamidine isethionate can cause either hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia even after therapy is discontinued, and blood glucose levels should be monitored. Hypotension, not hypertension, occurs with pentamidine isethionate. Hyperkalemia, not hypokalemia, occurs with pentamidine isethionate. Hypocalcemia, not hypercalcemia, occurs with pentamidine isethionate.
