Question 13

Action of potassium sparing diuretics

Answer 13

removes excess fluid whilst retaining potassium and lowers blood pressure

Question 14

Action of ACE inhibitors

Answer 14

relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure

Question 15

Action of beta blockers

Answer 15

Blocks effects of adrenaline on the heart. Lowers HR and BP and improves cardiac function

Question 16

Action of Calcium channel blockers

Answer 16

Relax and widen blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into muscle cells. Reduces BP and improves flow.

Question 17

Action of diuretics

Answer 17

increase urine production to remove excess fluid and salt from body. Lowers BP and reduces fluid overload

Question 18

Action of cardiac glycoside

Answer 18

Helps control heart rhythm in cardiac conditions such as atrial fibrillation

Question 19

Action of factor Xa inhibitors

Answer 19

Inhibits the factor Xa protein, preventing it from clotting the blood. Slowing the blood clotting process.

Question 20

Action of Alpha blockers

Answer 20

Blocks alpha receptors on blood cells, preventing constriction of vessels and allowing easier blood flow.
