This set covers a beta blocker, an ACE inhibitor, and a loop diuretic — three drug classes you will see repeatedly on the NCLEX — alongside digoxin and warfarin, two high-alert drugs with narrow margins and dedicated monitoring.
Terms in this set
- Metoprolol A cardioselective beta-1 blocker used to manage hypertension, angina, and heart failure.
- Lisinopril An ACE inhibitor that lowers blood pressure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
- Furosemide A loop diuretic used to treat edema and hypertension by blocking sodium reabsorption in the loop of Henle.
- Digoxin A cardiac glycoside that slows and strengthens the heartbeat; used in heart failure and atrial fibrillation.
- Warfarin An oral anticoagulant that inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors; used to prevent thromboembolic events.
