NCLEX-RN Complete Prep Course — Lesson 63: Cardiovascular Medications I: Antihypertensives and Diuretics

Sarah Mitchell matches each antihypertensive class to its signature harm: ACE inhibitor cough, angioedema, and hyperkalemia with ARBs as the switch; beta blocker holding parameters and masked hypoglycemia; amlodipine edema and diltiazem rate control. She sorts the three diuretic families by their potassium effect, covers clonidine, hydralazine, nitroprusside, and alpha blockers, and teaches orthostatic precautions, daily weights, and which drug fits diabetes, heart failure, and pregnancy.
