Bumetanide 1 mg tablet, take 1 tablet by mouth twice a day

Class: Loop DiureticTaking: management of fluid retentionNormal Range: 0.5-2 mg once daily, may repeat in 4-5 hours up to two doses not to exceed 10mg/day

MOA: Inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride from the loop of Henle and distal renal tubule. Increases excretion of water, sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and hydrogen ions.

Drug-Drug interaction: Increased risk of hypotension with antihypertensive, nitrates, or acute ingestion of alcohol. Increase risk of hypokalemia with other diuretics, amphotercin B, stimulant laxatives and corticosteroids.

Drug-Food: consult a HCP on a high potassium diet, do not drink alcohol.

Adverse Effects: Dizziness, hypotension, Diarrhea, hypocholoremia, hypokalemia, hyperuricemia.

Monitor:  Monitor daily weight, intake and output ratios, blood pressure, edema amount and location, lung sounds. Notify HCP if thirst, dry mouth, lethargy, weakness, hypotension occurs.

Class: Antidiabetic, Deptidase-IV inhibitor Taking: control of type 2 diabetes.Normal Range: 25,50,100 mg tablets daily

MOA: Dipeptyl peptidase-IV (DDP-IV) inhibitor increases and prolongs incretin hormone activity, which is inactivated by DDP-IV enzyme.  Incretins increase insulin release and synthesizes from pancreatic beta cells and reduce glucagon, secretin from pancreatic alpha cells.

Drug-Drug interactions: may slightly increase serum digoxin levels; monitoring recommended. Increases risk of hyperglycemia when used with insulin, glyburide, glipizide, or glimepiride.

Adverse Effects: headache, pancreatitis, nausea, diarrhea, acute renal failure

Labs: CrCl> 50 mL/minute-no adjustment

CrCl 30-50 mL/minute-50mg/day

CrCl<30mL/minute- 25 mg/day

ESRD: 25 mg/day regardless of hemodialysis.

Monitor: Blood Glucose, HgbA1C

(Vallerand, et.al., 2015, pg.1127)

Class: Calcium Channel BlockerTaking: control of primary hypertension.

Range: Capsule: 10,20mg. Tablet: ER: 30,60,90 mg.

30-60mg by mouth daily; may be increased ever 7-14 days PRN, not to exceed 120 mg/daily.

MOA: inhibits transmembrane influx of extracellular calcium ions across myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes without changing serum calcium levels, thus results in inhibition of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle contraction and there by dilating main coronary and systematic arteries.

Drug-Drug interactions: Rifampin, rifabutin, Phenobarbital, phenytoin, or carbamazepine may cause significantly decreased levels and effects. Contraindicated with ketoconazole, fluconazole, erythromycin, nefazodone may cause levels to increase and its effects to increase.

Adverse effects: headache, peripheral edema, dizziness, flushing, nausea.

Monitor: blood pressure throughout therapy and pulse before administering medication. Monitor EKG changes, intake and outtake ratios and weight loss or gain. Assess for Heart failure (rales, crackles, peripheral edema, dyspnea, JVD).

(Vallerand, et.al., 2015, pg. 898)

Class: Iron ProductsTaking:  treatment of iron deficiency anemia.Range:  45mg, 200mg (65Fe), 300 mg (60Fe), 325 mg (65 Fe).Recommended daily allowance of elemental  iron 19-50 y/o: Female: 18mf/daily.

100mg-200mg PO divided ever 12 hours, may administer extended release daily.

Administration: Take with food or orange juice, may cause stomach ache on empty stomach.

MOA: Replaces iron stores found in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and enzymes, allows transportation of oxygen via hemoglobin.

Drug-Drug interaction: oral iron supplements decrease absorption of tetracyclines, bisphosphates, fluroquinolones, levothyroxine, mycophenolate mofetil and penicillamine and should be avoided.

Drug-Food: food decreases absorption of iron, but does decrease GI irritation as well. Vitamin c will increase absorption.

Adverse effects: Constipation, diarrhea, dark stools, GI irritation, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting.

Monitor: Hemoglobin, Iron, TIBC, and Ferritin during drug therapy.

(Vallerand, et.al., 2015, pg. 709)

Class: ARBTaking: treatment of hypertension and diabetic neuropathy in type 2 diabetics.  Range: 25,50, 100 mg daily. 50 mg/ day (25 mg in patients who are intravascular depleted or receiving diuretics). 25-100 mg/day PO in 1 to 2 doses.

MOA: blocks binding of angiotensin II to type 1 angiotensin II receptors, blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II.

Drug-Drug interactions: NSAIDS and selective COX-2 inhibitors may blunt the antihypertensive effect and increase the risk of renal dysfunction. Increases antihypertensive effects with other antihypertensive and diuretics.

Decrease in patients with possible intravascular depletion or who are on diuretics.

Adverse Effects: Fatigue, hypoglycemia, anemia, UTI, chest pain, weakness, diarrhea, worsening cough, and angioedema.

Monitor: assess BP and pulse periodically during therapy. Notify provider if significant changes occur. Assess for angioedema (Dyspnea, Facial swelling). Monitor daily weight and assess for fluid overload.

Monitor labs: Renal function, electrolyte levels. Serum potassium, BUN, serum creatinine may be increased.

If chills, sweats, fatigue are noted, them this could be a concern for a cardiac event , blood pressure problem, or an adverse effect of Losartan or hypoglycemia

Abnormal changes are a direct result of swelling of the legs and can be cause by her history of primary hypertension (166/96 todays result) or medication ineffectiveness. The dizziness correlates with the effects of consistently high blood pressures. This matches her chief complaint and fits with differential diagnosis of primary hypertension in that the patient is not compliant with exercise, medications, BP monitoring or diet.(Vallerand, et.al., 2015 pg. 233-234 NURS 5304 Soap Note of Mrs S)(Rhodes & Petersen, 2014)

Diarrhea could be an adverse side effect of Losartan if it was noted.

Genitourinary: Negative for dysuria and hematuria

Gyn : differed due to recent D&CLMP: 12/2018

Patient was 17 wks pregnant, but had a miscarriage 5/2019.

Edema present as a result of hospitalization for miscarriage and IV fluid administration (4 units of PRBC, and continuous IV Normal Saline administration) while hospitalized. Also patient is non-compliant with exercise, medication, and diet regimens.

This correlates with the primary hypertension diagnosis, as swelling is a direct result of increased BP and mixed Hyperlipidemia in that increased lipids can cause blood pressure to be increased and in turn cause decreased preload or vascular return to the heart and if not treated can lead to right sided heart failure, and increase swelling in the lower extremities.(Vallerand, et.al., 2015 pg. 233-234)

(Rhodes & Petersen, 2014)

Pt received 4 units of blood while hospitalized with a miscarriage and blood loss was a result. The uses of PRBC’s and IV fluid administration caused fluid overload and cause swelling. Also patient has a history of iron deficiency anemia.

General Appearance: 41 y/o female is alert and oriented, with clear speech and is a good historian. she is well dressed, well nourished, no acute distress and is obese.

Skin: Positive for edema from mid calf to feet. Negative for rash, skin breakage, redness, easy bruising. Edema is a result of uncontrolled hypertension (166/96), non-compliance with medication, diet and exercise regimen. Edema also correlates with the diagnosis of primary hypertension. Also edema is a result of IV fluid administration (4 units of PRBC, and continuous IV Normal Saline administration) while hospitalized.(Vallerand, et.al., 2015 pg. 233-234) (Rhodes & Petersen, 2014)

Abnormal changes are a direct result of swelling of the legs and can be cause by her history of primary hypertension (166/96 todays result) or medication ineffectiveness. Also patient is non-compliant with exercise, medication, and diet regimens. This correlates with the primary hypertension diagnosis, as swelling is a direct result of increased BP and mixed Hyperlipidemia in that increased lipids can cause blood pressure to be increased and in turn cause decreased preload or vascular return to the heart and if not treated can lead to right sided heart failure, and increase swelling in the lower extremities.
