What class of medications should be recommended
1. Say you have been assigned as a patient educator in a large hospital, and a
patient comes in for information regarding a new medication she will be
taking. The patient comes into the meeting and tells you she has been
prescribed Anafranil. What information will you give the patient about how the
drug will help reduce depression and the potential adverse effects of this
medication?
2. Beatrice has been seen by her physician, and he has diagnosed her with CHF.
The doctor calls your pharmacy and asks if the pharmacist would recommend a
medication that would decrease preload and afterload and that would not cause
angioedema. What class of medications should be recommended? What adverse
effects can be seen with these medications?
