ACE inhibitors vs ARBs (mechanism of action) nursing review for NCLEX pharmacology. • Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiontensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) both work to affect the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). However, they affect this system in different ways but achieve the same results on the body. • ACE Inhibitors inhibit ACE from converting Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. While ARBs prevent angiotensin II from binding with angiotensin II type I receptor sites. Both of these mechanisms of action will prevent the role of angiotensin II in the body. • These medications will cause vasodilation of vessels and decrease the release of aldosterone, which will cause the kidneys to excrete sodium and water and keep potassium. • ACEI and ARBs are used to treat hypertension, heart failure, post MIs, and slow the progression of kidney disease in type 2 diabetics (diabetic nephropathy). • ACE Inhibitors can lead to a dry, nagging cough along with angioedema, while this is rare to occur with ARBs. • Nursing considerations for these medications are: educating the patient to avoid foods high in potassium, preventing rebound hypertension, lifestyle changes, monitoring for renal failure in patients who are dependent on the RAAS (severe heart failure) etc. • Quizzes: • ARBs:https://www.registerednursern.com/arb... • ACEI: https://www.registerednursern.com/ace... • Notes: https://www.registerednursern.com/arb... • More Pharmacology Reviews: • Nursing Pharmacology • Nursing Gear: https://teespring.com/stores/register... • Instagram: / registerednursern_com • Facebook: / registerednurserns • Twitter: / nursesrn • #aceinhibitorsvsarbs #aceinhibitors #pharmacologynursing • Website: https://www.registerednursern.com/ • Popular Playlists: • NCLEX Reviews: • NCLEX Study Strategies • Fluid Electrolytes: • Fluid and Electrolytes Nursing • Nursing Skills: • Nursing Skills Videos
