blood pressure

1. Drop in blood pressure when standing requiring patient teaching to change positions slowly
4. Hold beta blocker if heart rate is below this number
6. Sudden increase in blood pressure after stopping certain antihypertensives abruptly

10. Key electrolyte to monitor with ACE inhibitors ARBs and spironolactone
11. Condition where nonselective beta blockers should be avoided

14. Common side effect of calcium channel blockers like amlodipine
15. Priority assessment to monitor fluid status in patients on diuretics
18. First line lifestyle modification for hypertension

2. Serious adverse effect of loop diuretics affecting hearing
3. Potassium sparing diuretic that can cause hyperkalemia
5. Food that increases levels of calcium channel blockers
7. Dangerous high potassium level seen with ACE inhibitors and potassium sparing diuretics
8. Condition where ACE inhibitors and ARBs are contraindicated
9. ACE inhibitors increase this causing dry cough and angioedema
12. Risk associated with diuretic therapy due to fluid loss
14. Life threatening swelling of airway seen with ACE inhibitors
16. Common side effect of antihypertensives requiring fall precautions
