Diuretic that causes water and sodium excretion

Alpha adrenergic antagonist

5-alpha reductase inhibitor

Thins mucus making it easier for client to cough up secretions

Acts in CNS to raise cough threshold

Activates alpha adrenergic receptors causing arterioles in nasal passages to constrict anddrys mucus membranes

Can cause rebound congestion if used more than 3-5 days

Licorice potentiates effects

Decreases local inflammation of nasal passages and reduces stuffiness

Blocks histamine from reaching it's H1 receptors, thus blocking an allergic reaction

What should a nurse do for a client on Beta2 adrenergic agonist

Blocks parasympathetic nervous system and is slower than Beta2 adrenergic agonists

Used for long-term asthma and is chemically related to caffeine

What should a nurse do for a client on a methylxanthine
