Blood Pressure Pharmacology for Nurses | How ACE Inhibitors and ARBs Really Work

Описание: If you are giving or prescribing lisinopril, losartan, or other angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, you must understand the system they target.

In this lesson, we break down the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System in a clear, logical way so you understand how blood pressure is regulated, why vasoconstriction happens, and how volume expansion occurs.

You will learn:
• What triggers renin release
• How angiotensin two raises blood pressure
• Why aldosterone affects sodium and potassium
• How angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers lower blood pressure
• The clinical reasoning behind prescribing these medications

This lesson is essential for Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, and Nurse Practitioners preparing for board examinations or strengthening clinical judgment.

Understanding this pathway turns pharmacology from memorization into logic.
