Article CAS PubMed PubMed Central Google Scholar Which agent would a nurse identify as a cholesterol absorption inhibitor?Cholesterol absorption inhibitor - ezetimibe
Ezetimibe (Zetia) is a prescription medication used to help lower cholesterol in the blood. It can be used alone or with other cholesterol-lowering drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor.
What should the nurse suggest to assist a client to improve his cholesterol levels?Increase fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish. 3. Educate on statin medication. Patients who cannot reduce their cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes require statin medication.
Which agent would a nurse identify as a cholesterol absorption inhibitor quizlet?Ezetimibe is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor and comes in tablet form. The other two options are bile acid sequestrants, but should not be taken with carbonated beverages. The carbonation interferes with the absorption of the drug. The patient asks the nurse what atorvastatin (Lipitor), newly prescribed, will do.
How should the nurse instruct the client to take his lovastatin?Swallow the extended-release tablets whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. Your doctor may start you on a low dose of lovastatin and gradually increase your dose, not more than once every 4 weeks.
