For “Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias unresponsive to less toxic agents” (Vallerand et al., 2015).

Assessment: Monitor ECG, heart rate and rhythm, assess pacing and defibrillation threshold, assess for signs of pulmonary toxicity (rales/crackles, wheezes, hypoxia, decreased breath sounds), monitor BP, neurotoxicity, thyroid dysfunction, liver dysfunction, and weight gain (Vallerand et al., 2015).

Generic: Spironalactone Trade: Aldactone Diuretic

For management of edema from HF (Vallerand et. al, 2015)

Assessment: Monitor I&O, assess BP before admin, assess for hyperkalemia s/s and labs, periodic ECGs, assess skin for rash, SJ-syndrome, or toxic epidermal necrolysis (Vallerand et al., 2015).

Generic: carvedilol Trade: Coreg Beta Blocker

Assessment: Monitor BP and pulse frequently, weight and assess for fluid overload (edema, rales/crackles, dyspnea, JVD), monitor BUN, creatinine, and electrolyte levels. Assess for orthostatic hypotension (Vallerand et al., 2015).

Assessment: Monitor BP, pulse, ECG, respiratory rate, cardiac index, central venous pressure, hypotension, I&O, assess for signs of HF, assess for s/s of allergic reaction (Vallerand et al., 2015).

Generic: warfarin Trade: Coumadin Anticoagulant

Assessment: Assess for s/s of bleeding, bruising, tarry stools, BP, guaiac-positive stools, urine, and fall of hematocrit, assess for thrombosis, monitor labs for PT, INR (Vallerand et al., 2015).
