@nurse_knowledge_nuggets: For nurses and nursing students... calcium channel blockers are medications you’ll definitely see in clinical practice and on your exams. These drugs are used to treat hypertension, angina, and certain arrhythmias. They work by blocking calcium entry into cardiac and smooth muscle cells, causing vasodilation, lowering heart rate, and reducing cardiac workload. Key nursing considerations include monitoring for hypotension, bradycardia, edema, and constipation, as well as teaching patients to avoid grapefruit juice and change positions slowly.
