Propanolol is a beta-blocker used to treat angina and prevent syncope. It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors. It can cause side effects like slower heart rate, diarrhea, and fatigue. Nurses monitor for signs of peripheral vasoconstriction and provide comfort measures.
Isoniazid is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent tuberculosis. It works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis. Common side effects include numbness and liver problems. Nurses watch for signs of drug-induced hepatitis and seizures and report them to the physician.
