Question Answered step-by-step EVENING A When treating hypertension with two medications, they should both be of different drug classifications. Atenolol and Metoprolol are both beta-adrenergic blockers. This means that both drugs have the same mechanism of action and would be ineffective.B Both medications are of different classes, therefore this would be an effective drug combination. Metolazone is a thiazide diuretic and Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). The nurse would not question this order since they are both of different drug classes.C The nurse should not question this order because both drugs have different mechanisms of action. Captopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) and Furosemide is a loop diuretic. Since both medications are of different classes, this combination is effective.D Bumetanide is a loop diuretic and Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker. Both medications are of different classes, therefore have different mechanisms of action. The nurse should not question this order since the medication combination is effective.• What financial value conflicts might patients have with respect to this issue?• What financial value conflicts might healthcare providers have with respect to this issue?• What financial value conflicts might insurance companies have with respect to this issue?• What financial value conflicts might other stakeholders have with respect to this issue?• Why is it important to understand these value conflicts when making decisions related to health policy?• How might the competition between these financial value conflicts affect both stakeholders' influence on the issue and how stakeholders are impacted by the issue itself?1.
