1 A Cardiac Rhythym Strip Analysis

Category	Mechanism of Action
Nitrosoureas	Blocks specific enzymes needed for replication
Dexamethasone	Decrease inflammation and immune response (especially with Taxol) and increases appetite
Antimetabolites	Interferes with DNA synthesis by mimicking metabolites needed for cancer cell reproduction
Chlorpromazine	Decreases shivering response to chemo (shivering uses energy)
Antitumor antibiotics	Modifies DNA function and RNA transcription
Ativan	Relaxation, decreases CINV
Hormones- Cell Cycle Nonspecific	Stimulates cellular differentiation, decreases proliferation
Alkylating Agents	Damages DNA
Benadryl	Blocks histamine response to decrease allergic reaction; always given with Taxol
Plant alkaloids	Inhibits cellular replication during metaphase of mitosis
Hormones- Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM)	Estrogen antagonist
Emend	Blocks neurokinin, the substance in the brain causing nausea & vomiting. Lasts 1 week
Corticosteroids	Disrupts cell membrane, inhibits protein synthesis, depresses immune system
Hormones- Aromatase Inhibitors	Inhibits an enzyme needed for estrogen synthesis
