Matching Pairs Cardiac Antihypertensive Medications (Part 1)Online version This game is for Nursing Students who are studying Pharmacology, or for those preparing for the NCLEX. Studying cardiac antihypertensive medications and matching the correct pairs for the THERAPEUTIC USES & COMPLICATIONS (Part 1 of antihypertensive meds). May make everything into one part if I am able to edit, if not then Part 2 will include contraindications/precautions, interactions, medication administration. If a part 3 is needed then it would include Nursing Interventions and Client Education. Primarily made to help me study because I like videogames and I'm trying to make studying fun. I would suggest taking notes and playing multiple times until the information sticks in your mind. READ EACH CHOICE CAREFULLY AND USE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. Also, ensure that you do further research on each medication so that you can ace your exams.
