NURSING.com,

I’ve got something I think you’re going to find really useful—two cheat sheets that I leaned on during both nursing school and clinicals.

These are packed with the essential info you need on heart failure medications and the differences between anticoagulants and antiplatelets. You can download them at the bottom of this email.

They’re perfect for quick reference when you’re studying or on the floor.

Cheat Sheet 1: Heart Failure Meds

Let’s start with the basics. Heart failure management often involves a mix of medications, and it’s crucial to understand how each one works. Here’s what you’ll get in this cheat sheet:

Example: Specific medications within the category.
Mechanism: How the medication works to treat heart failure.
Side Effects: Common side effects to watch for.
Mnemonic: A handy trick to help you remember the key points.

Cheat Sheet 2: Anticoagulants vs. Antiplatelets

These two classes of blood thinners can be confusing, but they’re vital in managing patients at risk for clots. This cheat sheet breaks down:

Example: Specific drugs in each class.
Use: When and why each type is used.
Mnemonic: A simple way to remember the differences.
