Norepinephrine Mnemonic for NCLEX, Nursing Pharmacology

Study this Norepinephrine mnemonic for NCLEX and other mnemonics with Pixorize. Norepinephrine, also known by its trade name Levophed, is a vasoconstricting drug that raises blood pressure to treat severe hypotension, especially cases of shock. The IV site must be monitored closely, as a major side effect is tissue necrosis if the IV leaks into surrounding tissue. If leakage or extravasation does occur, this tissue damage can be reversed by the drug phentolamine. Subscribe for more: Study interactive image: , Norepinephrine, Levophed, Hypotension, NCLEX
