Today's video is all about ACE Inhibitors vs. ARBS.

The NCLEX focuses on key differences between ACE inhibitors vs. ARBs, including their mechanism of action or mode of action, as well as the main side effects to watch for when giving these antihypertensive drugs. Since ACE's and ARB's prevent the action angiotensin 2 and aldosterone hormone, this results in a retention of potassium leading to hyperkalemia. For this reason, Ace inhibitors and Angiotensin receptor blockers are considered potassium-sparing medications.
