This document summarizes key information about three drugs:
1. Chloroquine is an antimalarial and ambicide that inhibits heme polymerase in malarial parasites. It is taken orally and can cause side effects like headaches, seizures, and blurred vision. Nurses monitor patients for allergies and assess vital signs.
2. Lopinavir is a protease inhibitor used to treat HIV infections. It is taken orally and can cause side effects like diarrhea, headache, and nausea. Nurses assess patients' alertness and monitor ECG, blood pressure, and heart rate.
3. Tocilizumab blocks interleukin-6, which is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It is
