ORMC PCU TEST EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH 100% VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
◉ What is the difference between STEMI and non STEMI? Answer:
The biggest difference is when the blood flow to the heart is
COMPLETELY BLOCK which causes ischemia and tissue damage.
◉ T or F - NSTEMI can lead to STEMI Answer: True.
◉ T or F - ALL patient who is having an MI will feel chest
tightness/pain Answer: False; not everybody will fill pain especially
patient who are diabetic due to neuropathy
◉ What are the lab that are checked to diagnosed MI? Answer: 1.
Troponin
2. CK MB
◉ How to determine if patient is having a NSTEMI or STEMI?
Answer: STEMI shows ST elevation in the ECG
◉ T or F - Unstable angina will causes an abnormal return of CK MB
and troponin Answer: False; unstable angina does not cause this
,◉ T or F - Unstable angina will reflect on an ECG Answer: False, it
will not
◉ What is the main treatment for STEMI? Answer: RE PERFUSION
THERAPY
◉ What is the treatment for NSTEMI? Answer: MONA
◉ T or F: ST elevations will only show up for patient who is having a
STEMI Answer: True
◉ What is ischemia? Answer: lack of blood flow
◉ What is the most common cause of MI? Answer: blood clot in an
artery already narrowed down with atheroslerotic plaque
◉ What is the difference between NSTEMI and STEMI? Answer:
NSTEMI does not cause myocardial damage. STEMI causes
myocardial damage.
◉ How to differentiate diagnosing NSTEMI and STEMI Answer: 1.
STEMI shows ST elevation on ECG, while NSTEMI will not
2. Both will show a change in cardiac markers
, ◉ T or F: Fibrinolytics therapy is the goal treatment for NSTEMI
Answer: False, this is not need for patient who are having NSTEMI
◉ What is triple A? Answer: abdominal aortic aneurysm.
1. localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta
◉ What are the signs of ruptured triple A? Answer: 1. unexplained
rapid hypotension
2. abdominal pain
3. sweating
◉ What is the treatment for Triple A? Answer:
◉ What are signs and symptoms of "stable triple A"? Answer: 1. back
pain
2. abdominal pain
3. pulsating mass
◉ What is the treatment for triple A? Answer: 1. goal is preventing
from rupturing
2. for large and fast growing surgical option is needed
