GUARANTEED PASS
Essential (primary) hypertension accounts for - CORRECT ANSWER-accounts for 90% of cases
Secondary hypertension may be caused by - CORRECT ANSWER-Chronic renal failure
Nitroglycerin routes of administration - CORRECT ANSWER-Is a nitrate that can be administered
intravenous (IV), sublingual (SL), as a topical ointment, and as a transdermal patch
Nitrates are contraindicated with - CORRECT ANSWER-PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil and
vardenafil)
Amiodarone - CORRECT ANSWER-Is an antiarrhythmic of choice when there is coexisting heart
failure; can cause thyroid and pulmonary toxicity
Alpha-1 adrenergic stimulation results in - CORRECT ANSWER-Vasoconstriction and increased
blood pressure
Alpha-1 adrenergic blockade results in - CORRECT ANSWER-Reduced heart rate, reduced blood
pressure, and reduced cardiac output
,Left heart failure causes - CORRECT ANSWER-Reduced delivery of oxygenated blood to the body
tissues
Right sided heart failure is associated with - CORRECT ANSWER-Pulmonary disease and
increased pulmonary vascular resistance
A drug that relieves heart failure symptoms but does not reduce mortality is - CORRECT
ANSWER-Furosemide
Loop diuretics like furosemide are - CORRECT ANSWER-Potent diuretics, can cause diuretic
resistance and hypokalemia, and work on receptors in the thick ascending renal loop of Henle
Loop diuretics inhibit - CORRECT ANSWER-The reabsorption of sodium and chloride at this site
in the kidney
Potassium-sparing diuretics - CORRECT ANSWER-Spironolactone and Triamterene
Milrinone - CORRECT ANSWER-Is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used for acute heart failure
Children diagnosed with the tetralogy of Fallot - CORRECT ANSWER-Can stop hypoxic spells by
squatting down (a compensatory mechanism)
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) is - CORRECT ANSWER-A congenital heart defect with a
continuous machine-like murmur heard over the left upper sternal border in both systole and
diastole, a bounding pulse and a thrill on palpation
Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) can be effectively treated with - CORRECT ANSWER-IV NSAIDs
such as indomethacin
, Raynaud's disease is a - CORRECT ANSWER-Vasospastic disorder typically seen during cold water
Raynaud's disease involves - CORRECT ANSWER-The small arteries and arterioles in the fingers;
occasionally, the toes are also involved
Raynaud's is treated with - CORRECT ANSWER-Dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blockers
(e.g., nifedipine) because they cause peripheral vasodilation
Asthma is - CORRECT ANSWER-An obstructive airway disease associated with airflow
obstruction, mucus production, hyperreactivity of the bronchial tissue, and inflammation
Mild persistent asthma is best treated with - CORRECT ANSWER-A short-acting beta-2 agonist
(SABA) plus an inhaled corticosteroid
Moderate persistent asthma is best treated with - CORRECT ANSWER-An Inhaled low-dose
corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator
Severe persistent asthma is best treated with - CORRECT ANSWER-A long-acting beta-2 agonist
(LABA), plus a high potency inhaled corticosteroid, plus an oral corticosteroid drug
When are inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists (SABA) indicated - CORRECT ANSWER-Are
indicated only for PRN use
Long-acting beta-2 agonists (LABA, e.g., salmeterol) should never be used in - CORRECT
ANSWER-In an acute asthma exacerbation; use a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA, e.g.,
albuterol)
