DAANCE test module 2 Questions With
Complete solutions
endocarditis correct answer: inflammation of the endocardium
(the lining of the cavities of the heart and connective tissue bed)
hypertension correct answer: greater then 140/90
diuretics correct answer: an agent that promotes excretion of
urine
digitalis correct answer: a pharmacologic agent used to treat
congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and
paroxysmal tachycardia of the atria
ischemia correct answer: deficiency of blood to a body part due
to functional constriction or obstruction of a blood vessel
p wave correct answer: a wave on ekg that represents
contraction of atria
t wave correct answer: represents repolarization of the
ventricles
qrs complex correct answer: reflects activity that produces
ventricular contraction
ectopic foci correct answer: a displaced central point of origin
for a cardiac dysrhythmia
, supraventricular foci correct answer: central points of origin of
dysthymias, which are located above the level of the ventricles
in the atria
ventricular foci correct answer: a displaced point of origin for a
dysthymia that is in the ventricles
arrest rhythms correct answer: cardiac rhythms in which there is
cardiac arrest. some arrest rhythms such as pulseless ventricular
tachycardia are accompanied by a rhythm display, but there is
no contraction
compensatory pause correct answer: a long beat that
compensates for a shorter beat which contains either an atrial or
ventricular premature contraction
supraventricular tachycardia correct answer: rate of 150-250
BMP, narrow QRS complex
paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia correct answer: sudden
attacks of rapid heartbeats
atrial fibrillation correct answer: irregular and rapid ventricular
rate
atrial flutter correct answer: atrial contractions are regular but
rapid, 200-320 BPM
junctional rhythms correct answer: cardiac dysrhythmia in
which the ectopic pacemaker is in the area of the AV junction
