disorders Questions With Complete Solutions
A bruit is a whooshing sound of turbulent blood flow heard
through the stethoscope over an artery; what can it indicate?
Correct Answer a bruit may indicate an obstruction, aneurysm,
or arterial malformation.
A circumferential dusky discoloration called stasis dermatitis is
often noted where? Correct Answer around the ankle, instep,
and lower leg.
A common area for a venous ulcer is where? Correct Answer
the ankle area above the medial malleolus.
A common heart murmur heard after left ventricular MI; rupture
of papillary muscle mitral valve leaflets become untethered is
known as what? Correct Answer mitral insufficiency
A murmur may be accompanied by a thrill, what is this?
Correct Answer which is a humming vibration over an area of
the heart that is palpable through the chest wall. At times, a bruit
may accompany a heart murmur.
A patient may describe PND as what? Correct Answer
awakening in the middle of the night because of a night terror.
Acute RF can be a sequela of a previous group A beta hemolytic
streptococcal (GABHS) infection of the upper respiratory tract,
called what? Correct Answer "strep throat."
,Although RF is a childhood disease, when does RHD occur?
Correct Answer RHD does not become evident until adulthood.
Anticoagulation therapy is necessary for life with what? Correct
Answer mechanical valves.
Aortic sclerosis is a common cause of what? Correct Answer
aortic stenosis.
Are D-dimer levels an accurate way to diagnose DVT? Correct
Answer no, D-dimer levels may be elevated in any medical
condition where clots form, so the level is only used to rule out
DVT, not to confirm a diagnosis of DVT.
Are RF/RHD common? Correct Answer no because of
medicines for strep throat
Arteriosclerotic calcification of heart valves caused by aging is
also common. What is arteriosclerotic calcification? Correct
Answer Arteriosclerotic plaque and calcification that occurs
during aging can cause aortic sclerosis and stenosis, which is
assessed as a new aortic murmur.
As a result, after the left ventricle pumps its blood volume into
the aorta, there is backflow of blood into where? Correct
Answer he left ventricle from the incompetent aortic valve.
As left ventricular end-diastolic volume increases, What
happens; heart failure can then develop Correct Answer the left
ventricle become dilated and loses contractile ability
, Chronic venous congestion will lead to what? Correct Answer
edema, waste product accumulation, and impaired healing.
Closure of what valves transmit S1, whereas closure of the what
valves transmit S2. Correct Answer the mitral and tricuspid,
aortic and pulmonic
CVI occurs as a result of damage to where? Correct Answer
valves in the deep veins of the legs.
D-dimer levels remain elevated in DVT and PE for how long?
Correct Answer about 7 days.
Deep Venous Thomboembolism is also called what? Correct
Answer Deep vein thrombophlebitis
Venous thrombosis
Venous thromboembolism
Depending on the condition, the procedure may be performed as
one of which 2 ways? Correct Answer traditional open heart
surgery or a minimally invasive percutaneous surgical
procedure.
Describe grade 1 HM. Correct Answer Grade 1: very faint,
heard only after listener has "tuned in"; may not be heard in all
positions
Describe grade 2 HM. Correct Answer Grade 2: quiet, but
heard immediately after placing the stethoscope on the chest
