NURS5315 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS
WITH 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
Left atrial, pulmonary, pulmonary - Answer-Increase in LVEDP in HFpEF increases the
(chamber) pressure and causes an increase in the pressure in
the circulation leading to edema.
Normal, decreased - Answer-The contractility of the heart is in HFpEF
with filling of the ventricles.
Left-Sided HF - Answer-synonymous with HFrEF
Right-Sided HF - Answer-Right ventricle is unable to adequately pump blood forward to
the pulmonary circulation
Left-sided HF - Answer-most common cause of right sided HF due to increased work
load on right ventricle r/t pulmonary back flow
Right-sided HF - Answer-dependent edema; jugular vein distention; enlarged liver &
spleen; fluid retention, right atrial hypertrophy
Right-sided HF - Answer-May be caused by RV MI, cardiomyopathies, or pulmonic
valvular disease
Pulmonary edema, pulmonary - Answer-Ultimately, a person with HFrEF will experience
secondary to the back of blood and high pressures
into the circulation
Pulmonary edema - Answer-Clinical manifestations include dyspneea, orthopnea,
cough with frothy sputum, fatigue, decreased urine output, and edema.
Pulmonary edema - Answer-In assessment you will observe cyanosis, pulmonary rales,
pleural effusions, and an S3 gallop. Hypotension or HTN may be seen.
HFpEF - Answer-EF is normal, stroke volume is normal, cardiac output is normal but
there is pulmonary congestion
HFpEF - Answer-Most commonly caused by HTN-induced hypertrophy or myocardial
ischemia which result in remodeling
HFpEF - Answer-Results from the inability of the myocytes to actively pump calcium
from the cytosol which impairs ventricular relaxation (diastole)
,Afib - Answer-most common arrhythmia
Anticoagulants - Answer-Prescribed to afib patients due to high risk of stroke
cardiovascular, MI, pericardial, hyper, low - Answer-The onset of Afib may be triggered
by surgery, acute , thyrotoxicosis,
disease, thyroidism, pulmonary pathologies, magnesium, and caffeine
intake.
Rapid Ventricular Response - Answer-RVR
300 - Answer-Atrial rate is typically > bpm in Afib
Ventricular - Answer-Response that is important to observe in patients with Afib
Controlled Afib - Answer-Afib with absence of RVR
Reduced cardiac output - Answer-Reason for dyspnea, dizziness, and fatigue in afib
P waves - Answer-Afib EKG wil show a rapid, irregular rhythm without
.
Left and Right - Answer-Two main coronary arteries that branch off of the aorta
Left anterior descending artery, left marginal artery, left circumflex artery - Answer-Left
coronary artery branches off into these 3 arteries
Right coronary artery, right marginal artery, posterior descending artery (Interventricular
Artery) - Answer-Right coronary artery branches off into these 3 arteries
Left anterior descending artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the anterior 2/3rds of the
interventricular septum, anterior papillary muscles, and the anterior surface of the left
ventricle
Left Marginal Artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the anterior side of the left ventricle
obtuse marginal artery - Answer-aka Left marginal artery
Left Circumflex Artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the lateral and posterior walls of the
left ventricle and the left atrium
Right Coronary Artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the SA and AV nodes in the right
atrium and both ventricles, however it supplies more blood to the right atrium.
, right marginal artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the anterior and posterior portions of
the right ventricle.
posterior descending artery - Answer-Supplies blood to the posterior 1/3 of the
interventricular septum, the posterior wall of both ventricles, and the posteromedial
papillary muscles.
Right, right - Answer-The majority of persons are dominant in arterial blood
supply due to the posterior descending artery arising form the coronary artery
Left Anterior descending - Answer-Coronary artery occlusion most commonly occurs in
the artery.
Left atrium - Answer-the most posterior portion of the heart. When enlarged it can cause
dysphagia r/t esophageal compression or hoarseness r/t laryngeal nerve compression
Atherosclerosis - Answer-Cause of coronary artery disease
LDLs - Answer-Increase in is associated with an increased risk of developing
CAD due to its key role in the development of atherosclerosis
Catecholamines - Answer-Nicotine causes the release of
which cause vasoconstriction and HTN.
Nitric - Answer-Diabetes Mellitus causes a decreased production of
acid, a vasodilating agent
hs-CRP - Answer-high-sensitivity C-reactive protein
hs-CRP - Answer- is a marker of inflammation. Elevation in this lab is
associated with a higher frisk for CAD.
leptin, adiponectin - Answer-Hormones released by fat cells
Increased, decrease - Answer- leptin levels are associated with
autoimmunity and endothelial angiogenesis.
Decreased, incressed - Answer- levels of Adiponectin are associated with
cardiovascular risk.
Adiponectin - Answer-a protein produced by adipose cells that inhibits inflammation and
protects against insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
Lumen, ischemia - Answer-Ultimately, CAD will cause narrowing and
may cause acute .
