NURS 320 FINAL EXAM | 207 ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+ | NEW UPDATE 2025
cell death - ANSWER what will happen with out perfusion
perfusion - ANSWER refers to the flow of blood through arteries and
capillaries, delivering nutrients and oxygen to cells
central perfusion - ANSWER requires adequate cardiac function, blood
pressure, and blood volume
depends on how adequately the heart pumps
local perfusion - ANSWER volume of blood that flows to target tissue
usually a problem with the vessels
ischemia and cell death - ANSWER impaired local perfusion resulting in
impaired blood flow to affected area (such as hands and feet) will ultimately result
in what
Atherosclerosis - ANSWER plaque build up
narrows lumen of the blood vessel, interfering with blood flow
major cause is coronary artery disease
can be corrected
waxy cholesterol is deposited in the arteries
,arteriosclerosis - ANSWER thickening and loss of elasticity and hardening of
the arterial walls
aging process issue
vessels lose ability to be elastic
change in BP, HR, respiratory symptoms
if more severe = shock - ANSWER central perfusion is reduced cardiac output,
which results in systemic effects like
afterload - ANSWER beta blockers & ACE inhibitors decrease what
modifiable risk factors of perfusion - ANSWER obesity, high BP, diabetes, high
cholesterol, smoking, psychological factors
nonmodifiable risk factors of perfusion - ANSWER ethnicity, gender, age,
family history
peripheral / tissue / local - ANSWER what perfusion is the ABI (ankle brachial
index) diagnostic test done for
heart attack - ANSWER creatine Kinase (CK) is diagnostic for
heart attack - ANSWER a rise in troponin is indicative of
levels of troponin correlate with the level of injury
,more severe = higher troponin
rheumatoid arthritis - ANSWER what disease will show high levels of HCRP
high - ANSWER we want our HDL cholesterol ___
low - ANSWER we want out LDL cholesterol ___
40-60 mg/dl - ANSWER normal HDL cholesterol levels
< 100 - ANSWER normal LDL cholesterol levels
holter monitoring - ANSWER pt complains of periods of racing heart, pt carries
around an EKG box for 24-48 hours
no showers
patient needs to keep a log
exercise stress test - ANSWER ordered with one another
wear good shoes
no smoking prior to test
no caffeine
light meal or NPO for 2-3 hours prior to test
, cardiac catherization - ANSWER catheter up a vessel, threaded up into the
heart
contrast through coronary arteries to check for blockages
looking for the cause of chest pain
for children we do this for heart defects
usually placed in the group area
can also use vessels in the arm as well
may go up with a catheter that has a ballon on the end of it to blow it up inside
the vessel
cardiac catheterization - ANSWER tips for _____ :
check for iodine allergy
patient is premedicated
before we let them go, we need to check the pulse
sedate kids more than adults
will feel a warm sensation
check pedal pulses every 15 minutes
cant get a pulse, use the doppler
may use a sandbag over site as well to hold pressure over dressing
when they come back need to give a lot of fluids to flush out the dye
dash diet - ANSWER increase fruit, vegetables, and low fat dairy
peripheral perfusion - ANSWER #1 cause is plaque build up
poor oxygenation
