8. proper cuff size, 2/3 CORRECT ANSWER - accurate BP measurement requires
use of that covers of
upper arm
9. an inch, antecubital space, heat level CORRECT ANSWER - accurate BP measurement --
cutt position -- place cutt

variation is expected/normal -- "average" readings between arms

- elevation increases risk
25. HDL CORRECT ANSWER - - good cholesterol
- transports LDL away from cell wall
- low values increase risk
26. homocysteine CORRECT ANSWER - - amino acid that is inflammatory
- elevated levels increase CVD risk

- blood draw requires a 12-hour fast
27. C-reactive protein (CRP) CORRECT ANSWER - - non-specific indicator of inflammation

- used to monitor the level of anticoagulation with warfarin
31. international normalized ratio (INR) CORRECT ANSWER - - reported with P
- provides standard method for reporting PT
- eliminates the variation of PT results from ditterent labs
- INR (rather than PT alone) is used to monitor the ettectiveness of warfarin
32. troponin
