questions with verified answers
patency - correct answer ✔✔ open or unobstructed
arteriosclerosis - correct answer ✔✔ hardening of the arteries
atherosclerosis - correct answer ✔✔ a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the buildup of
fatty substances that harden within the walls of arteries
can break off and cause blood clots
lipid profile - correct answer ✔✔ measures the lipids in the blood
what does a BNP measure - correct answer ✔✔ enzyme released due to stretching of ventricles
indicator of heart failure, normal is < 100
What does C-reactive protein test show - correct answer ✔✔ high CRP indicates inflammation in
the body
what is homocysteine - correct answer ✔✔ Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during
protein digestion. Vitamins breakdown homocysteine and a deficiency can cause elevated
levels. Too much can break down arterial walls and increase risk of blood clots
What does homocysteine measure - correct answer ✔✔ level of breakdown of dietary proteins
, 12-hour fast necessary before test
what is troponin - correct answer ✔✔ a regulatory protein found in the heart muscles that
moves tropomyosin aside & exposes myosin binding sites when Ca+ is released during muscle
contraction
high troponin - correct answer ✔✔ indicates heart damage or MI
troponin is usually in the heart muscles but if there is damage to the heart, troponin leaks into
the bloodstream
nuclear stress test - correct answer ✔✔ assessment of blood flow through the heart through
the use of a nuclear element injection while the patient exercises
nuclear stress test considerations - correct answer ✔✔ check renal function
check for dye allergies
what is an echo - correct answer ✔✔ echocardiography
non invasive
ultrasound of the heart to show its structures
can measure ejection fraction
nursing interventions for echocardiography - correct answer ✔✔ inform patient about the
procedure
tell them it's painless and requires gel
they will have to follow instructions on how to breathe during the procedure
takes about 45 mins
nursing considerations for cardiac catheterization - correct answer ✔✔ -Asses for dye allergy
