NUR3310 - Overall Review Questions With Complete
Solutions
3 examples of life threatening cardiac arrhythmias Correct
Answers - ventricular tachycardia (VT)
- ventricular fibrillation (VF)
- asystole
3 goals of management of CKD Correct Answers 1. preserve
existing kidney function
2. slow progression by detecting and treating reversible causes
3. reduce risk of cardiovascular disease
3 major causes of upper GI bleeding Correct Answers 1.
oesophageal varices
2. oesophagitis (e.g. GORD)
3. ulcerations (e.g. gastric ulcers)
3 states that need to be present for DKA to be diagnosed Correct
Answers 1. hyperglycaemia
2. ketosis
3. acidosis
4 causes of APO (cardiogenic) Correct Answers 1. heart failure
2. AMI
3. acute arrhythmia
4. acute valvular dysfunction
4 causes of pancreatitis Correct Answers 1. gallstones
2. chronic alcohol consumption
3. biliary tract disease
,4. infection
axial intracranial bleeding example Correct Answers
intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH)
occurs within brain tissues
brief explain GFR Correct Answers measures the kidney
function and determines the stage of kidney damage
- how much blood passes through glomerular filtration in each
minute
Cardiogenic shock Correct Answers Caused by inadequate
filling of the heart or pump failure results in reduced cardiac
output
cascade event of intracranial bleeding Correct Answers
haematoma formation and injury to the brain leads to cerebral
oedema and ischaemia, causing vasodilation and increased blood
flow to compensate for damaged tissue. the increased blood flow
and volume increased results in raised ICP, if left untreated,
death can occur
cause of neurogenic shock Correct Answers spinal cord injury
causes of cardiogenic shock (4) Correct Answers - reduced
contractility
- inadequate filling
- arrhythmia
- AMI
, Causes of DKA (4) Correct Answers 1. imbalance in insulin
and glucose
2. stress
3. infection
4. AMI
causes of liver cirrhosis (2) Correct Answers 1. excessive
alcohol consumption
2. prolonged viral attack (Hep B/ Hep C)
characteristics of anaphylactic shock Correct Answers - massive
vasodilation
- bronchospasm
- increase capillary permeability
CKD is a result of decreased GFR for how many months?
Correct Answers 3 months
clinical manifestations of acute pancreatitis (4) Correct Answers
- abdominal pain
- N+V
- low-grade fever
- leukocytosis (increased #WBC)
- hypotension
- tachycardia
- jaundice
- decreased or absent bowel tones
clinical manifestations of anaphylactic shock (4) Correct
Answers - severe hypotension
- flushing
