NSE 103 EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS
Whats the normal stroke volume for adults and new borns - - 30-80ml adults
- 5 ml for new born
What are the 5 factors that influence blood pressure? - 1. cardiac output - blood come
out through the ventricles heart, increases due to increase pulse heart (CO=SVxRH)
2. blood viscosity
3. vessel walls elasticity
4. peripheral vascular resistance(opposition of blood flow)
5. volume of circulating blood(higher volume high it clugs in the veins(slow?))
during pregnancy what happens to blood pressure? - - During pregnancy: It decreases
about halfway through the first trimester until mid-pregnancy due to progesterone
effects that relax the walls of blood vessels, causing decreased peripheral vascular
resistance. It returns to pre-pregnancy values toward the end of pregnancy.
What happens to female and males blood pressure after puberty? - male - increase
female - decreases
What happens to female and males blood pressure after menopausal? - male -
decreases
female - increases
The thigh systolic pressure is _______ higher than arm systolic - 10-40mmHg
Auscultatory gap - a silent interval when the Korotkoff sounds go absent and then
reappear while you are deflating the cuff.
Hypotension - - low blood pressure, considered less than 95/60 mm Hg in a
normotensive adult, check baseline
- symptoms associated with hypotension are lightheadedness, loss of consciousness,
blurry vision, clammy skin, and fatigue.
- autonomic failure
Orthostatic hypotension - is a drop in blood pressure when the client moves from lying
to sitting to a standing position. (when blood is not getting in our brain to give oxygen,
dehydration)
, Hypertension - high blood pressure, 140/90 mmHg, silent disorder, so hypertensive
clients may not recognize the seriousness of their condition and not adhere to their
treatment plan. The result is often a heart attack or stroke, peripheral arterial disease,
chronic kidney disease.
What are modifiable for hypertension? - - smoking
- alcohol intake
- medication/eating habits
- sedentary lifestyle
- anxiety/stress
What are nonmodifiable for hypertension? - - family history of cardiovascular disease
- make sex
- age 55 and older
- postmenopausal females
Hypertension can lead to - stroke, heart attack, chronic kidney disease, peripheral
arterial disease
White coat syndrome - elevated blood pressure due to nervousness/anxiety when one
has their blood pressure taken by HCP
- when the bp result is higher in the healthcare setting than at home, the anxiety being
around doctors make pulse go up so blood pressure rises
Anthropometric body measurements assessments include - - weight, height, body size,
bmi,
- not a diagnostic tool
How to calculate BMI - BMI = weight/height
What are the different types of pain? - acute, chronic, nociceptive, neuropathic,
nicoplastic, idiopathic, referred
Acute pain - - short duration that is caused by something specific
- last for 3-6 months
- bee sting, menstrual pain, operative and postoperative pain, sprain ankle, labour pain,
headache
- changes vital signs: tachycardia, elevated temp
Chronic pain - - an on-and-off pain that lasts for more than 3-6 months
- back pain, migraine, cancer-related, arthritic
- fibromyalgia(discomfort to rest of the body and even causes fatigue)
- secondary pain due to medications or other factors
fibromyalgia - a chronic pain that causes pain and discomfort to the rest of the body that
makes it fatigue
