1. If a patient with hypertension is prescribed a calcium channel blocker, what
physiological changes can be expected in their cardiovascular system?
Vasodilation and reduced heart contractility
Increased vascular resistance and heart rate
Decreased blood flow to the kidneys
Increased calcium influx and heart contractility
2. Describe the primary characteristics of Granulomatosis with polyangiitis and
its impact on the body.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is an autoimmune disorder that only
affects the skin.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a type of cancer affecting the
lungs.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis primarily affects large blood vessels
and does not involve the respiratory system.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a vasculitis affecting small to
medium-sized blood vessels, leading to respiratory tract
involvement and kidney damage.
3. Describe the mechanism by which ACE inhibitors contribute to lowering
blood pressure.
ACE inhibitors increase blood pressure by promoting
vasoconstriction.
ACE inhibitors work by increasing the production of angiotensin I.
, ACE inhibitors enhance the reabsorption of water in the kidneys.
ACE inhibitors lower blood pressure by preventing the formation of
angiotensin II, which causes vasodilation and decreases blood
volume.
4. Which of the following are classes of medications that might be used to treat
cardiac arrhythmias?
Beta blockers
Sodium channel blockers
All of these can be used to treat arrhythmias
Calcium channel blockers
5. What is a simple non-invasive test can a nurse perform to specifically assess
for peripheral arterial disease?
An ankle-brachial index, (ABI), which is the ratio of the systolic
blood pressure in the ankle to the systolic blood pressure in the
arm.
An ankle-brachial index, (ABI), which is the ratio of the radial pulses to
the posterior tibial pulse.
A palpation of the patient's peripheral pulses
An Allen's Test
6. Which tumor is specifically identified as having a poor prognosis in the
document?
Glioblastoma multiforme
Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Lung cancer
,7. Which specific arteries are most commonly impacted by Thromboangiitis
Obliterans?
The coronary and pulmonary arteries.
The carotid and femoral arteries.
The tibial and radial arteries.
The aorta and subclavian arteries.
8. What organ is most commonly involved in Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN)?
heart
stomach
muscle
kidney
lungs
9. Discuss how cigarette smoking contributes to the development of
Thromboangiitis Obliterans.
Cigarette smoking primarily affects lung function, not vascular
diseases.
Cigarette smoking has no effect on vascular health.
Cigarette smoking is known to cause vascular inflammation and
damage, which can lead to Thromboangiitis Obliterans.
Cigarette smoking improves blood circulation, reducing the risk of
Thromboangiitis Obliterans.
10. Wegener's granulomatosis is diagnosed by:
P-ANCA
, 1.N.A
c-ANCA
m-ANCA
11. Describe the role of vascular imaging in the diagnosis of Takayasu's arteritis.
Vascular imaging is primarily for assessing heart function.
Vascular imaging is crucial for visualizing the blood vessels affected
by Takayasu's arteritis.
Vascular imaging is used to measure blood pressure.
Vascular imaging helps in identifying cancerous tumors.
12. What condition is associated with leukocytes in the urine?
Glycosuria
Hematuria
Albuminura
Pyuria
Acetonuria
13. If a patient presents with symptoms suggestive of cancer, which combination
of diagnostic tools would be most effective for initial evaluation?
Biopsies and physical examinations
Imaging studies and biopsies
Only imaging studies
Only blood tests
14. What is a significant lifestyle risk factor for Thromboangiitis Obliterans?
