NSG 430
NSG 430 - Exam 2
Q1 What does decrease cardiac output lead to
A decreased tissue perfusion, impaired gas exchange, fluid imbalance, and decreased
functional ability
Q2 What is left ventricular ejection fraction
A the percentage of blood pumped out of the left ventricle with next systole
Q3 The most common reason for hospitalization in adults over 65
A heart failure
Q4 Risk factors for HF
A HTN, CAD
Q5 What are the comorbidities that contribute to the development of HF
A diabetes, metabolic syndrome, advanced age, tobacco use, and vascular disease
Q6 Etiology of HF
A any interference with mechanisms regulating cardiac output (preload [fill], afterload
[empty], HR, contractility)
Q7 Precipitating causes of HF
A conditions that increase workload of the heart (reduced cardiac output)
Q8 Left side HF is the inability to
A empty adequately during systole or fill adequate during diastole

Q9 Where does the blood go during left sided HF
A backs up into the left atrium
Q10 Left sided HF causes
A pulmonary congestion and edema, decrease in left ventricle ejection factor
Q11 Right sided HF is when the
A RV does not pump effectively
Q12 Where does the blood go on right sided HF
A backs up into the venous system, the fluid moves into the tissues and organs
Q13 What is the most common cause of right sided HF
A left sided HF
Q14 Compensated HF occurs when
A compensatory mechanisms succeed in maintaining an adequate CO that is needed for tissue
perfusion
Q15 Decompensated HF occurs when
A these mechanisms can no longer maintain adequate CO and inadequate tissue perfusion
results
Q16 Remodeling is
A change in the structure of the heat caused by continuous activation of neuor-hormonal
responses, hypertrophy of ventricular myocytes , ventricles become larger by less effective
Q17 Remodeling can cause
A life threatening dysrhythmias and sudden cardiac death
Q18 Natriuretic peptides are released
