N444 Cardiac Structures and
Infectious Diseases Exam
Questions and Answers 100%
PASS
mitral stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER-narrowing of mitral valve; reduction of
blood flowing from LA to LV
poor left ventricular filling, leading to decreased CO; right ventricular strain and
hypertrophy - CORRECT ANSWER-what does mitral stenosis lead to?
dyspnea on exertion, fatigue, decreased exercise tolerance, pulmonary symptoms,
dysrythmias/palpitations - CORRECT ANSWER-manifestations of mitral stenosis
diastolic murmur at apex - CORRECT ANSWER-what type of murmur is heard
with mitral stenosis?
aortic stenosis - CORRECT ANSWER-progressive narrowing of orifice between
left ventricle and aorta
hypertrophy of left ventricle - CORRECT ANSWER-what does aortic stenosis
result in?
, dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea/PND, pulmonary edema, dizziness/syncope,
angina pectoris, hypotension - CORRECT ANSWER-manifestations of aortic
stenosis
high-pitched murmur that fluctuates in intensity - CORRECT ANSWER-what
type of murmur is associated with aortic stenosis?
it's a vasodilator: will reduce preload, which can worsen symptoms in clients with
aortic stenosis by causing profound hypotension and decreasing coronary
perfusion - CORRECT ANSWER-why do we avoid nitroglycerin in aortic
stenosis?
lack of blood flow and oxygen to heart and coronary arteries - CORRECT
ANSWER-why does angina pectoris occur in aortic stenosis?
rest - CORRECT ANSWER-what do we tell clients with angina pectoris to do
FIRST instead of just taking nitroglycerin?
diuretics/furosemide for afterload reduction, CCB (amlodopine), anticoagulant
therapy (warfarin), Beta blockers (propanolol, metoprolol), digoxin (glycoside,
helps reduce arrythmia and strengthen contractility) - CORRECT ANSWER-what
are medications used to treat aortic stenosis?
repair, replacement - CORRECT ANSWER-what surgeries are done for aortic
stenosis?
