ADULT HEALTH II 2026 COMPREHENSIVE TEST
PAPER QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
◉ What is Atherosclerosis. Answer: major cause of CAD - lipids
within the artery. C-reactive protein is produced by the liver and is a
nonspecific marker of inflammation and can be increased in patients
with CAD.
◉ Define Hypertension. Answer: a persistent systolic BP (SBP) ≥140
mm Hg, diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90 mm Hg, or current use of
antihypertensive drug.
◉ Define prehypertension. Answer: Systolic BP: 120 to 139 mm Hg
Diastolic BP: 80 to 89 mm Hg
◉ What is Primary (essential or idiopathic) hypertension. Answer: is
an elevated BP without an identified cause, and it accounts for 90%
to 95% of all cases of hypertension.
◉ What are some contributing factors for hypertension. Answer:
increased SNS activity, overproduction of sodium-retaining
hormones and vasoconstricting substances, increased sodium
intake, greater than ideal body weight, diabetes mellitus, tobacco
use, and excessive alcohol consumption
,◉ What are the risk factors for primary hypertension. Answer: Age,
Alcohol, Tobacco use, Diabetes mellitus, Elevated serum lipids
,Excess dietary sodium, Gender, obesity, sedentary lifestyle
◉ What are the clinical manifestation of hypertension. Answer:
Fatigue, Dizziness, Palpitations, Angina, Dyspnea
◉ What are some complication of Hypertension. Answer: are target
organ diseases occurring in the heart (hypertensive heart disease),
brain (cerebrovascular disease), peripheral vessels (peripheral
vascular disease), kidneys (nephrosclerosis), and eyes (retinal
damage).
◉ What are some Collaborative Care for hypertension. Answer:
Control blood pressure
Reduce CVD risk factors and target organ disease
Lifestyle modifications, directed toward reducing the patient's BP
and overall cardiovascular risk, are indicated for all patients with
prehypertension and hypertension.
◉ What drug therapy and patient teaching can you do. Answer:
Follow-up care
Identify, report, and minimize side effects
Orthostatic hypotension
, Sexual dysfunction
Dry mouth
Frequent urination
Time of day to take drug
◉ What are some nursing Nursing Implementation. Answer:
Primary prevention via lifestyle modification
Individual patient evaluation and education
Screening programs
Cardiovascular risk factor modification
◉ Coronary artery disease (CAD). Answer: is the most common type
of cardiovascular disease and accounts for the majority of these
deaths.
◉ What is atherosclerosis. Answer: comes from two Greek words:
athere, meaning "fatty mush," and skleros, meaning "hard." This
combination indicates that atherosclerosis begins as soft deposits of
fat that harden with age.
◉ C-reactive protein (CRP),. Answer: a protein produced by the liver,
is a nonspecific marker of inflammation. Chronic elevations of CRP
are associated with unstable plaques and the oxidation of low-
