NUR 202 MODULE 5 QUIZ A | COMPREHENSIVE STUDY GUIDE, ATI & NCLEX-STYLE PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2026/2027
Which laboratory value will be most important for the nurse to monitor to determine whether a
client with chest pain has acute coronary syndrome (ACS)?
1. Troponin T (cTnT)
2. C-reactive protein (CRP)
3. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
4. B-type natriuretic protein (BNP) - correct answer ✔✔1
Cardiac troponins are released into circulation within hours after myocardial injury or infarction,
and elevation in troponin levels helps determine that the client is experiencing ACS. The other
three values will also be monitored but are not markers for ACS or acute myocardial infarction.
C-reactive protein is a marker for inflammation and elevated levels can predict cardiac disease.
Elevated LDL is a risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Elevated BNP is
diagnostic for heart failure.
After the nurse teaches a group of women about coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial
infarction (MI), which statement by the women indicates that the teaching has been effective?
1. Unusual fatigue is a common symptom of CAD in women.
2. Women usually have a more rapid recovery than men after MI.
3. Cardiac surgery is generally more successful in women than men.
4. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels increase after menopause. - correct answer ✔✔1
Studies indicate that women who have myocardial infarctions often experience unusual
prodromal fatigue; also, during the prodromal period, women more commonly experience
upper abdominal fullness instigated by exertion or emotional stress. Women report more
disability than men after a cardiac event. Women have higher mortality and more complications
