CCBC NURN155 UPDATED ACTUAL ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Pharmacotherapy for impaired central perfusion - ✔✔Antihypertensives
-The key to these are knowing which ones work for you patients
-Side effects can be very severe
Antiarrhythmics
-Drugs that control the rhythm
Antiaginal agents
-Nitroglycerin, morphine
Vasopressors
-Constrict to bring up blood pressure
Vasodilators
-Dilate to bring down blood pressure and increase perfusion
✔✔impaired local/tissue perfusion - ✔✔anticoagulants
thrombolytics
lipid-lowering agents
vasodilators
antiplatelet agents/platelet inhibitors
✔✔Central Perfusion Collaborative Interventions - ✔✔Pacemaker insertion
Electrical cardioversion
Ablation therapy
Intraaortic balloon pump
Cardiac valve surgery
Cardiac transplant
✔✔medications for perfusion - ✔✔statins
niacins
nitrates
, beta blockers
CA channel blockers
aspirin
oxygen
morphine
antiplatlets
✔✔Local (tissue) perfusion collaborative interventions - ✔✔bypass/graft surgery
stent/angiogram
endarterectomy
✔✔neural regulation - ✔✔Central nervous system controls the respiratory rate, depth,
and rhythm.
Cerebral cortex regulates the voluntary control of respiration.
✔✔Neural motor assessment - ✔✔exam of neural motor functions
musculoskeletal exam and assessing cerebral function
✔✔Cerebellum function - ✔✔coordination of voluntary movements and balance
✔✔Noiceptive pain - ✔✔The most common type of pain. It occurs when pain receptors,
called nociceptors, respond to stimuli that are potentially damaging, (noxious thermal,
chemical, or mechanical stimuli).
Nociceptive pain may occur as a result of trauma, surgery, or inflammation. It is most
commonly described as ACHING. There are two types of nociceptive pain:
■ Visceral pain (pain originating from internal organs)
■ Somatic pain (pain originating from the skin, muscles, bones, or connective tissue).
✔✔neuropathic pain - ✔✔pain that results as a direct consequence of a lesion or
disease affecting abnormal functioning of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) or
central nervous system (CNS)
✔✔acute pain - ✔✔short-term, self-limiting, often predictable trajectory; stops after
injury heals
✔✔chronic pain - ✔✔Persistent or recurring pain that is often difficult to treat. Includes
any pain lasting longer than 3 to 6 months, pain lasting longer than 1 month after
healing of an acute injury, or pain that accompanies a nonhealing tissue injury.
✔✔cancer pain - ✔✔often due to the compression of peripheral nerves or meninges or
from the damage to these structures following surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or
tumor growth and infiltration
