DAANCE module 2 Questions with Correct Answers (Grade A+)
Question 1: ASA class 1
Answer: Pt with no disturbance
Question 2: ASA class 2
Answer: Pt with mild to moderate systemic disturbance
Question 3: ASA class 3
Answer: Pt with severe systemic disturbance
Question 4: ASA class 4
Answer: Pt with sever life threatening systemic disorder
Question 5: ASA class 5
Answer: Pt is moribund with little chance of survival
Question 6: Ischemia
Answer: Deficiency of blood to a body part due to functional constriction obstruction of a blood vessel
Question 7: Angina pectoris
Answer: Pain in the chest with a feeling of suffocation usually due to a deficiency of blood supply to the
myocardium
Question 8: Myocardial infarction
Answer: Necrosis of tissue of the myocardium resulting from an interruption of the blood supply to the area,
as in coronary thrombosis
Question 9: Rheumatic heart disease
Answer: Damage to the heart, primarily the heart valves, caused by a systemic bacterial infection
Question 10: Mitral valve prolapse
Answer: A valvular heart disorder in which one or both mitral valve flaps close incompletely

, Question 11: Endocarditis
Answer: Inflammation of the myocardium (the lining of the cavities of the heart and connective tissue bed
on which it lies)
Question 12: Hypertension
Answer: Elevated blood pressure. Greater that 140/90
Question 13: Beta blockers
Answer: Medication to decrease the force and rate of contraction of the heart, eg, atenolol. Treats high
blood pressure
Question 14: Vasodilators
Answer: Medications used to reduce the pressure in the vasculature, eg, Norvasc, Lisinopril, Diovan. Treats
high blood pressure
Question 15: Diuretics
Answer: Medications to reduce the volume of fluid in the system (HCTZ, Lasix) promotes excretion of
urine and decrease of blood volume. treats high blood pressure
Question 16: Congestive heart failure
Answer: A clinical syndrome due to heart disease and characterized by breathlessness and abnormal water
and sodium retention, resulting in edema
Question 17: Digitalis
Answer: A pharmacologic agent used to treat congestive heart failure, A fib, atrial flutter and paroxysmal
tachycardia. It increases the force of cardiac contraction
Question 18: Left sided heart failure
Answer: Left side of heart fails to pump blood out into the circulation efficiency, causing blood to back up
to the LUNGS
Question 19: Right sides heart failure
Answer: Right side of the heart fails to pump blood efficiently to the lungs, causing blood to back up in the
peripheral circulation, causing peripheral edema
