ventricular rate of 220 beats/minute
Question 3.
Aortic regurgitation is associated with
Correct Answer: diastolic murmur.
Question 4.
Mitral stenosis is associated with
Correct Answer: a pressure gradient across the mitral valve.
Question 5.
First-degree heart block is characterized by
Correct Answer: prolonged PR interval.
Question 6.
Which blood pressure reading is considered to be indicative of prehypertension according
to the JNC-7 criteria?
Correct Answer: 128/82
Question 7.
Increased preload which patient symptom?
Correct Answer: of the cardiac chambers may lead to Edema
Question 8.
Beta-blockers are advocated in the management of heart failure because they
, Correct Answer: reduce cardiac output.
Question 9.
Hypotension associated lactic shock is because
Correct Answer: with neurogenic and anaphy- peripheral pooling of of blood.
Question 10.
While hospitalized, myocardial infarction of low-density lipoproteins cance of this finding?
Correct Answer: an elderly patient with a history of Increased LDL levels are was
noted to have high levels associated with increased (LDLs). What is the signifi-
risk of coronary artery dis-ease.
Question 11.
Hypertension is closely linked to
Correct Answer: obstructive sleep apnea.
Question 12.
In which stage of shock mL of blood, who supine, but who experiences upon standing?
Correct Answer: is a patient who has lost 1200 Class II, Compensated has normal
blood pressure when Stage orthostatic hypotension
Question 13.
Administration of which therapy is most appropriate for hypovolemic shock?
Correct Answer: Crystalloids
Question 14.
Which finding is indicative in a person with a supine and a heart rate (HR)
Correct Answer: of orthostatic hypotension Sitting BP 88/60, HR 118 blood
pressure (BP) of 110/70 of 100?
Question 15.
A patient is diagnosed with cardiogenic shock. The patient is hyperventilating and is
therefore at risk for the respiratory complication of respiratory acidosis.
Correct Answer: False A patient diagnosed with cardiogenic shock who is
hyperventilating is at risk for respiratory alkalosis.
