NURS 3366 Exam 3 Review Questions with Correct Answers (Grade
A+)
Question 1: venous congestion
Answer: when blood settles in the legs and feet rather than circulating properly
Question 2: valve issues
Answer: are the cause of venous insufficiency disorder and a pathology is involved
Question 3: chronic venous insufficiency (CVI)
Answer: leg vein valves wearing out and becoming "floppy"—they don't close tightly during diastole,
allowing backflow into distal veins of legs & feet (venous congestion)
Question 4: venous stasis
Answer: pool of non-moving blood in the veins
Question 5: venous stasis ulcers
Answer: the area becomes so engorged with edema that the skin cells cannot function properly & the tissue
easily breaks down (especially over bony prominences such as heels, ankles, coccyx)
Question 6: deep vein thrombosis
Answer: a clot in the wall of a vein, usually in deep veins in thighs and calves
Question 7: thrombophlebitis
Answer: the vein and entire area around vein can become inflamed & swollen
Question 8: DVT S&S
Answer: SHEP, likely unilateral, can be extreme or can have no S&S
Question 9: Virchow's triad
Answer: ISH - injury to endothelium of vein, stasis of blood flow, hypercoagulability states (ex, dehydration
or individual coagulopathy)

, Question 10: how does dehydration cause hypercoagulability
Answer: dehydration means less water = higher concentration = easier for platelets to find each other and
clot
Question 11: normal bp
Answer: <120/80 but above 90/60
Question 12: preferred bp
Answer: 110/60-115/70
Question 13: arteriosclerosis
Answer: arteries get stiff due to collagen deposits and damage
Question 14: atherosclerosis
Answer: stiff arteries get fat deposits
Question 15: commonalities of arterial disease throughout the body
Answer: bad vasomotor tone and non-patent lumen
Question 16: S&S of decreased perfusion and ischemia (periphery)
Answer: pulse refill skin healing (bad)
Question 17: stroke
Answer: brain doesn't get enough o2 and there's tissue damage
Question 18: risks of arterial disease
Answer: family history, aging, diet/exercise/lifestyle, alcohol consumption, Type II diabetes, smoking
Question 19: nicotene is a powerful...
Answer: ....vasoconstrictor
Question 20: intermittent claudication
Answer: pain in the legs due to PAD, exacerbated by exercise and relieved by rest
