CCI RCS Mock Practice Test 1 Exam With 100% Correct Answers 2023 Hypertension this condition is determined only if the patient has had elevated blood pressure readings over a significant period and under varied conditions atherosclerosis the buildup of plaque in the arteries Systolic blood pressure a measure of the amount of pressure that blood presses against the arteries and vessels as the ventricles of the heart contract Diastolic blood pressure a measure of the same pressure when the heart is relaxed Diuretics also known as "water pills", stop kidneys from reabsorbing water and electrolytes, and increased water loss lowers the blood volume, which lowers the blood pressure Beta blockers are beta receptor antagonists that act on the beta receptors in the heart, causes decreased heart rate and cardiac output and lowers the blood pressure, medications end with suffix -lol Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors decrease the fluid volume and also cause peripheral vasodilation resulting in lower blood pressure, medications end with suffix - pril Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) Lower blood pressure by blocking the angiotensin II enzyme from causing vasoconstriction, medications end with suffix -sartan Calcium channel blockers hinder the calcium ion influx in the vascular smooth muscle of the heart, resulting in heart muscle relaxation decreasing blood pressure, medications end with suffix -pine Vasodilators work by directly dilating the blood vessels to produce rapid and significant reduction in blood pressure, all Nitro-medications are vasodilators Congestive heart failure (CHF) happens when the heart can't pump blood efficiently to deliver an adequate supply of blood to the metabolizing tissues, usually because of water and sodium retention Hyperlipidemia (or high cholesterol) is the increase in circulating concentration of cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, or phospholipids Cholesterol is classified as steroid-based and is a primary component of the cell membrane LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) one of the two main types of cholesterol, which is also known as "bad cholesterol" HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) one of the two main types of cholesterol, which is also known as "good cholesterol" HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors also called statins, are the mainstay of treating hyperlipidemia, and inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, thus decreasing the cholesterol production and reduction of LDL levels Coronary artery disease (CAD) also known as atherosclerosis, is a condition in which plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries myocardial infarction (MI) heart attack thrombus blood clot Dysrhythmia a commonly used term to define disorganized or abnormal heart rhythm What is the formula for Wavelength? Wavelength (λ) = velocity / frequency What is the formula for Pressure? Force (N) / Area (m^2) What is the formula for Speed? Displacement (m) / Time (s) What is the formula for Velocity? Distance (m) / Time (s) What is the formula for Acceleration? Velocity change (m/s) / Time (s) What is the formula for Density? Mass (kg) / Volume (m^3) What is the formula for Stiffness? Pressure (N/m
