PHARMACOLOGY NURS 251 MODULE 3 EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS PORTAGE LEARNING 2023/2024 GRADED A+. 2 / 6 1. Blood pressure is: pressure exerted against the walls of blood vessels as bloodcirculates through the body. 2. Blood pressure is measured using an instrument called:sphygmomanome-ter, 3. the first sound heard when listening during BP: Korotkoff sound 4. The Korotkoff sound corresponds to the:systolic value (top number) of thepatient's blood pressure. 5. eventually the sounds disappear, representing that the brachial artery is now completely open.: diastolic value (bottom number) in a patient's blood pres-sure. 6. the persistent systolic blood pressure of greater than 130mm/Hg and/ordiastolic blood pressure greater than 80mm/Hg.: Hypertension 7. Hypertension is often and is also considered : An asymptomatic disease; most common disease state worldwide 8. Normotensive Blood Pressure: 120/80 9. Elevated Blood Pressure: 120-129/80 10. Hypertensive: 130/80 11. Stage 1 hypertension,: 130-139/80-89 12. Stage 2 hypertension: 140/90 13. also known as primary hypertension, is when the cause of the increasedblood pressure is unknown.: Essential hypertension 14. when a patient's elevated blood pressure is caused by another disease.: - Secondary hypertension 15. when a patient experiences a sudden drop in blood pressure when they change positions (i.e. when going from a seated position to standing).: Ortho-static hypotension, 16. Blood Pressure is determined by: cardiac output, blood volume, resistance toflow 17. Cardiac output is determined by two factors:: heart rate (beats per minute)and stroke volume (volume of blood pumped per contraction of the heart). 18. SVR is determined by the: diameter of the blood vessel as well as the muscu-lature nature of the blood vessel. 19. An increase in any of the above factors: will result in a rise in bloodpressure.: heart 3 / 6 rate, stroke volume or SVR 20. Associated factors of blood pressure include::sodium intake, maintaining ahealthy weight, avoiding smoking, proper exercise, and minimizing stress. 21. BP Meds for Cardiac Factors: Heart Rate Contractability: Beta Blockers,Calcium Channel Blockers, and Centrally acting adrenergics 22. BP Meds for Circulating Volume Salt; Aldosterone: ACE Inhibitors, Diuretics 4 / 6 23. Hormones Vasodilators;Vasoconstrictors: Vasodilators ProstaglandinsACE-Inhibitors Calcium Channel Blockers Angiotensin II blockers 24. Peripheral Sympathetic Receptors Gonstrictos; Dilators: Receptors Alphablockers Beta blockers 25. CNS regulation of BP: Centrally Acting Adrenergics 26. Local regulation of BP: Peripherally Acting Adrenergics 27. the resistance generated by the flow of blood through the arteries.: Periph-eral resistance 28. the kidney releases an enzyme called leads to further vasoconstriction,water and sodium retention, and an increase in blood pressure.: renin 29. with high blood pressure there is an increased peripheral resistance whichin turn: decreases the blood supply to the kidney. 30. The goal is the reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mor-tality: antihypertensive therapy 31. cardiovascular risk assessment takes several factors into consideration such as: cardiovascular history, family history, diet, exercise, blood pressure, cho-lesterol, smoking history, presence of diabetes. 32. What ate the four main sites of action for antihypertensives?: Brain, heart,blood vessels, kidney 33. Centrally acting alpha agonist: Clo
