N308 HTN (Exam 2) questions with correct answers
CVD Correct Answer-HTN is a major risk for
MI, HF, CVA, and CKD Correct Answer-hypertension increases risk for
what four things?
chronic kidney disease Correct Answer-what does CKD stand for?
cerebrovascular accident Correct Answer-what does CVA stand for?
myocardial infarction Correct Answer-what does MI stand for?
HTN Correct Answer-what is commonly known as the "silent killer"?
1 in 3 Correct Answer-HTN is a problem for nearly ______ in _______
adults
increases the afterload, which increases the workload of the heart
Correct Answer-how does hypertension affect the heart?
HTN Correct Answer-HP2020 lists what cardiovascular condition as a
high priority health indicator?
,the force exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels Correct Answer-
what is blood pressure?
hyperosmolar fluids pulls fluids into blood vessels, increasing BP
Correct Answer-what is oncotic pressure and how does it affect blood
pressure?
increases vasodilation and capillary permeability, causing hypotension
Correct Answer-how does infection/inflammation affect blood pressure?
it reflects the pressure in the arteries perfusing to the organs Correct
Answer-why is MAP a better indicator of organ/tissue perfusion than
systolic blood pressure?
hypertensive emergencies to guide/evaluate drug therapy Correct
Answer-when is MAP used?
within seconds Correct Answer-how quickly does the nervous system
respond to changes in BP?
substances released by the vascular endothelium to either promote
vasodilation or vasoconstriction Correct Answer-what are endothelium-
derived substances and how do they affect BP?
aldosterone
natriuretic paptides
, ADH Correct Answer-what are three hormones that can affect sodium
and water retention/excretion?
renin is released by the kidneys in response to poor kidney perfusion,
which converts angiotensinogen to angiotensin I; angiotensin converting
enzyme (ACE) converts A1 to A2, which constricts blood vessels and
tells the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone, which promotes sodium
and water retention Correct Answer-how does the RAAS work?
angiotensin-converting enzyme Correct Answer-what does ACE stand
for?
prostaglandins Correct Answer-what can the renal medulla release to
promote vasodilation?
promotes natriuresis and diuresis Correct Answer-how do natriuretic
peptides work?
ADH and aldosterone Correct Answer-natriuretic peptides antagonize
what two hormones?
excretion of sodium in the urine Correct Answer-what is natriuresis?
increased production of urine, reducing circulating blood volume
Correct Answer-what is diuresis?
