NSG120 QUIZ 5 QUESTIONS WITH
REVISED ANSWERS GRADED A+
Buerger's disease - Answer-A condition in which the blood vessels, especially those
supplying the legs, are constricted whenever nicotine enters the bloodstream, the
ultimate result being gangrene and amputation.
primary hypertension risk factors - Answer-heredity, diet, obesity, age, diabetes mellitus,
stress, smoking
primary hypertension - Answer-High blood pressure, the cause of which is unknown;
also known as essential hypertension
force required to eject blood from the ventricles and is determined by the peripheral
resistance to the opening of the semilunar valves. - Answer-afterload
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) - Answer-a condition, often life
threatening, that involves both excessive bleeding and excessive clotting.
Causes: blood transfusion reaction (DIC)
coronary artery disease (CAD) - Answer-a condition affecting arteries of the heart that
reduces the flow of blood and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the myocardium;
most often caused by atherosclerosis
Hemolytic Anemias - Answer-result from excessive destruction of RBCs, or hemolysis,
leading to a low erythrocyte count and low total hemoglobin.
Symptoms:
Severe anemia causes pallor, weakness, tachycardia, and dyspnea
Splenomegaly
Vascular occlusions
correct sequence of blood returning to the heart - Answer-Capillaries, venules, veins,
right atrium
Preload - Answer-refers to the mechanical state of the heart at the end of diastole with
the ventricles at their maximum volume.
, Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) - Answer-Clot formation in the deep, larger veins of
the legs
Treatment: Application of heat, bedrest, elastic support
varicose veins - Answer-abnormally swollen and twisted veins, usually occurring in the
legs, caused by heavy lifting
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) - Answer-a form of venous disease that occurs
when veins in your legs are damaged. As a result, these veins can't manage blood flow
as well as they should, and it's harder for blood in your legs to return to your heart.
repolarization of ventricles - Answer-The electrical activity of the heart is recorded on
the ECG. What does the T wave on the ECG represent?
Hemophilia A - Answer-deficit or abnormality of clotting factor VIII and is the most
common inherited clotting disorder.
Von Willebrand Disease - Answer-This is the most common hereditary blood
clotting/bleeding disorder, a clotting factor that helps platelets clump and stick to the
walls of blood vessels where damage has occurred.
Thrombophilia - Answer-A tendency toward the development of blood clots as a result
of an abnormality of the system of coagulation.
Acquired thrombophilias commonly occur during events such as surgery, injury, or other
medical conditions.
Lymph - Answer-a clear watery fluid that is very similar to blood plasma except that it
contains large numbers of white blood cells, mostly lymphocytes
Reed-Sternberg cell - Answer-The atypical cell used as a marker for diagnosis of
Hodgkin lymphoma, a giant cell present in the lymph node
Multiple Myeloma - Answer-A neoplastic disease of unknown etiology involving the
plasma cells. An increased number of malignant plasma cells replace the bone marrow
and erode the bone
neoplasia - Answer-the new and abnormal development of cells that may be benign or
malignant
Lymphedema - Answer-swelling due to an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid within
the tissues
Elephantiasis - Answer-caused primarily by an infestation and blockage of the lymph
vessels of the extremities by a parasitic worm called filaria
