Coronary Artery Disease
(CAD)questions with 100% correct
answers
T/F CAD is number 1 cause of death in US - correct answer ✔✔yes
Angina Pectoris - correct answer ✔✔is a warning sign of myocardial infarction (MI)
Coronary Artery Disease - correct answer ✔✔- Prevention of CAD in order to prevent MI
C-reactive protein - correct answer ✔✔Diagnosis of CAD
serum protein associated with inflammatory process. Elevated level of this protein indicate CAD
Myocardial Infarction - correct answer ✔✔- death of cardiac tissue due to lack of perfusion of
oxygenated blood to cardiac muscle (myocardium)
What is incidence? - correct answer ✔✔is a measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's
probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time. Therefore, incidence is the
number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease.
incidence rate - correct answer ✔✔- is the number of new cases of a disease divided by the number of
persons at risk for the disease.
- EX: If, over the course of one year, five women are diagnosed with breast cancer, out of a total female
study population of 200 (who do not have breast cancer at the beginning of the study period), then we
would say the incidence of breast cancer in this population was 0.025. (or 2,500 per 100,000 women-
years of study)
What is prevalence? - correct answer ✔✔is a measure of disease that allows us to determine a person's
likelihood of having a disease. Therefore, the number of prevalent cases is the total number of cases of
disease existing in a population.
, prevalence rate - correct answer ✔✔- rate is the total number of cases of a disease existing in a
population divided by the total population.
- EX: So, if a measurement of cancer is taken in a population of 40,000 people and 1,200 were recently
diagnosed with cancer and 3,500 are living with cancer, then the prevalence of cancer is 0.118. (or
11,750 per 100,000 persons)
Chronic Ischemic Heart Disease - correct answer ✔✔- Stable angina
- Vasospastic angina
- Silent myocardial ischemia
Acute Coronary Syndrome - correct answer ✔✔- Unstable angina
-Myocardial infarction
Highest incidence of CAD? - correct answer ✔✔Caucasian
Factors Influencing
Cardiovascular Function - correct answer ✔✔- Cardiac output
- Stroke volume
- Heart rate -chronotropic
- Contractility -inotropic
- Preload -left ventricular end diastolic volume
- Stretch of myocardium
- Afterload-resistance against which the heart muscle must pump
What are some nursing Assessment of Indicators of Cardiac Output - correct answer ✔✔BP
Heart rate
Peripheral pulses
Lung sounds
