significant: - Answer ECG changes
Chronic stable angina, associated with inadequate blood flow to meet the metabolic demands
of the myocardium, is caused by: - Answer Fixed coronary obstruction

pressure by adjusting the cardiac output to compensate for changes in which of the following
physiologic processes? - Answer Peripheral vascular resistance
The client is immobilized following a hip injury and has begun demonstrating lower leg
discoloration with edema, pain, tenderness, and increased warmth in the midcalf area. He has
many of the manifestations of: - Answer Deep vein thrombosis
A postsurgical client reports calf pain combined with the emergence of swelling and redness in
