NRSG 2500 Unit 9-10 Questions With Complete Solutions
Abdominal aortic aneurysm Correct Answer trauma, disease,
atherosclerosis are common causes; abdominal mass, no pain,
heart beat in stomach; management depends on size and extent
involved, control blood pressure; watch for impending rupture,
severe back or abdominal pain
ACS atypical manifestations in elderly patients Correct Answer
jaw pain, fainting, no pain
ACS atypical manifestations in females Correct Answer chest
discomfort during sleep/rest, discomfort in neck, back, arm,
shoulder, jaw or throat, nausea and vomiting, indigestion, upper
abdominal pain, dyspnea, fatigue, diaphoresis, dizziness,
fainting
ACS atypical manifestations in patients with diabetes Correct
Answer may not experience any pain or discomfort
ACS signs and symptoms Correct Answer chest pain, SOB,
dyspnea, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, cool pale moist
skin, diaphoresis, increased HR, increased respiratory rate
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) or MI Correct Answer
emergent situation; acute onset of myocardial ischemia that
result in myocardial death if intervention are not done; unstable
MI, non ST segment elevation, ST segment elevation; reduced
blood flow in coronary artery, rupture atherosclerotic plaque,
occlusion of artery (clot)
, Afterload Correct Answer the pressure that a ventricle has to
pump against
Cardiac output Correct Answer amount of blood pumped by
ventricle in liters per minute; SVxHR=CO
Cardiac output Correct Answer amount of blood pumped in 1
minute
Cardiac Surgery Correct Answer epicardial pacing wires, PA
catheter, chest tubes- not to drain >200ml/hr, JP drains, leg
wounds, ventilator-usually extubate 2-4 hours; ambulation-that
evening; discharge-5 days
Cardiac Tamponade Correct Answer advanced HF-
accumulation of fluid, pericarditis, carcinoma, cardiac surgery,
trauma; Becks Triad-JVD, muffled heart sounds, pulsus
paradoxus: expiration SBP >10mmHG high than inspiration
SBP; Diagnostic: Echo, CXR; pericardiocentesis,
pericardiotomy-window; stay with patient and monitor for
clinical manifestations of further tamponade or decreased CO,
JVD, dyspnea, edeam, VS changes, pulsus paradoxux
Cardiogenic shock Correct Answer a life-threatening
condition with a high mortality rate; decreased CO leads to
inadequate tissue perfusion and initiation of shock syndrome;
Clinical manifestations: symptoms of heart failure; shock state,
mental status changes, and hypoxia
Care of the patient with heart failure-assessment Correct
Answer health history, sleep and activity, knowledge and
