- edema present
6. CV physical arterial pulses CORRECT ANSWER - - palpable
- pulse strength
- regularity
- equality
7. CV skin assessment CORRECT ANSWER - - peripheral vascular disease
- cyanosis
- edema
8. proper cuff size, 2/3 CORRECT ANSWER - accurate BP measurement requires
use of that covers of
upper arm
9. an inch, antecubital space, heat level CORRECT ANSWER - accurate BP measurement --
cutt position -- place cutt
above with arm supported at
10. 30, 2-3, second CORRECT ANSWER - accurate BP measurement technique --
inflate mmHg above expected systolic BP, open valve slowly ( mmHg per )
11. 5-10, never CORRECT ANSWER - if BP abnormal, check both arms -- mmHg
variation is expected/normal -- "average" readings between arms
12. daily weights CORRECT ANSWER - the best indicator of fluid balance is comparing
13. 2.2, 1, 2 CORRECT ANSWER - lbs = kg = L of fluid
14. 2nd ICS, right SB CORRECT ANSWER - where is the aortic valve best heard
15. 2nd ICS, left SB CORRECT ANSWER - where is the pulmonic valve best heard
16. 4th ICS, left SB CORRECT ANSWER - where is the tricuspid valve best heard
17. 5th ICS, left MCL CORRECT ANSWER - where is the mitral valve best heard
18. PMI, apical HR CORRECT ANSWER - mitral valve is also called , where we auscultate
19. identify possible CV risk factors CORRECT ANSWER - reason for doing CV
screening labs
20. identify (or rule out) a problem CORRECT ANSWER - reason for doing CV
diagnostic tests
21. lipid profile CORRECT ANSWER - measured to evaluate a person's risk of developing CAD or
to diagnose a specific lipoprotein abnormality
22. cholesterol CORRECT ANSWER - - produced by body and ingested (animal products)
,3|Page
- elevation increases risk
- blood draw requires a 12-hour fast
23. triglycerides CORRECT ANSWER - high levels are inflammatory to vessels
24. LDL CORRECT ANSWER - - bad cholesterol
- deposits into cell walls
- elevation increases risk
25. HDL CORRECT ANSWER - - good cholesterol
- transports LDL away from cell wall
- low values increase risk
26. homocysteine CORRECT ANSWER - - amino acid that is inflammatory
- elevated levels increase CVD risk
- diet low in folate, B6, and B12 is associated with elevation
- blood draw requires a 12-hour fast
27. C-reactive protein (CRP) CORRECT ANSWER - - non-specific indicator of inflammation
- elevated levels may increase risk of CVD
28. coagulation studies CORRECT ANSWER - - assess blood clotting ability
- routinely performed before invasive procedure
29. activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) CORRECT ANSWER - - measures the
activity of the intrinsic pathway
- used to assess the ettects of unfractionated heparin
- less than 50 sec -- increase dose
- more than 100 sec -- decrease dose
30. prothrombin time (PT) CORRECT ANSWER - - measures the extrinsic pathway activity
- used to monitor the level of anticoagulation with warfarin
31. international normalized ratio (INR) CORRECT ANSWER - - reported with P
- provides standard method for reporting PT
- eliminates the variation of PT results from ditterent labs
- INR (rather than PT alone) is used to monitor the ettectiveness of warfarin
32. troponin
creatinine kinase isoenzyme (CKMB)
myoglobin CORRECT ANSWER - - elevation in these indicates heart damage (heart attack)
- leak into interstitial tissue and carried by lymphatic system into general circulations
