INPA (Disease) UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT Answers
1. Examples of car- Hypertension
diovascular dis- Congestive Heart Failure
ease? Myocardial Infarction
Atherosclerosis
Arrhythmias
2. Hypertension High blood pressure which can lead to complications like stroke, heart disease,
and kidney failure
3. CHF Congestive Heart Failure
The heart is unable to pump blood ettectively, leading to fluid buildup and de-
creased organ function.
4. In CHF what hap- Left side leads to pulmonary congestion (because the left ventricle fails to pump
pens to the left blood ettectively, causing fluid to back up into the lungs)
and right side of
the body? Right side causes peripheral edema (because the right ventricle cannot pump
blood eflciently to the lungs,causing blood to back up into the systemic circulation)
5. Sign & Symptoms Sign & Symptoms: Dyspnea, Fatigue, Edema, Orthopnea
and Risk Factors
of CHF Risk Factors: Hypertension, Coronary Arterie disease, Diabetes, Obesity, Smoking
6. Medication for Diuretics (Furosemide)
CHF ? ACE inhibitors (Lisinopril) ending in "pril"
Beta blockers (Metoprolol) ending in "olol"
7. Myocardial In- A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked
farction (MI)
8. Atherosclerosis Hardening of the arteries due to a plaque build up, leading to a restricted blood
flow
, 9. What drug pre- Statins: reduce cholesterol levels in the blood by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA
vents Atheroscle- reductase, which is involved in cholesterol synthesis. By lowering cholesterol levels
rosis ?
10. What helps pre- Antiplatelet Agents: prevent blood clot formation by inhibiting platelet aggregation,
vents myocardial reducing the risk of thrombotic events
infarction and
stroke?
11. Arrhythmias abnormal heart rhythms, which can be life threatening
12. What are exam- COPD
ples of respirato- Asthma
ry disease? Pneumonia
Pulmonary Embolism
13. COPD Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
a group of lung disease that causes airflow obstruction and breathing diflculty
14. Sign & Symptoms Sign & Symptoms: Chronic Cough, sputum production, dyspnea, wheezing
and Risk Factors
of COPD Risk Factor: Smoking, Air pollution, genetic factors
15. Medication for Bronchodilators
COPD Corticosteroids
16. Asthma A chronic condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading
to diflculty breathing
17. Pneumonia An infection of the lungs that causes inflammation and fluid buildup
18. Pulmonary Em- A blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, usually caused by blood
bolism clots
