Answers

2. Avoid soft bedding, toys, and blankets in the crib
3. Avoid bed sharing
4. Encourage breast feeding and routine immunization
5. Cardiovascular home monitors --> not proved to reduce risk - CORRECT
ANSWER Name the ways of prevention for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
factors that promote deep vein thrombosis - CORRECT ANSWER What is Triad of
Virchow?
1. Venous stasis (blood is not moving)
- blood is not moving which causes it to clot b/c it's just sitting there
2. Hypercoagulable state (excess clotting)
- blood have more platelet or clotting factors, which causes clots to occur more
often
3. Venous Endothelial Damage (damage to the lining of the vessel walls)
- causes an immune reaction when there is an injury, which results with
inflammation and creates a plaque, thus blocks veins - CORRECT ANSWER Name
the 3 factors of Triad of Virchow
- lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, increased sodium intake, smoking) - CORRECT
ANSWER Give examples of modifiable risk factors of hypertension
,- things you're born with (family history, age, low socioeconomic status) -
CORRECT ANSWER Give examples of non-modifiable risk factors of hypertension
- It's the failure of the mechanism to vasoconstrict arterioles to raise blood
pressure when someone goes from laying down to standing up
- Causes:
a. Antihypertensive drugs (lowers HP) --> work by dilating the blood vessels, which
prevents vasoconstriction and causes mechanisms to fail and cause OH
b. Prolonged immobility caused by illness
c. Volume depletion
d. Conditions that cause venous pooling
- Symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, fainting (syncope) - CORRECT ANSWER
Explain Orthostatic Hypotension and its causes
Embolism - CORRECT ANSWER _____________ is a bolus of matter that circulates
in the bloodstream and then lodges, leading to obstruction of blood flow

inappropriately injecting air through central lines or IVs?
a. Cardiac emboli
b. Venous emboli
