HTN(Correct answers)
A patient with hypertension is at high risk for developing which condition? Select all that apply.
Renal disease
Stroke
Heart failure (HF)
Vision loss correct answersRenal disease
Stroke
Heart failure (HF)
Vision loss
Which class of medication puts a woman at higher risk for developing hypertension?
Antidepressants
Oral contraceptives
Corticosteroids
Diuretics correct answersOral contraceptives
Hypertension is 2-3 times higher in women who take oral contraceptives.
Which ethnic group has the lowest rate of blood pressure (BP) control along with the lowest
awareness of BP and treatment options?
Blacks
Whites
Native Americans
Hispanics correct answersHispanics
Hispanic people have the lowest rate of BP control. They also have the lowest rate of BP
awareness and are less likely to receive treatment for hypertension than Whites and non-Hispanic
Blacks.
Which function is performed by the vascular endothelium? Select all that apply.
Regulation of coagulation
White blood cell adhesion
Aggregation of neutrophils
Regulation of vasodilating and vasoconstricting substances
Fluid control in vessels correct answersRegulation of coagulation
Aggregation of neutrophils
Regulation of vasodilating and vasoconstricting substances
Fluid control in vessels
Long-term blood pressure control is regulated by which system or structure?
The sympathetic nervous system
The heart
, The renal system
The vascular endothelium correct answersThe renal system
A patient presents to the clinic with chest pain, the vital signs are BP 189/140, RR 28, HR 120,
Temp 98.6°F. Calculate the stroke volume for the patient in mL/min. correct answers70 x 120=
8400
SV is the amount of blood pumped out of the left ventricle (about 70 ml) multiplied by heart rate
(HR).
Place the steps of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) regulation of blood pressure in the order
they occur.
Release of renin from the kidneys
SNS increases HR and cardiac contractibility
Widespread vasoconstriction in the peripheral arterioles
Drop in blood pressure correct answersDrop in blood pressure
SNS increases HR and cardiac contractibility
Widespread vasoconstriction in the peripheral arterioles
Release of renin from the kidneys

Normal
Elevated
Hypertension, stage I
Hypertension, stage II correct answersHypertension, stage I
Normal <120 and <80
Elevated 120-129 and <80
Hypertension, stage I 130-139 or 80-89
Hypertension, stage II ≥ 140 or ≥90
Which physiological change can cause hypertension in patients who are stressed?
Prolonged increase in sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity
Decrease in SNS activity
Prolonged increase in parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) activity
Decrease in PNS activity correct answersProlonged increase in sympathetic nervous system
Which factor in the patient's history likely contributed to the development of primary
hypertension? Select all that apply.
Tobacco use
Thyroid disease
Underproduction of sodium retaining hormones
Diabetes
Increased sodium intake
