CARDIOLOGY NURSING 1 HUMBER
EXAMINATION TEST 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Stroke Volume. Answer: Amount of blood ejected from the ventricle
with each heartbeat.
◉ Preload. Answer: Volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of
diastole.
◉ Afterload. Answer: Resistance the left ventricle must overcome to
pump blood.
◉ Contractility. Answer: Influenced by the sympathetic nervous system.
◉ Heart Failure. Answer: Related to inadequate pumping and/or filling
of the heart, leading to insufficient blood supply to meet tissue oxygen
needs.
◉ Systolic Failure. Answer: Inability of the heart to effectively pump
blood, characterized by a decreased ejection fraction (<45%).
,◉ Diastolic Failure. Answer: Inability of the ventricles to relax and fill
during diastole, leading to decreased stroke volume and cardiac output.
◉ Right-Sided Heart Failure. Answer: Blood backs up into the right
atrium and venous circulation, leading to symptoms like jugular venous
distention and peripheral edema.
◉ Left-Sided Heart Failure. Answer: Blood backs up into the left atrium
and pulmonary veins, causing pulmonary congestion, hypertension, and
edema.
◉ Jugular Venous Distention. Answer: A sign of right-sided heart failure
characterized by distended jugular veins in the neck.
◉ Dependent Edema. Answer: Swelling in dependent body parts due to
fluid accumulation, often seen in right-sided heart failure.
◉ Pulmonary Congestion. Answer: Fluid leakage from the pulmonary
capillary bed due to increased pulmonary pressure, a consequence of
left-sided heart failure.
◉ Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF). Answer: A sudden
worsening of heart failure symptoms, requiring immediate medical
attention and interventions.
, ◉ Chronic Heart Failure. Answer: A progressive condition without cure,
managed to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life, and prevent
exacerbations.
◉ Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP). Answer: A biomarker used to
determine the degree of heart dysfunction, with elevated levels
indicating heart failure.
◉ Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy. Answer: A treatment for heart
failure involving bi-ventricular pacing to improve heart function.
◉ Entresto. Answer: A new drug for chronic heart failure management.
◉ Nursing Process Assessment. Answer: A systematic method used by
nurses to collect and analyze patient data, set goals, and create care
plans.
◉ Symptom management. Answer: Addressing and alleviating
symptoms associated with a condition
◉ Self-care. Answer: Activities individuals perform to maintain health
and well-being
◉ Health promotion. Answer: Encouraging behaviors that improve
overall health and prevent illness
