NUR 1212C Exam Three 2026
Expert Verified | Ace the Test
S/S of PE: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔sudden onset dyspnea, sharp stabbing chest
pain, tachycardia, crackles, diaphoresis, distended neck veins, hypotension
Labs for PE: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔BMP, troponin, BNP, d-dimer, ABG, CBC,
PTT
Whats used to diagnose a PE? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔pulmonary angiography
Left sided heart failure causes (and name), s/s: - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔CHF:
hypertension, CAD, valve disease
, s/s: decreased perfusion, pulmonary congestion, edema
systolic heart failure - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔heart cannot contract well in systole
(forward failure)
-blood accumulates in the pulmonary blood vessels
-preload and afterload increases
diastolic heart failure - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔left ventricle cannot relax well
enough which prevents the ventricle from filling with adequate amounts of
blood
-typically ejection fracture stays above 40% (unlike systolic heart failure)
but more pressure is needed to pump
Right sided heart failure causes - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔left sided heart failure,
right ventricular MI, pulmonary hypertension, structural changes in heart
