NSE 103 MIDTERM WEEKS 1-4 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
100% CORRECT.
First level priority - ANS.... -life-threatening, urgent action
Second Level priority - ANS.... -may become life-threatening without
prompt action
Third Level Priority - ANS.... -Functional health, client education, should be
addressed but not urgent
Ex. increased stress levels
Factors influencing BP - ANS.... -Cardiac output
Peripheral Vascular Resistance
Volume of circulatory resistance
Viscosity of Blood
Elasticity of vessel walls
Bradycardia - ANS.... -heart rate drops below 60bpm
newborn = < 100bpm
Tachycardia - ANS.... -Heart rate increases > 100bpm
Normal adult SV - ANS.... -30-70mL
, Normal Newborn SV - ANS.... -5mL
Sinus Arrhythmia - ANS.... -irregular pulse rhythm --> HR increases on
inhale and decreases back to normal rate on exhale
- increases to compensate for decreased in stroke volume
- Normal in newborns/toddlers
Hypotension - ANS.... -low BP < 95/60mm Hg
Symptoms: lightheadedness, loss of consciousness, blurry vision
Hypertension - ANS.... -Chronic elevated BP, 140/90mm Hg or higher
Automatic BP > 135/85mm Hg
Manual BP > 140/90mm Hg
- Can lead to heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, Peripheral arterial disease,
chronic kidney disease or heart failure
Acute Pain - ANS.... -Short, limited in duration, caused by something
specific
Chronic Pain - ANS.... -Pain that continues to occur & recurs for 3months
or more
Secondary = pain that manifests as a result of a disease or condition
Primary = based on a condition that is often poorly understood & cannot be
accounted for by another cause
Nociceptive Pain - ANS.... -noxious stimulus that activates nociceptors
w/potential to cause non-neural tissue injury
