Correct Answer-Antidysrhythmic Medications Indications: Cardiac
ARRHYTHMIAS
◦Hypertension
◦Heart Failure
◦Angina
◦Atrial fibrillation
◦Coronary Artery Disease
◦Coagulopathy: Embolism/ Thrombosis
◦Myocardial Infarction
◦Cerebrovascular Accident Correct Answer-Cardiovascular Medications:
Manages
abnormally high blood pressure
(>140/90) Correct Answer-Hypertension: (def)
abnormally low blood pressure Correct Answer-Hypotension: (def)
a chronic condition in which the heart is unable to pump out all of the
blood that it receives
,(CHF) Congestive heart failure Correct Answer-Heart Failure: (def)
Pain in the heart region caused by lack of oxygen Correct Answer-
Angina: (def)
rapid irregular contractions of the small chambers of the heart giving it
less time to fill and makes it less Correct Answer-Atrial Fibrillation:
(def)
disease of the arteries surrounding the heart Correct Answer-Coronary
Artery Disease: (def)
sudden blocking of artery Correct Answer-Embolism: (def)
abnormal condition of a blood clot Correct Answer-Thrombosis: (def)
heart attack Correct Answer-myocardial infarction: (def)
disruption in the normal blood supply to the brain; stroke Correct
Answer-Cerebrovascular accident (CVA): (def)
Transports nutrients and waste
Pumps blood
Maintains and regulates blood pressure
Acid-base balance
,Fluid balance
Body Temperature Correct Answer-Cardiovascular System: Function
The transport system of the body responsible for carrying oxygen and
nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other
wastes; composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Correct
Answer-Cardiovascular System: (def)
Is the pressure exerted by circulating blood upon the walls of the
arteries. Correct Answer-What is Blood Pressure?
1. Blood Volume
2. Peripheral Resistance
3. Cardiac Output Correct Answer-What affects blood pressure? (3)
Activate sympathetic response:
•Increase HR (epi and norepi)
•Vasoconstriction
•Increase heart contractility Correct Answer-How does your body
compensate to changes in BP?
Low BP?
Activate parasympathetic response
•ACh: HR will increase or decrease? -decrease
•Blood vessels will dilate or constrict? - dilate
, •Cardiac contractility will increase or decrease? -decrease Correct
Answer-How does your body compensate for High blood pressure?
The total amount of blood circulating within the body
(Blood takes about 1 minute to make it all the way through your body - 3
ft per second!) Correct Answer-Blood Volume: (def)
- Renal failure
- Liver failure
- Excessive sodium intake
- Pregnancy Correct Answer-What could cause blood volume to
increase?
- Hemorrhage
- Water loss
- Sodium depletion Correct Answer-What could cause blood volume to
decrease?
•The Resistance of the arteries to blood flow.
•Constriction increases resistance.
•Dilation decreases resistance. Correct Answer-Peripheral Resistance:
(def)
- Congestive heart failure
