NSG6001 Final Study Guide
You are in the clinic with your mentor observing exercise test of a 45 year old who has been
experiencing slight chest pressure almost daily during exercise. While observing your patient
your mentor points out that the left ventricle wall is thinning and there is some hyperkinesia of
the ventricular wall. From your time in the clinic you know that this test will be what type of result
positive
What are the most common mechanisms to produce cardiac arrhythmias?
enhanced automaticity, triggered activity or reentry
A 65 year old white male arrives in your clinic with general complaints of slight abdominal
discomfort. He has a known history of smoking two packs per day for 40 years and
hypertension. He also has COPD and has been treated numerous times with oral steroids. You
consider optimal diagnoses. Of the ones listed below which should be included as a potential
top suspect in our choice diagnosis
abdominal aortic aneurysm
More than half of all cardiac arrhythmias involve in the atria
true
What are the most common symptoms caused by tachyarrhythmias
palpitations
For women with known cad and diabetes, which is the most appropriate to assess CAD risk
ETT with imaging
Of the following, which is the best answer when asked about the advantage of echocardiogram
exercise testing over thallium stress testing
Results are available more quickly
Your patient has uncomplicated pyelonephritis. In deciding your recommended treatment, you
consider the most common pathogenic reason for this diagnosis. What pathogen accounts for
the majority of pyelonephritis?
, E. coli
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
What purpose does the principle of fidelity serve
Ensures that providers honor their commitment to the patient
In CAD after both systolic and diastolic dysfunction have occurred. The typical pattern of chest
pain and related EKG changes occur. During an ekg you should expect to see ST segment and
T wave changes that are central to demonstration of ischemia occurring relatively late in the
ischemic cascade is this true or false
true
The leads on the ECG showing ischemic changes during or immediately after an ETT can
correlate roughly to the culprit artery or arteries with significant CAD. Is this true or false
true
Skin cancer is the most common malignant neoplasms in males in the US. What is the second
leading cause of cancer deaths in men greater than 50 years of age
Prostate cancer
What ech changes can reduce the specificity of the ETT
paced rhythm and resting bundle branch blocks
You have confirmed that your patient does indeed have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. In
teaching your patient about symptoms to report immediately to the vascular surgeon you
instruct the patient to report which of the following
back pain or flank pain
Which is one of the common causes of a saccular abdominal aneurysm
trauma
The diagnostic accuracy of stress testing is decreased among women compared to men for
what reasons
women usually have single vessel or non-obstructive disease
