MULTIDIMENSIONAL CARE 3 FINAL
EXAM 2025 |GUARANTEED ACCURATE
ANSWERS
What is Atrial Fibrillation? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Rapid,
irregular heart rate with no discernible rhythm
What are symptoms of Atrial Fibrillation? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ May be asymptomatic
-Dyspnea
-palpitations
-fatigue
-lightheadedness
-weakness
-chest pain (Heart is not getting enough oxygen)
-hemodynamic shock (hypotension)
What can happen with Atrial fibrillation? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
can lead to pooling in the atria, clot formation, then embolus can travel
around the body and cause a stroke, PE, or MI
What is a treatment for atrial fibrillation? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
anticoagulants
,What is supraventricular tachycardia? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ -
abnormally fast heart rhythm due to inappropriate electrical activity in
the atria, specifically the AV node
-Atria has a much faster heart rate than ventricles
-ventricles contract to be >100 bpm
What are treatment options for supraventricular tachycardia? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ -calcium channel blockers
-beta blockers
-anticoagulants
-catheter ablation (electrify/burn to get back into rhythm)
-valsalva maneuver (bear down to decrease heart rate, forced expiration
against a closed glottis)
How is heart failure diagnosed? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔
echocardiogram
What is left sided heart failure? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ fluid
backing up into the lungs leading to pulmonary congestion
What are symptoms of left sided heart failure? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ DROWNING
Dyspnea
, Rales
Orthopnea
Weakness
Nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea (SOB @ night d/t orthopnea)
Increased heart rate
Nagging cough
Gaining weight (2-3 lbs/day)
What is right sided heart failure? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Fluid is
backing up into venous system (periphery)
What are symptoms of right sided heart failure? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ SWELLING
Swelling
Weight gain
Edema (pitting)
Large neck veins (JVD)
Lethargy/fatigue
Nocturia (elevated legs at night cause fluid to go back to kidneys and
stimulates urination)
Girth (ascites)- hepatomegaly, splenomegaly
