NURS 152 Unit 3 Questions With Complete Solutions
ACE Inhibitors Correct Answer Produce vasodilation by
inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II, which causes
vasoconstriction. Relaxing the veins and arteries to lower BP.
benazepril, enalapril, lisinopril
Acute Heart Failure Correct Answer Worsening s/s reflecting
an inability of the heart to pump at a rate commensurate to the
needs of the body at normal filling pressure.
Afterload Correct Answer Pressure that the heart must work
against to eject blood during systole (Ventricular contraction)
Aldosterone Correct Answer Steroid hormone. Main role is to
regulate salt and water in the body, thus influencing blood
pressure.
Alpha & Beta adrenergic antagonist Correct Answer Subclass
of beta blockers. Reduce or block the signals of agonists. There
are a-adreno receptors that are located on vascular smooth
muscle.
Alpha 1- adrenergic antagonists Correct Answer Bind to
receptor on vascular smooth muscle and induce smooth
contraction and vasoconstriction, mimicking the effects of
sympathetic adrenergic nerve activation to the blood vessels.
doxazosin, prazosin
, Alpha 2 adrenergic agonists Correct Answer Inhibit adenylyl
cyclase activity, reduces brainstem vasomotor center mediated
CNS activation. clonidine
Aneurysm Correct Answer localized enlargement of an artery
caused by weakening of the artery wall
Angina pectoris Correct Answer Chest pain due to coronary
heart disease
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) Correct Answer
Block the action of angiotensin II from binding to receptors on
the muscles surrounding blood vessels. Irbesartan, losartan
Annuloplasty Correct Answer Surgical reconstruction of the
ring (annulus) of the heart valve.
Arteriosclerosis Correct Answer Loss of elasticity or
hardening of the arteries that accompany aging.
Arteriosclerosis vs. Atherosclerosis Correct Answer Harding
of the arterial wall, resulting in loss of elasticity. Vs. Specific
type of arteriosclerosis refers to build up of fats, cholesterol, and
other stuff that can build up in artery walls, restricting blood
flow.
Atherosclerosis Correct Answer Lumen of arteries fill with
plaque composed of cholesterol.
Atypical MI chest pain Correct Answer Back pain,
indigestion like feeling, burning, stabbing.

inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II, which causes
vasoconstriction. Relaxing the veins and arteries to lower BP.
