DAANCE module 2
ASA class 1 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with no disturbance
ASA class 2 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with mild to moderate systemic disturbance
ASA class 3 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with severe systemic disturbance
ASA class 4 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with sever life threatening systemic disorder
ASA class 5 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt is moribund with little chance of survival
Ischemia - ✔✔ correct answer Deficiency of blood to a body part due to functional constriction
obstruction of a blood vessel
Angina pectoris - ✔✔ correct answer Pain in the chest with a feeling of suffocation usually due to a
deficiency of blood supply to the myocardium
Myocardial infarction - ✔✔ correct answer Necrosis of tissue of the myocardium resulting from an
interruption of the blood supply to the area, as in coronary thrombosis
Rheumatic heart disease - ✔✔ correct answer Damage to the heart, primarily the heart valves,
caused by a systemic bacterial infection
Mitral valve prolapse - ✔✔ correct answer A valvular heart disorder in which one or both mitral valve
flaps close incompletely
Endocarditis - ✔✔ correct answer Inflammation of the myocardium (the lining of the cavities of the
heart and connective tissue bed on which it lies)
Hypertension - ✔✔ correct answer Elevated blood pressure. Greater that 140/90
Beta blockers - ✔✔ correct answer Medication to decrease the force and rate of contraction of the
heart, eg, atenolol. Treats high blood pressure
, DAANCE module 2
Vasodilators - ✔✔ correct answer Medications used to reduce the pressure in the vasculature, eg,
Norvasc, Lisinopril, Diovan. Treats high blood pressure
Diuretics - ✔✔ correct answer Medications to reduce the volume of fluid in the system (HCTZ, Lasix)
promotes excretion of urine and decrease of blood volume. treats high blood pressure
Congestive heart failure - ✔✔ correct answer A clinical syndrome due to heart disease and
characterized by breathlessness and abnormal water and sodium retention, resulting in edema
Digitalis - ✔✔ correct answer A pharmacologic agent used to treat congestive heart failure, A fib,
atrial flutter and paroxysmal tachycardia. It increases the force of cardiac contraction
Left sided heart failure - ✔✔ correct answer Left side of heart fails to pump blood out into the
circulation efficiency, causing blood to back up to the LUNGS
Right sides heart failure - ✔✔ correct answer Right side of the heart fails to pump blood efficiently to
the lungs, causing blood to back up in the peripheral circulation, causing peripheral edema
Congenital heart disease - ✔✔ correct answer Cardiac disease caused by a defect in the heart
structure since birth
Arrhythmia - ✔✔ correct answer Any variation from the normal rhythm of the heartbeat
Dysrhythmia - ✔✔ correct answer Disturbance of cardiac rhythm
Normal sinus rhythm - ✔✔ correct answer The normal rhythm of the heart containing P waves, QRS
complexes and T waves with a regular rate of 60-100 bpm
P wave - ✔✔ correct answer A wave appearing on an ECG tracing that reflects the electrical activity
that produces contraction of atria. The 1st elevation on the ECG.
QRS complex - ✔✔ correct answer An element appearing on an ECG tracing that reflects the activity
that produces ventricular contraction. The heart is at rest. It is narrow and has a width of less than
half of one large block
ASA class 1 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with no disturbance
ASA class 2 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with mild to moderate systemic disturbance
ASA class 3 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with severe systemic disturbance
ASA class 4 - ✔✔ correct answer Pt with sever life threatening systemic disorder
