Pharmacology NURS 251 Module 3 Exam 2026/2027
Updated.
1. Classify the following blood pressure value- 155-95mm/Hg.: Stage 2 hyper-tension
2. True or False. Hypertension is often asymptomatic.: True
3. Match the Blood Pressure with the correct classification.
- 110/75 mm/Hg
- 125/75mm/Hg
- 135/85mm/Hg
- 170/110mm/Hg: 110/75 mm/Hg = Normotensive
125/75mm/Hg = Elevated BP
135/85mm/Hg = Stage 1
170/110mm/Hg = Stage 2
4. True or False: Essential Hypertension is when the cause of a patient'shypertension is
unknown.: True
5. What is the name of the artery that blood flow must be temporarily cut offfrom when
taking a patient's blood pressure?: Brachial artery
1/4
, 6. List the two main physiologic factors that determine a patient's Cardiacoutput.: heart
rate (bpm)
stroke volume (vol. pumped per min)
7. Increased blood pressure causes an overall increase in peripheral resis-tanceA the
blood supply to the kidney. As a result, the kidney releases an enzyme called B
ultimately leading to furthervasoconstriction and a further increase in C .: A.
Inhibiting
B. Renin
C. Blood Pressure
8. What blood pressure reading would warrant the consideration of drug ther-apy in a 45
year-old-man with no other health conditions?: anything >140/90 mm/Hg
9. True or False: Beta Blockers are first line for the treatment of hypertension.-
: False
10. Name the drug class that works to lower blood pressure by stimulatingreceptors in
the brain: Alpha agonists
11. True or False: Beta Blockers' site of action is in the heart.: True
12. Angiotensin ö Angiotensin I ö Angiotensin: 1II. Renin
2/4
