NUR 198 Module 7/8 Joyce University
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS -
SOLVED (Newest 2026)
patency - CORRECT ANSWERS open or unobstructed
arteriosclerosis - CORRECT ANSWERS hardening of the arteries
atherosclerosis - CORRECT ANSWERS a form of arteriosclerosis characterized by the buildup
of fatty substances that harden within the walls of arteries
can break off and cause blood clots
lipid profile - CORRECT ANSWERS measures the lipids in the blood
what does a BNP measure - CORRECT ANSWERS enzyme released due to stretching of
ventricles
indicator of heart failure, normal is < 100
What does C-reactive protein test show - CORRECT ANSWERS high CRP indicates
inflammation in the body
what is homocysteine - CORRECT ANSWERS Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during
protein digestion. Vitamins breakdown homocysteine and a deficiency can cause elevated levels. Too
much can break down arterial walls and increase risk of blood clots
, What does homocysteine measure - CORRECT ANSWERS level of breakdown of dietary
proteins
12-hour fast necessary before test
what is troponin - CORRECT ANSWERS a regulatory protein found in the heart muscles that
moves tropomyosin aside & exposes myosin binding sites when Ca+ is released during muscle
contraction
high troponin - CORRECT ANSWERS indicates heart damage or MI
troponin is usually in the heart muscles but if there is damage to the heart, troponin leaks into the
bloodstream
nuclear stress test - CORRECT ANSWERS assessment of blood flow through the heart through
the use of a nuclear element injection while the patient exercises
nuclear stress test considerations - CORRECT ANSWERS check renal function
check for dye allergies
what is an echo - CORRECT ANSWERS echocardiography
non invasive
ultrasound of the heart to show its structures
can measure ejection fraction
nursing interventions for echocardiography - CORRECT ANSWERS inform patient about the
procedure
tell them it's painless and requires gel
they will have to follow instructions on how to breathe during the procedure
