Question 1
pts
Effective long-term treatment of systolic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction should include which
of the following?
Correct!
Prescribing valsartan/sacubitril (Entresto) unless contraindicated on discharge
Angiotensin Receptor and Neprilysin Inhibition is considered goal-directed therapy for patients with
reduced systolic heart function as evidence by the PARAGON-HF Trial. Auscultation is an assessment
item, not a treatment. Midazolam does not have any long term benefit for heart failure. Fluid bolus in a
patient with likely fluid overload from systolic heart failure only worsen their presenting symptoms.
Prescribing 500 ml fluid bolus for hypotension

Question 4
pts
An older adult female presents for her annual examination. She has been on antihypertensive
medications for over 20 years, with good control. Laboratory values are within normal ranges. The nurse
practitioner is concerned about the patient’s cardiac health risks, due her to weight and her waist
circumference. According to the AHA guidelines, which of the following goals is expected for this patient?
Physical activity for 60 minutes daily, 7 days a week
Correct!
Physical activity for 30 minutes daily, for a minimum of 5 days a week
Physical activity for 30 minutes daily, 7 days a week
Physical activity for 60 minutes daily, for a minimum of 6 days a week

Question 6 jk
pts jk jk
An adult patient must maintain an International Normalized Ratio (INR) between 2.0 and 3.0. The patient
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
goes to a clinic for INR determination, and the result is 1.4. Which of the following would be likely to
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
decrease the effects of warfarin (Coumadin)?
jk jk jk jk jk jk
j k Red Wine jk
j k Red meat jk
Correct!
j k Broccoli
j k Grapefruit
It’s important to remember with warfarin (Coumadin) therapy that it is a vitamin K antagonist, and
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
therefore it can be counteracted by a patient who is eating a dietary intake of vitamin K. Leafy green
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
vegetables such as broccoli and spinach are notorious for increasing vitamin K levels, and therefore
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
inhibiting the anticoagulation effect of warfarin. It’s also important to remember that with the direct
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
oral anticoagulants category, vitamin K is not affected, and therefore no dietary restrictions are
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
required for this class of medications such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban, which is a
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
distinct benefit over warfarin as noted above. Also, with warfarin it is important to remember that the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
effects are based on the free drug, not the protein bound drug level, so patients who have
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
considerable protein stores will require more warfarin than those who are emaciated or have low
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
protein levels chronically.
jk jk jk
With respect to this particular question, red wine and grapefruit do not have an effect of lowering the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
INR, in fact, they will raise it by their unique mechanisms. Grapefruit specifically causes warfarin
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
levels to rise through the CYP 450 system, and red wine causes the INR to increase by thinning the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
blood and and red meat is not likely to have a considerable impact, although it might have some
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
impact if the protein stores are otherwise low prior to initiating the red meat in the diet. Broccoli is the
jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk jk
only option that has vitamin K and should be an obvious choice for this question.
