EXAM 4 NUR210 ACTUAL PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ What are the details about Creatine Kinase? Answer: It's specific
to myocardial cells, because if myocardial cells are damaged, CK is
released. This number peaks in 15-20 hours after incident.
◉ What about Troponin? Answer: Levels rise more quickly, and is
more specific to heart damage than CK. Peaks in same amount of
time.
◉ What about Myoglobin test? Answer: Rises very quickly after MI,
and is cleared in one day. IT can only be measured within 12 of
hours of MI
◉ Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers Answer: When the value is
elevated, then the heart is being overworked. The uretic is given so
kidneys will pee out fluid and relieve stress on the heart.
◉ Difference between HDL, LDL, and triglycerides? Answer: HDL is
considered the good, LDL the bad, and Tri is the ugly. HDL should be
higher to protect the body
, ◉ Define these four ECG's
Telemetry, 12 lead, holter, and stress Answer: Telemetry keeps a
track of the electrical activity of the heart
12 lead is twelve different electrodes across the body to get all the
best angles of the heart function
Holter is remote tracing that people wear for a few days to look for
correlation between activity and heart rate
Tress test is where you put a 12 lead on someone and have them
walk.
◉ What is an ECHO and how do you read it? Transesophageal?
Answer: You read it upside down and backwards (LV is upper right).
This helps us see how the left ventricle is working because it has the
most amount of push and work in the heart.
We sedate patients and put a tube down the esophagus to help get a
clearer picture
◉ What is an angiogram and where do you do it from? Answer: This
is the most evasive way to view the heart. You do it femorally or
radially, and it helps us check for blockages and/or heart disease. We
inject die into vascular part of the heart.
◉ Numbers for prehypertension and stage 1 hypertension Answer:
Pre: 120-139 or 80-89
Stage 1: greater than 139 or 89
