Question 1
A major risk factor for arterial embolic disease is:
Response
Feedback: Atherosclerosis in the aorta and other large blood
vessels is a common risk factor, both for thromboembolism and
cholesterol embolism. The legs and feet are major impact sites for
these types.
Question 2
The level at which the jugular venous pulse is visible gives an
indication of:
Response The level at which the jugular venous pulse is visible
Feedback: indicates right atrial pressure. The jugular veins empty
into the superior vena cava, which empties into the
right atria. The jugular venous system reflects the
competency of the right side of the heart. The other
four possible answers reflect the competency of the
left side of the heart.
Question 3
In children, coarctation of the aorta should be suspected if you detect:
, Response Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital stenosis or
Feedback: narrowing seen most commonly in the descending
aortic arch near the origin of the left subclavian artery
and ligamentum arteriosum. Ordinarily the radial and
femoral pulses are palpated simultaneously. When
there is a delay and/or a palpable diminution of
amplitude of the femoral pulse, coarctation must be
suspected. Differences in blood pressure taken in the
arms and legs should confirm the suspicion.
Question 4
Contraction of the ventricles causes:
Response Feedback
The sharp decrease in ventricular pressure that occurs during
ventricular diastole allows the atrioventricular valves (or mitral and
tricuspid valves) to open and causes the contents of the atria to
empty into the ventricles. ... Contraction of the atria follows
depolarization, represented by the P wave of the ECG.
Question 5
Pleural pain differs from chest discomfort caused by other conditions
in that it is:
Response Pleural pain is precipitated by breathing and coughing
Feedback: and is usually described as a sharp pain that is present
during respirations and absent during breath-holding.
Angina is substernal and is provoked by effort,
emotion, or eating and is relieved by rest and/or
nitroglycerin. Angina is usually accompanied by
diaphoresis and occasionally by nausea.
