NURS 6550 FINAL EXAM (VERSIONS-1)
, NURS 6550 FINAL EXAM: LATEST
1. The Valsalva maneuver and the squat-to-stand maneuver are likely to increase
the sound of a cardiac murmur associated with which of these conditions?
a. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
2. Which of the following conditions may result in lower extremity edema?
Nephrotic syndrome
Decompensated congestive heart failure
Cirrhosis
Renal failure
Deep venous thrombosis
Late-stage pregnancy
All of the above
3. Art Bakke is a 46-year-old male who is being treated for an acute myocardial
infarction. He has now developed significant dyspnea at rest and, per physical
exam, has coarse rales involving the lower 2/3 of the lung fields bilaterally. You
suspect acute pulmonary edema due to papillary-muscle rupture and acute mitral-
valve regurgitation.
Question: Which of the following physical findings would support this diagnostic
hypothesis?
