SBU Physical Assessment Final Exam Questions
100% Answered Latest 2023
what are the 3 artery layers?
tunica interna, tunica media, tunica externa
Artery Layers- which layer has a function to resist thrombus formation?
tunica intima
Artery Layers- what 2 clinical signs indicated that the intima has become rougher
and lumen narrowed?
bruit and thrill
Artery Layers- which layer is responsible for peripheral resistance to blood flow?
tunica media
Artery Layers- the tunica externa is primarily composed of (elastic
membranes/connective tissue)
connective tissue
what are the 3 pulse locations for the upper extremity?
brachial, radial, ulnar
what are the 4 pulse locations for the lower extremity?
femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial
PAD/arterial insufficiency is associated with what pathologic condition?
atherosclerosis
PAD prevalance increases with...?
age
PAD- what are the 4 risk factors?
age, smoking, hyperlipidemia, diabetes
what is name for the test that checks for arterial insufficiency in the hand
(assesses blood refill pattern)
allen's test
what are the 2 types of claudication?
intermittent and neurogenic
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> usually calf pain
, (intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> usuall calf pain
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> can be calf, thigh, or hip pain
neurogenic
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> induced by LE exercise; exertional
intermittent
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> usually induced by prolonged standing
or walking; positional
neurogenic
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> relieved by rest; usuall w/in 10 min; NOT
so much by change in position
intermittent
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> relieved by change of position, such as
leaning forward; NOT so much by rest
neurogenic
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> caused by ischemia secondary to LE
PAD
intermittent
(intermittent/neurogenic) claudication --> caused by neural compression
secondary to lumbar stenosis
neurogenic
ABI Levels- (normal/borderline/abnormal) --> 1.0 - 1.1
normal
ABI Levels- (normal/borderline/abnormal) --> 0.91 - 0.99
borderline
ABI Levels- (normal/borderline/abnormal) --> <0.9 or >1.3
abnormal
ABI Levels: Abnormal- low ABIs, <0.9, are due to (arterial
narrowing/incompressible vessels)
arterial narrowing
ABI Levels: Abnormal- high ABIs, >1.3, are due to (arterial
narrowing/incompressible vessels)
