NURS 425 -2025 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
100% CORECT ANSWERS!!
What is Cardiac output?
Volume of blood ejected by the heart in one minute:
cardiac output = heart rate x stroke volume
What is preload
amount of blood in ventricles at end of diastole (Filling up the ventricle)
Decreased preload is decreased what
C.O
What is afterload?
Resistance the heart must overcome during systole. (We are pushing blood out)
Increase preload equals what?
equals increased C.O
With HTN, are we going to have increased or decreased afterload
With HTN we are going to have increased afterload (because afterload is our resistance)
What type of medications can decrease our afterload?
Anti-HTN
What are the priority assessments for Angina
12-lead ECG
Ask what the patients was doing
Ask if the pain was relieved with NTG
What is stable angina
excerise induced chest pain relieved by rest or nitroglycerin
, What is unstable angina
Initial phase of acute coronary syndrome
Acute decrease in blood and precursor of an MI
Occurs at rest
What are the interventions of angina
MONA
PCI??
Give NTG, always check BP first
How would we know if the patients angina improved
Relieved with rest
Pain is decreased(relief of pain)
Check BP
Common S/E of NTG is
HA (give Tylenol )
What are some patient teaching with angina
Teach them how to take their NTG
Lifestyle changes (stop smoking, low cholesterol, low sat fats, low Na)
What are the risk factors for HTN
Smoking
DM
Sedentary life style
DM
Excessive Na intake
What do we want to teach a patient who has HTN
DASH diet
Smoking cessation
