(S/S =
- chest discomfort
- Diaphoresis (Sudden sweating)
- Dyspnea (shortness of breath)
- Nausea/vomiting
- Anxiety, irritability
- Feeling of impending doom
- Abnormal pulse
- Abnormal blood pressure)
-The part of the heart that pumps unoxygenated blood to the lung is called the: - -right

-Vessels that supply the heart with oxygenated blood. - -Coronary Arteries
-When a person's coronary artery is unable to supply adequate oxygenated blood to the

-All of the following are signs and symptoms of a person who has congestive heart failure
EXCEPT: - -normal breathing
(S/S =
- shortness of breath
- chest pain/discomfort
- rapid pulse rate
- Pedal edema (swollen ankles)
- Jugular vein distention (JDV)
- Pale, moist skin
- Altered mental status due to a decrease in perfusion to the brain.)
-The medication we give to a patient who is having chest pains is called what? - -

-You are treating a patient who is having chest pain. Your patient states that he has
narrowing of the arteries. This is called: - -Atherosclerosis

of the patient can include all of the following EXCEPT: - -Having the patient breathe into a
paper bag
- care should focus on calming the patient
- removing the patient, if necessary, from their environment
- if protocol allows, you may use low flow oxygen while calming patient down
-The exchange of oxygen in the alveoli and at the cellular level is known as: - -Respiration
-Which of the folllowing is NOT a sign of sepsis? - -itching (S/S =
- Fever
- chills
- Rapid breathing
- Rapid heart rate
- low blood pressure
- altered mental status )
