Management of all types and grades of angina includes the
use of lifestyle modification to reduce risk factors. Which of
these modifications are appropriate for which reason? Both
the modification and the reason for it must be true for the
answer to be correct.
A. Lose at least 10 pounds of body weight. Excessive weight
increases cardiac workload.
B. Reduce sodium intake to no more than 2,400 mg of
sodium. Sodium increases blood volume and cardiac
workload.

C. Increase potassium intake to at least 100 mEq/d. The
heart needs higher levels of potassium to improve
contractility and oxygen supply.
D. Intake a moderate amount of alcohol. Moderate intake
has been shown by research to improve cardiac function.
...... ANSWER ....... Reduce sodium intake to no more
than 2400mg of sodium. Sodium increased blood volume
and cardiac workload.
Situations that suggest referral to a specialist is appropriate
include: ...... ANSWER ....... When chronic stable angina
becomes unpredictable in its characteristics and
precipitating factors
When a post-myocardial infarction patient develops new
onset angina
When standard therapy is not successful in improving
exercise tolerance or reducing the incidence of angina
The most common cause of angina is: ...... ANSWER .......
Atherosclerosis
Prior to developing a plan for the treatment of asthma, the

asthma is classified as asthma symptoms that occur:
1. Daily
2. Daily and limit physical activity
3. Less than twice a week
4. More than twice a week and less than once a day ......
ANSWER ....... More than 2x a week and less than 1x per
day
In children age 5 to 11 years mild-persistent asthma is
diagnosed when asthma symptoms occur:
1. At nighttime one to two times a month
2. At nighttime three to four times a month
3. Less than twice a week
, Page 4 of 57
4. Daily ...... ANSWER ....... At nighttime three to four
times a month
One goal of asthma therapy outlined by the NHLBI Expert
Panel 3 guidelines is:
1. Ability to use albuterol daily to control symptoms
2. Minimize exacerbations to once a month
3. Keep nighttime symptoms at a maximum of twice a week
4. Require infrequent use of beta 2 agonists (albuterol) for
relief of symptoms ...... ANSWER ....... Require
infrequent use of beta 2 agonists (albuterol) for relief of
symptoms
Monitoring a patient with persistent asthma includes: ......
ANSWER ....... Evaluating the patient every 1-6 months
to determine if the patient needs to step up or down in
their therapy
