UNDERSTANDING PATHO EXAM SUCCESS: ULTIMATE
A+, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS BREAKDOWN
After sitting in a chair for an hour, an elderly patient develops moderate lower extremity edema. His
edema is most likely a consequence of:
right sided heart failure
Which of the following will decrease stroke volume, potentially leading to systolic heart failure?
ventricular remodeling due to ischemia
Risk for factors for hypertension most often alter:
pressure-natriuresis relationship
All forms of shock are associated with inadequate tissue perfusion
T/f
True
Risk factors for hypertension include
all of the above. male gender, smoking, obesity
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by low cardiac output, low blood pressure, and low cardiac preload
T/F
False
A lack of surfactant as occurs with IRDS causes airway collapse and hyperinflation of alveoli
T/F
False
Second-degee heart block I (Wenckenback) is characterized by:
variable PR interval and dropped QRS complexes
second degree type II
Hypotension associated with neurogenic and anaphylactic shock is due to:
peripheral pooling of blood
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by
reduced cardiac output
High blood pressure increases the workload of the left ventricle because it increases
the afterload
sick sinus syndrome
