Question 1 Explanation:
The left anterior descending artery is the primary source of blood for the
anterior wall of the heart. The circumflex artery supplies the lateral wall,
the internal mammary artery supplies the mammary, and the right
coronary artery supplies the inferior wall of the heart.
Question 2 WRONG
When do coronary arteries primarily receive blood flow?
During inspiration
During diastole
During expiration
During systole
Question 2 Explanation:
Although the coronary arteries may receive a minute portion of blood
during systole, most of the blood flow to coronary arteries is supplied
during diastole. Breathing patterns are irrelevant to blood flow
Question 3 WRONG
Which of the following illnesses is the leading cause of death in the US?
Cancer
Coronary artery disease
Liver failure
Renal failure
http://nurseslabs.com/medical-surgical-nursing-exam-16-cardiovascular-nursing-60-items/ Page 3 of 45
Question 3 Explanation:
Coronary artery disease accounts for over 50% of all deaths in the US.
Cancer accounts for approximately 20%. Liver failure and renal failure
account for less than 10% of all deaths in the US.
Question 4 WRONG
Which of the following conditions most commonly results in CAD?
Atherosclerosis
DM
MI
Renal failure
Question 4 Explanation:
Atherosclerosis, or plaque formation, is the leading cause of CAD. DM is
a risk factor for CAD but isn't the most common cause. Renal failure
doesn't cause CAD, but the two conditions are related. Myocardial
infarction is commonly a result of CAD.
Question 5 WRONG
Atherosclerosis impedes coronary blood flow by which of the following
mechanisms?
Plaques obstruct the vein
Plaques obstruct the artery
Blood clots form outside the vessel wall
Hardened vessels dilate to allow the blood to flow through
Question 5 Explanation:
Arteries, not veins, supply the coronary arteries with oxygen and other
nutrients. Atherosclerosis is a direct result of plaque formation in the
artery. Hardened vessels can't dilate properly and, therefore, constrict
blood flow.
Question 6 WRONG
