Cardiac tamponade results in increased intracardiac pressure, progressive

limitation of ventricular diastolic filling and decrease SV and CO

Which of the following phenomena would be most likely to accompany increased

myocardial oxygen demand? - ANSWER Increased aortic pressure



Results in rise in afterload, wall tension, ultimately MVO2

Which of the following teaching points would be most appropriate for a group of

older adults who are concerned about their cardiac health? - ANSWER The

plaque that builds up in your heart vessels obstructs the normal flow of blood and

can even break loose and lodge itself in a vessel

segment elevation with inverted T waves and abnormal Q waves; levels of cardiac

markers subsequently rose



The chest pain of MI does not respond to rest or nitrates

Which of the following statements provides blood work results and rationale that

would be most closely associated with acute coronary syndrome? - ANSWER

Elevated creatinine kinase and troponin, both of which normally exist intracellularly

rather than in circulation

intracellularly

An IV drug abuser walks into the ED telling the nurse that, "he is sick". He looks

feverish with flushed, moist skin; dehydrated with dry lips/mucous membranes; and

fatigued. The assessment reveals a loud murmur. An echo was ordered that shows

large vegetation growing on his mitral valve. The patient is admitted to the ICU. The

nurse will be assessing this patient for which possible life-threatening

complications? - ANSWER Systemic emboli, especially to the brain



Systemic emboli develop and break off the mitral valve and travel into the vascular

system

A 34-year-old man who is an IV drug user has presented to the ED with malaise,

abdominal pain & lethargy. The health care team wants to rule out endocarditis as

a diagnosis. Staff of the department would most realistically anticipate which of the
