COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Anemia correct answer: Reduction of the quantity of red blood
cells or hemoglobin.
Angina pectoris correct answer: Chest pain with the feeling of
suffocation usually due to deficiency of blood supply to the
myocardium resulting in ischemia to the myocardium, caused by
poor coronary circulation.
Anticholinergic correct answer: A drug that counteracts the
action of ecetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of the
parasympathetic nervous system and thereby counteracts the
parasympathetic nervous system.
Antiemetic correct answer: A drug that counteracts nausea and
vomiting.
Antisialogogue correct answer: A drug that counteracts the
production of saliva.
Anxiolytics correct answer: Drugs that reduce or dissolve
anxiety, agitation or tension.
Aorta correct answer: Very large artery receiving oxygen rich
blood from the left ventricle and distributed to the peripheral
circulation.
Artery correct answer: A vessel that carries blood away from
the heart.
Ascites correct answer: Accumulation of serous fluid in the
abdominal cavity can be associated with advanced cases of liver
disease or right sided heart failure.
Asystole correct answer: Cessation of all contractions of the
myocardium. Frequently follows arrest rhythms such as VTack.
or VFib. Also known as "flat line".
Ataractics correct answer: Pharmacologic agents that produce a
tranquilizing effect.
Atherosclerosis correct answer: A disease of the arteries
characterized by the deposition of plaque on their inner walls
which narrows the lumen and decreases the oxygen-bearing
blood supply to the myocardium
Atrial fibrillation (AFib.) correct answer: An atrial rhythm
originating from multiple ectopic foci in the atria characterized
by rapid randomized contractions of the atrial myocardium
causing a totally irregular baseline and irregular ventricular rate
with no P waves.
, Atrial flutter correct answer: An atrial dysrhythmia represented
by multiple flutter waves between each QRS on the ECG,
considered a more significant abnormal rhythm and warrants a
cardiovascular evaluation.
Atrial (supraventricular) rhythms correct answer: Dysrhythmias
in which the pacemaker originates from ectopic foci (instead of
the SA node) in the atria above the level of the ventricles.
Atrial tachycardia correct answer: Rapid heart rate originating
from the atria represented by a rate of 150-250, merged P and T
waves and a narrow QRS. AKA supraventricular tachycardia.
Atrioventricular block correct answer: The blockage of the
wave of depolarization from the SA node to the AV node
represented as no P wave, prolonged or variable PR interval or
missed beats. Rated by severity 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree.
Atrioventricular node correct answer: A microscopic bundle of
heart muscle fibers located at the base of the atria above the
ventricles responsible for transmitting the wave of
depolarization from the SA node to the bundle of his.
Autonomic nervous system correct answer: Part of the nervous
system that controls smooth muscle, heart muscle and glands.
We cannot consciously control this system but areas of the brain
and spinal cord do. Contains the sympathetic and
parasympathetic components.
Balanced anesthesia correct answer: Anesthesia that relies on
the use of several agents together to utilize the best aspects of
