, 5. A new myocardial infarction patient requiring angioplasty and stent placement has arrived
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
to his first cardiac rehabilitation appointment. In this first session, a review of the
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
pathogenesis of coronary artery disease is addressed. Which statement by the patient
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
verifies to the nurse that he has understood the nurse's teachings about coronary artery
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
disease?
‗
A) ―All I have to do is stop smoking, and then I won't have any more heart attacks.‖
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
B) ―My artery was clogged by fat, so I will need to stop eating fatty foods like
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
French fries every day.‖
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
C) ―Sounds like this began because of inflammation inside my artery that made it ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
easy to form fatty streaks, which lead to my clogged artery.‖
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
D) ―If I do not exercise regularly to get my heart rate up, blood pools in the veins
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
causing a clot that stops blood flow to the muscle, and I will have a heart attack.‖
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
Ans: C ‗
Feedback:
The true etiology/cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown; however, the
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
pathogenesis of the disorder relates to the progression of the inflammatory process from a
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
fatty streak to the occlusive vessel lesion seen in people with coronary artery disease. Risk
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
factors for CAD revolve around cigarette smoking, diet high in fat, and lack of exercise.

6. A 77-year-old man is a hospital inpatient admitted for exacerbation of his chronic
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a respiratory therapist (RT) is assessing the
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
client for the first time. Which of the following aspects of the patient's current state of
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
health would be best characterized as a symptom rather than a sign?
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
A) The patient's oxygen saturation is 83% by pulse oxymetry.
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
B) The patient notes that he has increased work of breathing when lying supine.
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
C) The RT hears diminished breath sounds to the patient's lower lung fields
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
bilaterally. ‗
D) The patient's respiratory rate is 31 breaths/minute.
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
Ans: B
‗ ‗
Feedback:
Symptoms are subjective complaints by the person experiencing the health problem,
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
such as complaints of breathing difficulty. Oxygen levels, listening to breath sounds,
‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗ ‗
and respiratory rate are all objective, observable signs of disease.
