GRADE GUARANTEED PASS

A middle-aged patient has a follow up visit for a recorded
blood pressure of 162/96 mm Hg taken 3 weeks ago. The
patient has no significant past medical history and takes
no medications, but smokes 1 1/2 packs of cigarettes per
day, drinks alcohol regularly, and exercises infrequently.
The patient is about 40 lbs. overweight and admits to a
high-fat, high-calorie diet. At the office visit today, the
patient's blood pressure is 150/92 mm Hg. What is the
least appropriate intervention for this patient at this time?

A. Encourage smoking cessation.

B. Recheck blood pressure in 4 to 6 weeks.

C. Begin lifestyle modifications.

D. Begin antihypertensive drug therapy. Correct Answer
D. Begin antihypertensive drug therapy.

Antihypertensive drug therapy is not the first
intervention in a person with modifiable risk factors.

,Therefore, lifestyle alterations are attempted first.
Lifestyle alterations include exercise, smoking
cessation, and weight loss. Blood pressure should be
rechecked in 4 to 6 weeks. Smoking cessation
counseling is an appropriate lifestyle alteration.

Diarrhea and other lower intestinal fluid losses will
contribute to:

A. Mixed acid-base disorders.

B. Metabolic acidosis.

C. Respiratory acidosis.

D. Metabolic alkalosis. Correct Answer B. Metabolic
acidosis.

Diarrhea results in loss of bicarbonate and leads to
metabolic acidosis. Loss of bicarbonate (a base)
would not lead to metabolic alkalosis. Respiratory
conditions lead to respiratory acid and base
disturbances; diarrhea is not a respiratory condition.
Bicarbonate loss through diarrhea would not lead to
any respiratory acid/base disturbance.

Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease.

T/F? Correct Answer True.

,A person who experiences a panic attack and develops
hyperventilation symptoms may experience:

A. Anxiety acidosis.

B. Acute compensatory metabolic acidosis.

C. Numbness and tingling in the extremities.

D. Neuromuscular depression. Correct Answer C.
Numbness and tingling in the extremities.

Numbness and tingling in the extremities occurs in
alkalosis as a result of increased neuromuscular
irritability. Numbness and tingling as a result of
hyperventilation result from increased neuromuscular
irritability, not neuromuscular depression. Acidosis
depresses neuromuscular irritability and thus would
not cause numbness and tingling, even in
compensation.

First-degree heart block is characterized by:

A. Variable PR interval.

B. Absent P waves.

C. Prolonged PR interval.

D. Widened QRS complex. Correct Answer C. Prolonged
PR interval.

, First-degree block is generally identified by a
prolonged PR interval (more than 0.20 second) on
ECG. P waves are not absent in first-degree heart
block. A widened QRS complex is associated with a
particular dysrhythmia, but not first-degree heart
block. A variable PR interval is found in type I second-
degree block.

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by:

A. Reduced CO.

B. Hypovolemia.

C. Elevated SvO2.

D. Reduced systemic vascular resistance. Correct Answer
A. Reduced CO.

Cardiogenic shock occurs primarily as a result of
severe dysfunction of the left or right ventricles, or
both, that results in inadequate cardiac pumping. The
low cardiac output state is associated with a high left
ventricular diastolic filling pressure. Cardiogenic
shock is not manifested by hypovolemia. Sympathetic
activation leads to increases in heart rate,
vasoconstriction, and a narrow pulse pressure. Low
cardiac output leads to reduced SvO2.
