Test Bank Solution Manual for Patho Cardiovascular Already Passed
A patient is diagnosed with chronic pulmonary disease and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance.
Which of the following heart failures does the nurse assess for in this patient?
Left heart failure
Right heart failure
Low-output failure
High-output failure - Answers Right heart failure
Elevated right ventricular afterload related to pulmonary artery vasoconstriction from chronic
pulmonary disease can result in right heart failure, also known as cor pulmonale.
Which patient should be monitored most closely by the nurse for complications?
STEMI type heart attack
QRS type heart attack
Non-QRS type heart attack
Non-STEMI type heart attack - Answers STEMI type heart attack
Clinically, it is important to identify those individuals with STEMI because they are at highest risk for
serious complications and should receive definitive intervention without delay.

process of atherosclerosis?
Endothelial injury and release of cytokines
Formation of the fatty streak in the tunica media
Oxidation of LDL in the vessel wall
Thrombosis in the vessel lumen - Answers Endothelial injury and release of cytokines
Endothelial injury and the subsequent release of cytokines are the events that initiate atherosclerosis.
Which patient has the highest risk of coronary artery disease (CAD)?

Stroke volume is influenced by three major determinants: contractility, preload, and afterload.
When a nurse is describing the development of primary hypertension, which information is correct?
Increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity causes:
Increased SNS activity causes increased heart rate and systemic vasoconstriction, thus raising the blood
pressure.
A nurse is assisting the primary care provider to determine if a patient had a myocardial infarction.
Which lab should the nurse check?
Creatine phosphate (CK-MB) and Troponin 1
Cholesterol and HDL
