A nurse is discussINg the pressure generated at the end of diastole. Which term is the nurse describINg? Preload Afterload Systemic vascular resistance Total peripheral resistance ANSWERS A Preload, not afterload, is the volume and associated pressure generated IN the ventricle at the end of diastole. Afterload is the resistance to ejection of blood from the left ventricle. Systemic vascular resistance is related to afterload. Total peripheral resistance INcreases afterload. R...

Optimal perfusion (normal functioning) - strong heart to pump to entire body -all pathways clear w/out obstruction -good arterial flow, no blockages -good vein function, valves return blood back to heart -blood viscosity optimal for flowing thru vascular system -RBCs to carry oxygen and nutrients -optimal blood pressure & optimal hydration Optimal blood pressure - a mean arterial pressure of 60 is necessary to perfuse coronary arteries, brain & kidneys Previous Play Nex...

BSNC 6000 Module 1 Midterm Review Questions What are the effects of hypertension on macrocirculation? - Answer--Hypertension causes injury to the endothelial layer of the arteries which leads to plaque formation. Plaque restricts blood flow and can lead to ischemia. Plaque also weakens artery walls thereby increasing the risk of an aneurysm -Hypertension increases resistance to blood flow to the tissues. As a result, the heart pumps harder to overcome the resistance. A chronic increase in the...

Generalities of Congestive Heart Failure correct answers -Common end point of many forms of heart disease -2% of population in USA; 300,000 deaths -Impaired function renders heart unable to maintain output sufficient for metabolic requirements of body or when it can only do it at elevated filling pressures -Diminished cardiac output (forward failure) or accumulation of blood in venous system (backward failure) or both Initially adaptive compensatory mechanisms for congestive heart failure ...
