1.

Cardiac output Is the blood volume with systolic

cardiac contraction.
2. What affects cardiac output.
- Peripheral vascular tone
- Neuropulmonary factors
3. Heart failure – cannot pump enough blood to meet
the body’s needs.
4. and symptoms of heart failure
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Swelling
- All of the above
5. If a patient can have heart failure without being
aware of it. – True
6. Risk factors of Heart Failure
- Medical history of disease, weight and age
7. Sudden onset of severe shortness of breathing and
coughing is called
- Orthopnea or Paroxysmal dyspnea
8. Increased respiratory muscle is due to
- Interstitial pulmonary edema
- Vessel enlargement
- Both
9. Mechanism Congestive Heart Failure
- To reduce afterload (pressure in the aorta)
10. Right sided or right ventricular failure result to left
sided heart failure. – True
11. Cause of Cardiomyopathy – Hypertension, infection
and diseases
12. Genetics is a disposing factor
- Duchemme muscular dystrophy
- Muscular atrophy
13. Not a result of activation – hyperplasia
14. Signs and Symptoms of Right VHF
- Accumulation of fluids
- Hepatomegaly
- Edema, anxiety, lethargy, agitation
15. Supine position reveals extended jugular veins –
Increase central venous pressure (10-12 normal)
16. A 55 years old – Heart Failure
17. Alter cardiac output – sleeping
18. ECG – T Waves – Ventricular Tachycardia
19. Blood Pressure and Peripheral Perfusion – frequent
immature ventricular contraction
20. Why caring sustained MI – notify the physician
21. Emergency lab, chest pain, physician, myoglobin –
myocardial infarction
22. A nurse, conduction of the heart
23. Inadequate blood volume - fluids
