Answer 8

holter monitor

Question 9

diminished blood supply to affected extremities with pulses decreased or absent; occurs with walking and is relieved by rest

Answer 9

occlusive peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

Question 10

atherosclerotic disease process that narrows the lumen of coronary arteries resulting in ischemia to the myocardium

Answer 10

Answer 15

unstable angina

Question 16

a self-report rating scale which ranges from no extertion at all to maximal exertion

Answer 16

Question 22

average amount of blood ejected per heart beat

Answer 22

stroke volume

Question 23

walls of immature lungs thicken, making exchange of oxygen and CO2 more difficult; complication of prematurity

Answer 23

bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Answer 33

emphysema

Question 34

what is a normal adult respiratory rate?

Answer 34

12-20 breaths per min

Question 35

prolonged ischemia, injury, and death of an area of the myocardium caused by occlusion of one or more of the coronary arteries

Answer 35

myocardial infarction

Question 36

percentage of blood emptied from the ventricle during systole; a clinically useful measure of left ventricle function

Answer 36

ejection fraction

Question 37

caused by vasospasm of coronary arteries in the absence of occlusive disease; responds well to nitroglycerin or calcium channel blocker long term

Answer 37

variant angina
