Q

abnormal growth or tumor located in
the head of the pancreas, which is the part of the
pancreas closest to the small intestine and bile
duct. This mass can be either benign or
malignant (cancerous).

Q

Impaired flow of bile into intestines
* The blockage causes pressure to

Q

➔ Inner layer
➔ Enable blood to transport oxygen and
nutrients without getting absorbed until it
reaches the right spot.

A

Tunica Intima

23
Q

Middle layer
➔ Enable the aorta to meet the body’s
changing blood flow needs.

A

Tunica Media

24
Q

Outer layer
➔ Anchors the aorta in place

A

25
Q

HALLMARK SIGN of AAA
➔ Located in the umbilical region to the left of
midline

A

Pulsatile mass in the abdomen (Bruit)

26
Q

What is the first dysfunction that will occur with
regards to our patient’s modifiable and non-modifiable
factors?

A

➔ Endothelial dysfunction

27
Q

Tearing in one or more of the layers of
the wall of the aorta
o The most common and most lethal
complication involving the aorta

A

Aortic dissection

28
Q

the GOLD STANDARD to diagnose AAA.
➔ This uses an injection of contrast material into
your blood vessels

A

CT Angiogram/Angiography

29
Q

Also known as congestive heart failure
* A condition that develops when your heart doesn’t
pump enough blood for your body’s needs

A

Heart Failure

30
Q

Left-Sided Heart Failure:
* Symptoms:

A

Fluid accumulation in the lungs
(pulmonary edema) is a common feature.

31
Q

Fibrotic lungs, “stiff lungs”

A

Right-Sided Heart Failure:

32
Q

Right-Sided Heart Failure:
Manifesst

A

Fluid retention in the extremities
and organs of the body (peripheral edema) is a
hallmark

33
Q

Occurs when the left ventricle is unable to
contract strongly enough when the heart
beats.
* Also called heart failure with reduced
ejection fraction (HFrEF)
* Do not have a normal ejection fraction.

A

TWO TYPES OF LEFT-SIDED HEART FAILURE
1. Systolic failure

34
Q

TWO TYPES OF LEFT-SIDED HEART FAILURE
1. Diastolic failure

A

Occurs when the left ventricle cannot relax
properly between heartbeats.
* Also called heart failure with preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF)
* Normally have a normal ejection
fraction

35
Q

sound indicates left ventricular failure and is
considered an emergency situation.

A

s3 heart spund

36
Q

GOLD standard diagnostic test for heart failure
Elevated NT-proBNP indicates heart failure

A

NT‐proBNP (N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide)

37
Q

If FUROSEMIDE (IV push) is given TOO FAST
* May cause

A

Tinnitus & Hypotension

38
Q

If FUROSEMIDE is given TOO MUCH
* May cause

A

Nephrotoxicity (↑ BUN ↑CREA)
* May cause hypokalemia

39
Q

DIET for a patient with heart failure

A

Low salt and low-fat diet, Low fluid intake
* Patients with heart failure should limit sodium
intake to 2 to 3 grams or less per day
* Less than 2 L of fluid per day

40
Q

A patient with left-sided heart failure is having difficulty
breathing. Which of the following is the most
appropriate nursing intervention?

A

Assist the patient into High Fowler’s position
