25
t or f there is increased arterial compliance among the geriatric
f, decreased
26
Arteries are not complying since they're more _ → (increase/decrease) in BP
stiff, increase
27
s the pressure exerted by the blood to the blood vessel
BP
28
Rush of blood into the blood vessel will cause the blood vessels to ___
blood vessels dilate to accommodate which avoids ↑ BP
29
If the arteries don't accommodate in older pts, there's _ in BP
increase
30
why is there increased SBP?
d/t loss of patency of arteries resulting in increased pressure in the arteries
31
there will also be ventricular _ with impaired _ for cardiovascular changes among the geria
left, hypertrophy, filling
32
there is also Decreased _ in the cardiovascular
beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation response
33
t or f there is an increase in SA node automaticity in cardiovascular among geriatric patients
f, decreased SA node automaticity
34
what node can produce its own action potential to stimulate the heart
SA node
35
Predicts 60 beats per minute
SA node
36
it's not easy to excite the heart for geria since _ is decreased
beta-adrenergic
37
Decreased myocytes lead to
muscle weakness
38
t or f Exercise-induced adaptations are increased among the elderly
f, Exercise-induced adaptations are not as available to elderly

t or f there will also be increased sensitivity to catecholamines & impaired vasodilative responses
f, Decreased sensitivity to catecholamines & impaired vasoconstrictive responses
40
Impaired vasoconstrictive responses: seen in the
LE
41
LE vessels need to contract continuously for _ for the blood to circulate back to the heart
venous return
42
When the venous return is impaired & there is less blood pumping back to the heart, this results to _
hypotension
43
_ can be worn by the patient to facilitate in venous return which will lessen the chances of hypotensive episodes

49
is the air thats left thats not part of the gas exchange
residual capacity
50

51
Decreased appetite and energy intake leads to _
malnutrition
52
Smell and taste sensation may
decreased
53
Smell and taste sensation may decrease which leads to _
loss of enjoyment from eating
54
there is also gastric compliance
decreased
55
Decreased gastric compliance leads to _ and _
early satiety and prolonged postprandial satiety
56
decreased gastric compliance means _
