Hypertension Nursing Questions With Answers Well Clarified (A+ Grade)

Document Content and Description Below

Quiz:> What is hemodynamics? {{{Answers}}} (Hemodynamics is the study of the forces involved in circulating blood throughout the body) Quiz:> What is arterial Blood Pressure? {{{Answers}}} (Arter... ial blood pressure is the driving force that moves blood through the arterial side of systemic circulation.) Quiz:> What is arterial pressure (AP)? How is it calculated? {{{Answers}}} (Arterial pressure (AP) is a product of Cardiac Output (CO) and Systemic Vascular Resistance (SVR) or peripheral resistance (PR). To calculate Arterial pressure you use the equation: AP=CO x SVR/or PR) Quiz:> What is cardiac output (CO)? How is it calculated? {{{Answers}}} (Cardiac output is determined by Heart Rate (HR) x Stroke Volume (SV) for one minute. CO=HR x SV) Quiz:> What is stroke volume (SV)? {{{Answers}}} (Stroke volume (SV) is the amount of blood ejected from the heart with each contraction.) Quiz:> What is systemic vascular resistance (SVR)? {{{Answers}}} (Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is the force opposing the movement of blood within the blood vessels (SVR or PR - Peripheral resistance)) Quiz:> What are five factors that affect arterial blood pressure? {{{Answers}}} (1. Cardiac Output (CO), 2. Elastic Recoil, 3. Peripheral Resistance (PR), Blood volume, Blood viscosity.) Quiz:> If CO = HR x SV, what three factors heavily influence SV (stroke volume) {{{Answers}}} (1. Preload, B. Afterload, C. Contractility) Quiz:> Stroke volume is affected by preload, what is preload exactly? {{{Answers}}} (Preload is the amount of blood volume in the ventricle at the end of diastole, just before the next contraction.) Quiz:> What is LVED pressure? (in relation to stroke volume) {{{Answers}}} (LVED pressure is: Left ventricular end diastolic pressure - the degree of stretch in the ventricle.) [Show More]
