Question 1

Which of the following is the correct spelling of the term which means rapid loss of blood?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhage is the correct spelling of the term which means rapid loss of blood. Option A, B, and C are misspellings of the term.

Question 2

Because of one completely and two partially obstructed arteries, the patient was scheduled for surgery to bring a new blood supply to the heart muscle by detouring around the obstructed arteries called

Accepted Answer

CABG stands for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting, which is a surgery that detours blood around obstructed arteries to improve blood supply to the heart muscles. PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty), IPG (implantable pulse generator), and SPEC (single-photon emission computed tomography) are not relevant to this situation.

Question 3

The patient had shortness of breath and pain radiating down his left arm.An EKG showed abnormalities.To further define the etiology of the patient's symptoms, the cardiologist ordered cardiac catheterization, also called coronary

Accepted Answer

Cardiac catheterization is also called coronary angiography, which is a procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and diagnose any blockages or narrowing that may be causing the patient's symptoms. Angioscopy involves using a tiny camera to visualize the inside of blood vessels, which is not typically done during cardiac catheterization. Phlebotomy is the process of drawing blood, and thrombolysis is a treatment to dissolve blood clots, neither of which is directly related to the diagnostic procedure being described.

The term systole is defined as

Accepted Answer

Systole is a phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles contract and eject blood.

Question 7

The abbreviation for disorder of the heart brought about by persistent high blood pressure is

Accepted Answer

HHD stands for hypertensive heart disease, which is the disorder of the heart brought about by persistent high blood pressure. MI stands for myocardial infarction, which is a heart attack. AFib stands for atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular heartbeat. DVT stands for deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot in a deep vein.

Question 8

A lumen is a(n)

Accepted Answer

A lumen is the space inside a tubular part or organ, such as a blood vessel or intestinal tract. It is where substances or fluids pass through.

Question 9

A test to monitor anticoagulation therapy is

Accepted Answer

PT (prothrombin time) is the test used to monitor anticoagulation therapy. It measures the time it takes for a patient's blood to clot and is used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant medications such as warfarin. CBC, Hct, and Hgb are tests used to monitor blood cell counts and are not specific to anticoagulation therapy.

Question 10

The abbreviation for record of the electrical activity of the heart is

Accepted Answer

ECG stands for electrocardiogram, which is a graph of the electrical activity of the heart. CABG (coronary artery bypass graft), DVT (deep vein thrombosis), and HHD (hypertensive heart disease) do not relate to recording the electrical activity of the heart.

Question 11

The abbreviation for sudden symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart is

Accepted Answer

ACS stands for acute coronary syndrome, which refers to a group of sudden symptoms that occur due to insufficient blood supply to the heart. RBC stands for red blood cells, HF stands for heart failure, and CCU stands for coronary care unit, which is a specialized hospital unit for treating cardiac patients.

Question 12

The term blood dyscrasia is defined as

Accepted Answer

Blood dyscrasia refers to a pathological condition of the blood, which can include abnormalities in the number, shape, or function of different components of the blood, such as red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. It can result from a variety of causes, including genetic disorders, infections, autoimmune diseases, medication side effects, and exposure to toxins. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the underlying condition and the extent of the blood abnormalities. Treatment may involve managing the underlying cause, supportive care, and medications such as blood transfusions, immunosuppressants, or chemotherapy.

Question 13

The abbreviation for a nuclear medicine scan that visualizes the heart from several different angles is

Accepted Answer

SPECT stands for single-photon emission computed tomography and is a type of nuclear medicine scan that can visualize the heart from multiple angles, allowing for a detailed 3D image of the heart's structure and function. PTCA stands for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and is a procedure to reopen blocked arteries in the heart. TEE stands for transesophageal echocardiogram and is a test that uses sound waves to create images of the heart from inside the esophagus. DSA stands for digital subtraction angiography and is a type of X-ray imaging used to visualize blood vessels.

Question 14

Blood pressure may be reduced with the use of an agent that enlarges the lumen of blood vessels, or a

Accepted Answer

A vasodilator is a medication or natural substance that relaxes the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, which causes the vessels to widen or dilate. This increases the lumen or space within the blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.

Question 15

A condition in which pathogenic microorganisms, usually bacteria, enter the bloodstream, causing a systemic inflammatory response to the infection is called

Accepted Answer

Sepsis is a serious medical condition in which bacteria or other infectious agents have entered the bloodstream, causing a systemic inflammatory response to the infection. It can lead to widespread tissue damage, organ failure, and in severe cases, death. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells in the body engulf and digest foreign particles, such as bacteria. A vaccine is a substance that stimulates the body's immune system to produce an immune response to a specific pathogen, which can help protect against future infections. Immunodeficiency is a condition in which the body's immune system is weakened or compromised, making it more susceptible to infections.

Question 16

To evaluate the patient's anemia, the hematologist recommended a needle aspiration to obtain a sample of bone marrow for study or a

Accepted Answer

A needle aspiration refers to the extraction of a small amount of liquid bone marrow. A bone marrow biopsy, on the other hand, entails removing a small amount of solid bone marrow tissue. The doctor can then examine the bone marrow for abnormalities that may be causing the anemia. This helps to determine the underlying cause of the anemia and how best to treat it.

Question 17

The phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles relax between contractions is called

Accepted Answer

Diastole is the phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles relax between contractions. Systole is the phase in which the ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart. Fibrillation is a type of abnormal heartbeat and vasodilator refers to a medication that widens blood vessels.

Question 18

An exaggerated life-threatening reaction to a previously encountered antigen is called

Accepted Answer

Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction to a previously encountered antigen (allergen). Antibodies are proteins that are produced by the immune system to fight off foreign substances. An autoimmune disease is a condition where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues.

Question 19

Following illness with rheumatic fever, the child began showing signs of narrowing of the mitral valve from scarring or

Accepted Answer

Rheumatic fever can lead to scarring and narrowing of the mitral valve, a condition called mitral valve stenosis. Tachycardia refers to a rapid heartbeat, which may or may not be present in mitral valve stenosis. Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, and aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve, neither of which are directly related to rheumatic fever.

Question 20

Because the collapse of a vein following coronary artery bypass surgery may occur, a significant concern in the care of these patients postoperatively is a blood pressure reading below normal or
