Cardiac
This condition occurs when the left ventricle fails to pump effectively, causing pulmonary congestion.
left‑sided heart failure
This chronic lung disease is commonly associated with smoking and airflow limitation.
COPD
This type of immunity is acquired through antibodies received from another source.
Passive Immunity
This blood clot typically forms in the legs.
deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
This test evaluates the heart’s electrical activity and rhythm.
ECG (electrocardiogram)
This rhythm is characterized by a heart rate less than 60 beats per minute originating from the SA node.
sinus bradycardia
This medication class relaxes bronchial smooth muscle to improve airflow.
Bronchodilators
This autoimmune disease causes systemic inflammation and multi‑organ involvement, usually shown by a butterfly rash
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
This condition involves plaque buildup within arterial walls, increasing risk for CAD.
atherosclerosis
This respiratory emergency may be triggered by anesthesia and causes rapid temperature rise and muscle rigidity.
malignant hyperthermia
This medication is commonly prescribed for angina and works by dilating coronary arteries.
nitroglycerin
This test is used to screen for tuberculosis exposure.
What is the purified protein derivative (PPD) test?
This medication is life‑saving during anaphylaxis.
What is EpiPen (epinephrine)
This condition increases infection risk due to low neutrophil count.
neutropenia
This lab value is a key marker used to diagnose myocardial infarction
troponin
This life‑threatening rhythm requires immediate defibrillation and has no organized cardiac output.
ventricular fibrillation
This acid–base imbalance occurs with hyperventilation and decreased CO₂ levels.
Respiratory Alkalosis
This viral infection attacks CD4 cells and weakens the immune system.
HIV
This condition results from inadequate oxygen‑carrying capacity of the blood and may present with fatigue and pallor
Anemia
This anticoagulant requires INR monitoring and has dietary considerations related to vitamin K.
warfarin
This invasive diagnostic procedure visualizes coronary arteries and may require post‑procedure bleeding precautions.
cardiac catheterization
A patient with COPD is at highest risk for developing this acid–base disorder.
Respiratory Acidosis
This therapy provides pooled antibodies for immune support.
intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
This is the most serious complication of a DVT and occurs when a clot travels to the lungs.
pulmonary embolism (PE)
This lab finding helps evaluate inflammation and autoimmune activity.
erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
