Basic Cardiac

100

The heart muscle

What is the myocardium

200

Covers the heart muscle and prevents friction

What is the epicardium?

300

the SA (sinoatrial) node

What is the primary pacemaker of the heart

400

Increase the heart rate

What does the sympathetic nervous system do?

500

Decrease the heart rate

What does the parasympathetic nervous system do?

More Cardiac

100

The closure of the aortic and pulmonary valves

What is the "dubb" heart sound indicate

200

The closure of the tricuspid and mitral valves or AV valves

What does the "Lubb" heart sound indicate?

300

12 Lead rendering of the electrical activity of the heart

What is a 12 lead EKG?

400

ultrasound of the heart often used to determine heart function and EF (ejection fraction)

What is echocardiogram? 

500

What is cessation of heart function? 

What is cardiac arrest? 

Labs and Diagnostics

100

The hearts repetitive pumping process from the start of one heartbeat to the next 

What is the cardiac cycle 

200

Heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, red blood cells/hemoglobin 

What are the structures of the cardiac system

300

carry oxygenated blood to tissues

What are arteries 

400

Pregnancy, nutrition, obesity, exercise, tobacco use, substance abuse, medications, cardiovascular abnormalities 

What are factors affecting cardiovascular function 

500

measures blood pH, O2, CO2, HCO3 

What are ABGs 

Cardiac Meds

100

Slower heart rate, decrease blood pressure, reduce heart attack risk by 30% 

What is the expected/possible effects of beta blockers?

200

Meds end in "PRIL" and can help treat blood pressure and heart failure. 

What are ACE inhibitors? 

300

400

lower LDL cholesterol 

What are Statins? 

500

possible treatment plan for a pt. with CP. 

What is MONA ?

Nursing Process and Cardiac

100

Pain, fatigue, dyspnea, peripheral circulation, blood oxygenation, labs and cardiac monitoring

What is cardiovascular assessment ?

200

Cardiac function has decreased and we are at risk for impaired peripheral perfusion and cardiac tissue perfusion 

What is decreased cardiac output? 

300

ambulate 4 x per day, sit upright, administer medications 

What is nursing interventions for cardiac nursing diagnoses? 

400

Pt BP will be </= 120/80 by EOS 

What is a ST goal ?

500

Asking the pt. if he was able to walk to the bathroom without getting SOB. 

What is assessment and/or evaluation?
