Heart Failure
Hypertension
100
This is a condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.
What is HYPERTENSION
100
The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure
What is TRUE
100
This is the greatest risk factor of heart failure
What is HYPERTENSION
100
Heart failure occurs when there is a weakened ventricular muscle that unable to sufficiently pump blood into the arterial circulation to meet the needs of the tissues
What is TRUE
100
Hypertension can be classified as either ____________ or ________________
What is PRIMARY or SECONDARY
200
This is a chronic, progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood through to meet the body's needs for blood and oxygen.
What is HEART FAILURE
200
The _______ is both the contributing and the target organ of the hypertensive processes
What is THE KIDNEY
200
This refers to how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart beats
What is SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE OR SYSTOLE
200
This refers to how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart is resting between beats.
What is DIASOTLE or DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE
200
This is classified as ____________ hypertension when the blood pressure is 140-159/90-99
What is STAGE 1
300
This is dyspnea that occurs when lying flat, causing the person to have to sleep propped up in bed or sitting in a chair.
What is ORTHOPNEA
300
Treatment for hypertension focuses initially on lifestyle modifications. Name 3 of these
What is STRESS REDUCTION, DIET, EXERCISE, SMOKING CESSATION, DECREASED ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, MEDICATIONS

According to the New York Heart Association's functional classification scale for heart failure, if a patient exhibits no symptoms with physical activity or has no limitations with activity, they are considered to be in which stage of heart failure?
What is CLASS ONE
300
During this type of heart failure, your patient will typically be tachypneic, have fatigue, complain of nocturnal dyspnea, have an altered mental status, have pulmonary congestion and frothy sputum
What is LEFT SIDED HEART FAILURE
300
Factors that play an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension include which (name 3)
What is GENETICS, ACTIVATION OF THE NEURO-HORMONAL SYSTEMS SUCH AS THE SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AND RENIN-ANGIONTENSION ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM, OBESITY, INCREASED DIETARY SALT INTAKE
400
this is also called postural hypotension — is a form of low blood pressure that happens when you stand up from sitting or lying down.
What is ORTHOSTATIC HYPOTENSION
400
When measuring your patient's blood pressure in the clinic, name 3 things must you assure for an accurate reading?
What is HAVE PATIENT BE SEATED FOR 5 MINUTES, UNCROSS LEGS/FEET, AVOID CAFFEINE OR EXERCISE 30" BEFORE, USE THE CORRECT SIZE CUFF, SUPPORT THE ARM
400
Name 5 major risk factors for developing heart failure
What is AGE, ETHNICITY (AFRICAN AMERICAN), FAMILY HX/GENETICS, DIABETES, ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE, OBESITY, HTN, SMOKING, SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE, CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS, SLEEP APNEA, ALCOHOL ABUSE, VIRUSES, KIDNEY CONDITIONS
400
In right sided heart failure, name 5 symptoms your patient may display
What is FATIGUE, WEAKNESS, JUGULAR VENOUS DISTENSION, DEPENDENT EDEMA, ASCITES, NOCTURIA, ANOREXIA, HEPATOMEGALY, SPLENOMEGALY, WEIGHT GAIN, EDEMA IN FINGERS AND HANDS
400
Name or list 4 classifications of medications used to treat hypertension
What are THIAZIDE DIURETICS, ACE INHIBITORS, ANGIOTENSIN II RECEPTOR BLOCKERS, CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS, BETA BLOCKERS, RENIN INHIBITORS
500
This is a measurement of the percentage of blood leaving your heart each time it contracts. During each heartbeat pumping cycle, the heart contracts and relaxes. When your heart contracts, it ejects blood from the two pumping chambers (ventricles). When your heart relaxes, the ventricles refill with blood.
What is EJECTION FRACTION
500
In primary hypertension, there is a mnemonic for remembering the associated risk factors. What are the FACTORS?
What is FAMILY HEALTH, ADVANCED AGE, CHOLESTEROL ELEVATED, TOO MUCH CAFFEINE INTAKE, OBESITY, RESTRICTING ACTIVITY, SLEEP APNEA
500
Name 5 nursing interventions that are important when caring for a patient who is in heart failure
What is MONITOR I&O, DAILY WEIGHT, ASSESS FOR SOB AND DYSPNEA, VS, HIGH FOWLER'S POSITIONING, ENCOURAGE PERIODS OF REST, GIVE MEDICATIONS AS ORDERED, DIETARY RESTRICTIONS (SODIUM) AND PROVIDE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO PATIENT AND FAMILY
500
This is made by your heart and shows how well your heart is working. Normally, only a low amount of this is found in your blood. But if your heart has to work harder than usual over a long period of time, such as from heart failure, the heart releases more of this, therefore increasing the level
What is BRAIN NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE (BNP)
500
These are the 5 complications of hypertension ("The 5 C's")
What is CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE, CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE, CARDIAC ARREST, CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT
