Question 1

One study found that benefit finding among participants was associated with:&#10;A) greater glucose intolerance.&#10;B) greater insulin resistance.&#10;C) better adherence to diabetes management behaviors.&#10;D) greater cardiovascular reactivity.

Accepted Answer

The study found that benefit finding among participants was associated with better adherence to diabetes management behaviors. This suggests that finding positive aspects in the experience of diabetes may motivate individuals to take better care of themselves and adhere to recommended management behaviors. The other options (A, B, and D) are not supported by the study's findings.

Question 2

In _____________,a catheter is threaded into a leg artery up into the blocked coronary artery and a balloon at the tip is inflated.&#10;A) coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)&#10;B) coronary angioplasty&#10;C) atherecotomy&#10;D) coronary angiography

Accepted Answer

The description provided matches the procedure known as coronary angioplasty, where a catheter with a balloon at the tip is threaded into a blocked coronary artery and inflated to clear the blockage. The other options mentioned do not involve the use of a balloon catheter in this way.

Question 3

Cardiac patients who deny their anger risk earlier mortality than other cardiac patients.This finding supports Pennebaker's theory of:&#10;A) emotional denial.&#10;B) inhibition.&#10;C) catharsis.&#10;D) cognitive dissonance.

Accepted Answer

This finding supports Pennebaker's theory of inhibition, which suggests that suppressing or denying one's emotions can have negative consequences on health outcomes. Anger is a natural emotion, and denying it can lead to chronic stress, which can contribute to earlier mortality in cardiac patients. Emotional denial and cognitive dissonance are not directly related to Pennebaker's theory, and catharsis, while sometimes advocated, has not been consistently supported by research.

Question 4

Which of the following is NOT a symptom of Type 2 diabetes?&#10;A) blurred vision&#10;B) numbness in hands or feet&#10;C) unusual weight loss&#10;D) cuts that heal slowly

Accepted Answer

Unusual weight loss is not a symptom of type 2 diabetes. In fact, people with type 2 diabetes often experience weight gain or difficulty losing weight. Blurred vision, numbness in hands or feet, and cuts that heal slowly are all common symptoms of type 2 diabetes.

Question 5

Once blood pressure consistently exceeds __________,the condition is called hypertension.&#10;A) 120/80&#10;B) 130/90&#10;C) 140/80&#10;D) 140/90

Accepted Answer

Hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure consistently exceeds 140/90 mmHg. Choices A, B and C are all within normal blood pressure ranges.

Question 6

The &#34;toxic core&#34; of Type A behavior is that of:&#10;A) being controlling.&#10;B) feeling hostile and angry.&#10;C) always being in a hurry.&#10;D) being an overachiever.

Accepted Answer

The "toxic core" of Type A behavior is primarily characterized by feelings of hostility and anger. While being controlling, always being in a hurry, and being an overachiever are common traits of Type A behavior, they are not considered to be the "toxic core" of this personality type.

Question 7

Inflammation in the circulating blood,which is called _____________,can contribute to ___________.&#10;A) atherogenesis;systemic inflammation&#10;B) systemic inflammation;atherogenesis&#10;C) atherosclerosis;arteriosclerosis&#10;D) arteriosclerosis;atherosclerosis

Accepted Answer

Inflammation in the circulating blood is known as systemic inflammation, and it can contribute to atherogenesis, which is the formation of fatty deposits in artery walls leading to the development of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a form of arteriosclerosis, which is a broader term referring to any hardening and thickening of arteries. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Question 8

The heart muscle is known as the:&#10;A) endocardium.&#10;B) epicardium.&#10;C) myocardium.&#10;D) echocardium.

Accepted Answer

The myocardium is the middle layer of the heart, consisting of specialized muscle tissue responsible for pumping blood throughout the body. The endocardium is the innermost layer of the heart lining the chambers and valves, while the epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. Echocardium is not a recognized anatomical term.

Question 9

__________ lower total cholesterol by lowering both LDL and HDL cholesterol.&#10;A) Triglycerides&#10;B) Monounsaturated fats&#10;C) Saturated fats&#10;D) Carbohydrates

Accepted Answer

Triglycerides are a type of fat that can increase LDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol, while monounsaturated fats (such as those found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados) have been shown to lower total cholesterol by reducing LDL cholesterol without affecting HDL cholesterol. Saturated fats and carbohydrates can have varying effects on cholesterol levels depending on the type and amount consumed.

Question 10

The Framingham Heart Study used a(n)__________ research design.&#10;A) retrospective&#10;B) experimental&#10;C) prospective&#10;D) case-study

Accepted Answer

The Framingham Heart Study is a long-term observational study that began in 1948 and followed a cohort of participants over time, collecting data on various cardiovascular risk factors and outcomes. This type of study design is known as prospective, as it involves following a group of individuals forward in time to observe outcomes as they occur, rather than looking back in time to try to reconstruct events, which is the case with retrospective studies. Experimental designs involve intervention or manipulation of variables, and case-study designs focus on in-depth examination of a single individual or case, neither of which apply to the Framingham Heart Study. Therefore, the best choice is C) prospective.

Question 11

_____________ is the most accurate means of diagnosing coronary heart disease.&#10;A) Electrocardiogram (ECG)&#10;B) Exercise electrocardiogram&#10;C) Coronary CT scan&#10;D) Coronary angiography

Question 12

Blood glucose awareness training is similar in many ways to:&#10;A) aversive behavioral treatment.&#10;B) operant conditioning.&#10;C) biofeedback.&#10;D) negative reinforcement.

__________ is a chronic disease in which cholesterol and other fats are deposited on the inner walls of the coronary arteries,reducing circulation to heart tissue.&#10;A) Atherosclerosis&#10;B) Arteriosclerosis&#10;C) Atrial fibrillation&#10;D) Atrial flutter

Accepted Answer

The answer of __________ is a chronic disease in which...
