Question 2

A lumen is a(n)

Accepted Answer

A lumen is the space within a tubular part or organ, such as the inside space of a blood vessel or the digestive tract.

Question 3

A test to monitor anticoagulation therapy is

Accepted Answer

PT (prothrombin time) is a blood test that specifically measures the effectiveness of anticoagulation therapy, such as warfarin. It measures the time it takes for the blood to clot and is used to determine the proper dosage of anticoagulant medication. CBC, HCT, and Hgb are not specific tests for monitoring anticoagulation therapy.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Anaphylaxis is an exaggerated and potentially life-threatening reaction to a previously encountered antigen (allergen). It can result in symptoms such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the mouth and throat, low blood pressure, and shock. Antibodies are proteins that the immune system produces in response to antigens. An allergen is a substance that triggers an allergic reaction. Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the body's own tissues.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

A vasodilator is a substance that causes the smooth muscles in the walls of blood vessels to relax, thereby increasing the diameter of the blood vessels (lumen). This enlargement of the blood vessels leads to a decrease in blood pressure.

Question 6

The term blood dyscrasia is defined as

Accepted Answer

Blood dyscrasia is a term used to describe any pathological condition that affects the blood. It can refer to abnormalities in the number or function of blood cells, as well as issues with the composition or clotting ability of the blood. This term is often used to describe blood disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and thrombocytopenia.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhage is the correct spelling. It refers to rapid loss of blood. Choice A, B, and C have misspelled the term.

Question 8

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 a disorder of the heart caused by persistent high blood pressure.

Question 9

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

Accepted Answer

The abbreviation "ECG" stands for "electrocardiogram," which is a record of the electrical activity of the heart. Options A, B, and D stand for "coronary artery bypass grafting," "deep vein thrombosis," and "hypertensive heart disease," respectively, and are not related to the recording of the electrical activity of the heart.

Question 10

The term systole is defined as

Accepted Answer

Systole refers to the phase in the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles contract, forcing blood out of the heart and into the arteries. This is in contrast to diastole, which is the phase in which the ventricles relax and fill with blood. Therefore, choice B is the correct definition of systole. Choice A refers to blood pressure, but not specifically to the contraction phase of the heart. Choice C refers to low blood pressure, which is not directly related to the contraction phase of the heart. Choice D refers to diastole, not systole.

Question 11

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, which is a type of nuclear medicine imaging that produces 3D images of organs, including the heart, by detecting gamma rays emitted from a radioactive tracer. SPECT can capture images of the heart from various angles, allowing doctors to assess its function and blood flow. Therefore, A) SPECT is the best choice for the given description. 
B) PTCA stands for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, which is a medical procedure to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. C) HCT stands for hematocrit, which is a measure of the percentage of red blood cells in the total blood volume. D) DSA stands for digital subtraction angiography, which is a type of X-ray imaging that produces detailed images of blood vessels by subtracting the images of structures outside the vessels. None of these options match the given description.

Question 13

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

Accepted Answer

Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is a concern after coronary artery bypass surgery because it could indicate that the vein used for the bypass has collapsed or become blocked. Monitoring blood pressure and ensuring it does not drop too low is an important part of postoperative care for these patients. Venipuncture (drawing blood from a vein), vaccines, and hypertension (high blood pressure) are not directly related to the concerns about vein collapse postoperatively.

Question 14

To evaluate the patient's anemia, the hematologist recommended a needle puncture to remove bone marrow for study or a

The answer of To evaluate the patient's anemia, the hematologist...

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

ACS stands for acute coronary syndrome, which refers to sudden symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart, such as angina or heart attack. RBC stands for red blood cell, CHF stands for congestive heart failure, and CCU stands for coronary care unit.

Question 16

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 surgical procedure used to bring a new blood supply to the heart muscle by detouring around the obstructed arteries. PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty) is a less invasive procedure where a balloon is used to widen the artery from the inside. IPG and SPEC are not relevant options in this context.

Question 17

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. This procedure involves the insertion of a catheter into a blood vessel in the arm or leg and threading it up to the heart. Contrast dye is then injected into the coronary arteries, and X-rays are taken to visualize any blockages or narrowing in the vessels that could be causing the patient's symptoms. Venography is a test that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize the veins, phlebotomy is the removal of blood for testing, and thrombolysis is a procedure to dissolve blood clots. None of these options would be appropriate for further defining the etiology of the patient's symptoms in this case.

Question 18

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 condition in which bacteria or other infectious agents enter the bloodstream, causing a systemic inflammatory response. This can lead to organ damage and failure, and even death. Phagocytosis refers to the process by which immune cells engulf and destroy pathogens. A vaccine is a substance that stimulates the immune system to produce a protective response against a specific pathogen. Immunodeficiency refers to a condition in which the immune system is weakened, making the individual more vulnerable to infections.

Question 19

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. Fibrillation is a condition where there is rapid and irregular contractions of the heart muscles. Heart murmur refers to abnormal sounds heard during the heartbeat, which can be caused by a variety of factors including valve disorders.
