MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

A patient with heart failure is being monitored in a clinical setting. The nurse notices a sudden increase in the patient’s daily weight and mild swelling in the ankles. Using strategic reasoning, explain why these findings are significant and what actions should be taken next.

These findings suggest fluid retention, which may indicate worsening heart failure; the nurse should notify the healthcare provider and assess for additional symptoms.

These findings are normal and do not require any intervention.

The patient should be given more fluids to balance the weight gain.

The nurse should only monitor the patient’s blood pressure and ignore the weight change.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A patient reports new onset of chest pain and dizziness during a routine cardiovascular assessment. Using evidence and reasoning, what is the most appropriate next step for the healthcare provider?

Immediately assess vital signs and oxygen saturation, and prepare for possible acute cardiovascular intervention.

Advise the patient to rest and reassess in a week.

Ignore the symptoms if the patient’s weight is stable.

Only monitor the patient’s respiratory rate.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Why is it important to routinely assess symptoms such as dyspnea, edema, and changes in consciousness in patients with cardiovascular conditions? Use reasoning and planning to support your answer.

Early detection of these symptoms can prevent severe complications by allowing timely intervention.

These symptoms are always mild and do not require medical attention.

Routine assessment is only necessary for patients without a history of heart problems.

Monitoring these symptoms is less important than monitoring temperature.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A patient on cardiovascular medication misses a dose. As a healthcare provider, how would you strategically counsel the patient to ensure adherence and minimize risks associated with missed doses?

Advise the patient to double the next dose to make up for the missed one.

Instruct the patient on the importance of adherence, discuss what to do if a dose is missed, and emphasize not to double up doses without consulting a healthcare provider.

Tell the patient to stop taking the medication altogether.

Ignore the missed dose and continue as usual without any counseling.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

You are monitoring a patient on antihypertensive and diuretic therapy. What strategic steps would you take to identify and manage potential adverse effects?

Only check blood pressure occasionally and ignore other symptoms.

Observe and document for hypotension, monitor for electrolyte imbalances, and watch for signs of bleeding if on anticoagulants, adjusting care as needed.

Focus solely on the patient’s heart rate.

Advise the patient to self-monitor without providing any guidance.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

Why is the timing of medication administration particularly critical for cardiovascular drugs such as antianginals and antiarrhythmics, and how would you plan a medication schedule to maximize their effectiveness?

Timing is not important; medications can be taken at any time.

Timing is critical because it can significantly impact the effectiveness of cardiovascular medications; a planned schedule ensures optimal therapeutic effect and reduces risk of adverse events.

Medications should only be taken when symptoms appear.

The schedule should be based on patient preference alone.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

A patient with hypertension and heart failure is struggling to manage their condition. Using your reasoning skills, explain why dietary counseling focusing on low sodium, low cholesterol, and controlled fluid intake is particularly important for this patient.

These dietary changes help reduce blood pressure and fluid overload, which are critical in managing hypertension and heart failure.

These dietary changes only help with weight loss and have no effect on heart function.

High sodium and cholesterol are only related to diabetes, not cardiovascular disease.

Controlled fluid intake is only necessary for patients with kidney disease.
