Total questions: 35
Worksheet time: 18mins
Oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the left ventricle via the
right ventricle
aorta
capillaries
veins
About 55% of blood is made up of
erythrocytes
leukocytes
plasma
platelets
Which of the following is one of the functions that the circulatory system performs?
Senses and interprets information from the environment
cushions the brain and spinal cord
allows humans to reporduce
transports oxygen, nutrient and hormones to cells
A normal age-related change for the circulatory system is
heart pumps less efficiently
blood vessels widen
blood vessels become more elastic
blood flow increased
The term for high blood pressure is
myocardial infarction
hypotension
hypertension
peripheral vascular disease
One way for a person to keep hypertension under control and prevent complications is to
take medication to increase fluid in the body
increase the intake of sodium
stop smoking
avoid exercise
The medical term for chest pain, pressure or discomfort is
myocardial ischemia
angina pectoris
coronary artery disease
hypertension
Which of the following is true of residents who have angina?
residents need to reduce emotional stress as much as possible
CNA's need to give resident nitroglycerin
residents should eat large meals to stay satisfied
CNA's should encourage resident to exercise most of the time
One component of cardiac rehabilitation is
a diet high in sodium will be ordered
resident will be discouraged from exercising
a stress management program will be initiated
residents will be encouraged to smoke help deal with stress
The most common type of peripheral vascular disease/PVD is
phlebitis
myocardial infarction/MI
peripheral arterial disease /PAD
coronary artery disease/CAD
When should anti-embolic stockings be applied?
in the evening
in the morning
mid-afternoon
after residents have finished exercising
Residents with congestive heart failure may
be on a high-sodium diet
take medications that cause a decrease in urinary output
have a force fluids medical order
need to do range of motion exercise to improve muscle tone
The most common form of anemia
iron-deficiency anemia
hypoxia anemia
pernicious anemia
pulmonary anemia
A weakened heart muscle due to enlargement is
Coronary artery disease/CAD
Congestive heart failure/CHF
Cardiomyopathy
Carotid endarterectomy
A condition which the heart muscle is damaged and fails to pump effectively
cardiomyopathy
CHF
CAD
Myocardial ischemia
Phase where the heart muscle relaxes
systole
diastole
ischemia
hypoxia
Which of the following is not a symptom of CHF
SOB
orthopnea
decreased pulse
confusion
Blood build up resulting in swelling of the feet and ankles, and liver and abdomen to retain fluid is caused by
Right sided heart failure
left sided heart failure
hypoxia
anemia
Anemia is
low amount of leukocytes in the body
low number of platelets in the body
low number of RBC's in the body
low amount of plasma in the body
A condition when adequate oxygen is prevented from reaching the organs and tissues is
myocardial ischemia
orthopnea
hypoxia
unstable angina
Anti-embolic stockings are used for (choose all that apply)
sore legs
reduce fluid retention
increasing blood circulation
to help prevent blood clots
Symptoms of Peripheral arterial disease/PAD include all of the following except
pain in the legs
cyanotic hands or feet
chest pain
gangrene
Myocardial infarction/MI happens when heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen and dies
FALSE
TRUE
Which of the following readings is considered to be HTN
134/82
144/94
128/80
110/68
Your resident has VS of 134/76, P 110 RR 18 they show
HTN
bradycardia
tachypnea
tachycardia
Pre-hypertension is a condition which a person's systolic BP is
110-120
120-139
144-160
90-110
Myocardial ischemia is a condition which
heart muscle does not have enough sodium
heart muscle does not get enough blood
heart muscle has too much oxygen
heart muscle has too much blood
________________is considered to be the silent killer
CVA
unstable angina
HTN
occlusion
The function of the blood include all of the following except
control pH level
clots and fights pathogens and poisons
increases carbon dioxide to the cells
controls body temperature
Changes in the circulatory system due to aging ( choose all that apply)
heart pumps less efficiently
blood vessels narrow
blood vessels become less elastic
blood flow decreases
____________ is chest pain that occurs while a person is at rest
stable angina
unstable angina
Cardiomyopathy can be caused by a virus or drug and alcohol use.
TRUE
FALSE
If a resident is having angina pectoris it is appropriate for the CNA to give nitroglycerin if instructed to by the nurse
FALSE
TRUE
The pulmonary arteries carry ____________blood from the right ventricle to the lungs
oxygenated
de-oxygenated
venous
carbon dioxide free
The heart is the pump of the circulatory system
TRUE
FALSE
