At risk for Hypertension - correct answer-- Males
- Elderly
- African ancestry
Blood Pressure - correct answer-Force of blood against the walls of blood vessels
Blood Pressure Cuff Theory - correct answer-- Cuff stops arterial blood flow when inflated
- Korotkoff sounds are created by pulsing blood flow through compressed artery
- Blood flow is silent when artery isn't compressed
Blood Viscosity Decreases Because: - correct answer-- Anemia: Load that the heart works
against is lower so TPR decreases
- Hypoproteinemia: Plasma proteins go down so blood is thinner so TPR decreases
Diastolic Pressure - correct answer-BP during diastole
- ventricles relax
epinephrine and norepinephrine - correct answer-- Constrict most blood vessels, increasing
BP
- Dilate blood vessels in skeletal and cardiac muscle
Factors that impact BP - correct answer-- Drugs
- Caffeine
- Exercise
- Time of Day
- White Coat Syndrome
High Diastolic Pressure - correct answer-High resistance of small arteries
High Systolic Pressure - correct answer-Resistance the heart has to pump against is high
Hormonal Control (RAAS) - correct answer-- Low BP
- Angiotensinogen (hormone from liver)
- Kidneys release: Renin (enzyme that breaks down angiotensinogen)
- Angiotensin I forms
- ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme)
- Angiotensin II forms = vaosconstrictor + causes release of aldosterone
How does alcohol increase BP? - correct answer-- Activates SNS
- Releases angiotensin II = RAAS
- Impairs baroreceptor reflexes
- should have <2 drinks/day
How much sodium should we intake? - correct answer-1500-2000mg per day
How often should you monitor BP in prehypertensive clients? - correct answer-once a year
Hypertension - correct answer-- High blood pressure 140/90 or more
- Due to imbalance between CO/TPR
