A 65-year old female presents complaining of swelling in her legs. She also has occasional dyspnea. Findings include elevated jugulo-venous pulsation, hepatomegaly, and EF of 48%. Which of the following best accounts for this situation? Cor pulmonale Left systolic dysfunction Left diastolic dysfunction LV and RV failure Decompensated RV failure correct answers Decompensated right ventricle heart failure is most likely, left ventricular and right ventricular failure would be the second best ...

Describe myocardial remodeling and disease progression. Ventricular chamber enlarges and pressures increase increasing tension in ventricular muscle wall. High systolic pressures in the ventricle to overcome high afterload (arterial HTN, AV Stenosis). Describe pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of left-ventricular failure. Ineffective pumping results in pulmonary congestion. Backward effects: Dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea, cough, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, cyanosis, basilar ...

Advanced Patho HESI Questions and Answers Rated A+ The nurse hears short, high-pitched sounds just before the end of inspiration in the right and left lower lobes when auscultating a client's lungs. How should this finding be recorded? Fine crackles are short, high pitched sounds heard just before the end of inspiration that are the result of rapid equalization of pressure when collapsed alveoli or terminal bronchioles suddenly snap open. The nurse is assessing an older client and determines ...

Generalities of Congestive Heart Failure correct answers -Common end point of many forms of heart disease -2% of population in USA; 300,000 deaths -Impaired function renders heart unable to maintain output sufficient for metabolic requirements of body or when it can only do it at elevated filling pressures -Diminished cardiac output (forward failure) or accumulation of blood in venous system (backward failure) or both Initially adaptive compensatory mechanisms for congestive heart failure ...

Turner syndrome - ANSWER A chromosomal disorder in females in which either an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted. Tay-Sachs Disease - ANSWER A human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the accumulation of certain lipids in the brain. Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance usually become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within a ...
