Concept explainers
To determine:
Whether an individual carries the organ donor card.
Introduction:
An organ donor card is a card carried by an individual to show that the body organ specified on it can be used for transplants after the individual death. One card is authorized to only one person; it authorized the use of one’s body organs for transplantation in the situation of one’s death.
To determine:
The reason for accepting this step.

- why cardiac therapy is for the worst?arrow_forwardtwo 50-year-old men are trying to determine their risk for developing arteriosclerosis. John jogs three times a week, maintains a healthy weight and eats a diet low in saturated fats. Thomas rarely exercises, is overweight, and only occasionally eats healthy meals. Based on your knowledge of the cardiovascular system and atherosclerosis, which man do you think is more at risk for developing the disease? What other factors could put a person at risk for arteriosclerosis?arrow_forwardDescribe how the healthcare team differentiates between myocardial infarction and angina. There should be a minimum of 3 waysarrow_forward
- You are assigned to care for an 80-year-old man admitted to the hospital yesterday with acute coronary syndrome who had an emergent percutaneous coronary intervention with a stent placement. When you walk into his room, he states, “That last nurse gave me a medication I don’t think I was supposed to have. She told me it was metoprolol, but it looked different from the metoprolol I got yesterday.” You note that the patient’s heart rate is now 56 beats per minute (bpm), although the previous day it had been between 72 and 88 bpm. According to the patient’s chart, he received the prescribed dose of metoprolol 4 hours ago. The prescribed dosage of this medication was not changed; it was the same yesterday. What actions should be taken? Should this information be communicated to your supervisor? What is the care priority for the patient? What evidence supports or does not support disclosure of medication administration errors to patients? What steps would you take and in what orderarrow_forwardWhat would you do to confirm that genetics is involved with familial hypertension and atherosclerosis? Explain your answer in 3-5 sentences.arrow_forwardHemostasis is a quick and localized sequence (cascade) of events that helps to prevent a hemorrhage from occurring when a blood vessel is damaged. Hemostasis involves – amongst other things – the formation of a platelet plug. Describe the three steps involved in the formation of a platelet plug. What complication may arise if a platelet plug (thrombus) were to detach and travel through the circulatory system? How does Aspirin help prevent a thrombus from occurring?arrow_forward
- Which cardiac marker is elevated for the longest period after myocardial infarction (MI)? 1) Troponin I 2) CK-MB 3) Myoglobin 4) Troponin T no references, just homeworkarrow_forwardIdentify whether the following statement is either true or false. Left ventricle->Left atrium->Right ventricle->Right atrium is the correct sequence for blood entering the heart through the vena cavae and leaving through the aorta. The sinoatrial node is situated in the wall of the interventricular septum. Impulses through the conduction system of the heart follow the ordered path: SA node->conduction myofibers->AV bundle->AV node. To clearly hear the heart sound of the bicuspid valve, a stethoscope should be placed to the left of the sternum at the second intercostal space. At late diastole, the atria and ventricles are relaxed and the aortic semilunar valve is open. During ventricular contraction all the blood is forced out of the ventricles.arrow_forwardList the eight (8) blood types. 2 points Which blood type is the universal recipient? 1 point Why is the blood type from number 2 considered the universal recipient? 2 points Which blood type is the universal donor? 1 point Why is the blood type from number 4 considered the universal donor? 2 points What would happen if an individual is given a blood type that is not compatible with their blood type? 2 pointsarrow_forward
- Look at the answer and give the reason for answer. Write why the answer is the answer. Q 6 - What are the implications for ventricular filling? Answer: The ventricles will fill with less blood. Q 7 - In a healthy heart, which of the following serves as pacemaker for the conduction system? Answer: SA node Q 8 - Based on information provided in this chapter, what happens to the cardiac output of a patient following an MI? Answer: The cardiac output is decreased. Q 9 - Based on information provided in this chapter, what are the main goals of drug therapy in patients following MI? Answer: decreasing the afterload and decreasing the end systolic ventricular volumearrow_forwardYour 70-year-old neighbor, Mr. Michael, tells you he has been diagnosed with a second degree heart block. The physician told him he would need a pacemaker implanted. He knows you are a registered nurse and he wants you to explain pacemakers to him. He is worried he will not be able to use a cell phone. Describe for Mr. Michael what a pacemaker is and what precautions, if any, he has to take after the pacemaker is implanted.arrow_forwardTia developed Rheumatic heart disease when she was 19 years old that caused stenosis of her mitral valve. Long-standing mitral stenosis led to left atrial enlargement. She is 29 now and her cardiologist, Dr. Irma Wu, advised her replacement of the mitral valve. According to her doctor, after the valve replacement, she would require life-long blood thinners. Using your knowledge of physiology, explain how can clot formation be prevented prophylactically? Knowing ECG. Do you think you can predict atrial enlargement from ECG? Why or why not? Support your answer with reasoning.arrow_forward
