MODULE 3 2023/2024 WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
Blood pressure is measured using an instrument called - -answer-sphygmomanometer,
the first sound heard when listening during BP - -answer-Korotkoff sound
The Korotkoff sound corresponds to the - -answer-systolic value (top number) of the
patient's blood pressure.
eventually the sounds disappear, representing that the brachial artery is now completely
open. - -answer-diastolic value (bottom number) in a patient's blood pressure.
the persistent systolic blood pressure of greater than 130mm/Hg and/or diastolic blood
pressure greater than 80mm/Hg. - -answer-Hypertension
Hypertension is often ______ and is also considered___________ - -answer-An
asymptomatic disease; most common disease state worldwide
Normotensive Blood Pressure - -answer-<120/<80
Elevated Blood Pressure - -answer-120-129/<80
Hypertensive - -answer->130/>80
Stage 1 hypertension, - -answer-130-139/80-89
Stage 2 hypertension - -answer->140/90
also known as primary hypertension, is when the cause of the increased blood pressure
is unknown. - -answer-Essential hypertension
when a patient's elevated blood pressure is caused by another disease. - -answer-
Secondary hypertension
when a patient experiences a sudden drop in blood pressure when they change
positions (i.e. when going from a seated position to standing). - -answer-Orthostatic
hypotension,
Blood Pressure is determined by - -answer-cardiac output, blood volume, resistance to
flow
Cardiac output is determined by two factors: - -answer-heart rate (beats per minute) and
stroke volume (volume of blood pumped per contraction of the heart).

When the heart is the specific organ damaged by ischemia, it is termed - -answer-
ischemic heart disease.
SVR is determined by the - -answer-diameter of the blood vessel as well as the
musculature nature of the blood vessel.
An increase in any of the above factors: will result in a rise in blood pressure. - -answer-
heart rate, stroke volume or SVR
Associated factors of blood pressure include: - -answer-sodium intake, maintaining a
healthy weight, avoiding smoking, proper exercise, and minimizing stress.

resistance
defined as chest pain that occurs when the heart's supply of blood carrying oxygen is
insufficient to meet the demands of the heart. - -answer-Angina Pectoris
Angina is often a symptom of - -answer-Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).
