HEART FAILURE NCLEX EXAM 3 LATEST VERSIONS 2024 ACTUAL EXAM 100 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |ALREADY GRADED A+
Which of the following patients are MOST at risk for developing heart failure? Select-all-that-apply:
A. A 69 year old male with a history of alcohol abuse and is recovering from a myocardial infarction.
B. A 55 year old female with a health history of asthma and hypoparathyroidism.
C. A 30 year old male with a history of endocarditis and has severe mitral stenosis.
D. A 45 year old female with lung cancer stage 2.
E. A 58 year old female with uncontrolled hypertension and is being treated for influenza. - Answer-A. A 69 year old male with a history of alcohol abuse and is recovering from a myocardial infarction.
C. A 30 year old male with a history of endocarditis and has severe mitral stenosis.
E. A 58 year old female with uncontrolled hypertension and is being treated for influenza.
The answers to this question are options: A, C, E. These patients are at most risk for heart failure. Remember risks factor for developing heart failure include: remember the mnemonic FAILURE: Faulty heart valves ( Option C mitral stenosis in this case), Arrhythmias, Infarction (Option A), Lineage, Uncontrolled hypertension (Option E), Recreational drug usage, Evaders (Option E with influenza)
A patient is being discharged home after hospitalization of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. As the nurse providing discharge teaching to the patient, which statement is NOT a correct statement about this condition?
A. "Signs and symptoms of this type of heart failure can include: dyspnea, persistent cough, difficulty breathing while lying down, and weight gain."
B. "It is important to monitor your daily weights, fluid and salt intake."
C. "Left-sided heart failure can lead to right-sided heart failure, if left untreated."
D. "This type of heart failure can build up pressure in the hepatic veins and cause them to become congested with fluid which leads to peripheral edema." - Answer-D. "This type of heart failure can build up pressure in the hepatic veins and cause them to become congested with fluid which leads to peripheral edema."
Option D is the answer. This is a description of right-sided heart failure NOT left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Left-sided systolic dysfunction is where the left side of the heart is unable to CONTRACT efficiently which causes blood to back-up into the lungs...leading to pulmonary edema.
Which of the following are NOT typical signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure? Select-all-that-apply:
A. Jugular venous distention
B. Persistent cough
C. Weight gain
D. Crackles
E. Nocturia
F. Orthopnea - Answer-B. Persistent cough
F. Orthopnea
The answers are B, D, and F. Persistent cough, crackles (also called rales), and orthopnea are signs and symptoms of LEFT-sided heart failure...not right-sided heart failure.
A patient is diagnosed with left-sided systolic dysfunction heart failure. Which of the following are expected findings with this condition?
A. Echocardiogram shows an ejection fraction of 38%.
B. Heart catheterization shows an ejection fraction of 65%.
C. Patient has frequent episodes of nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea.
D. Options A and C are both expected findings with left-sided systolic dysfunction heart failure. - Answer-D. Options A and C are both expected findings with left-sided systolic dysfunction heart failure.
The answer is D. Both Options A and C are correct. Option B is a finding expected in left-sided DIASTOLIC dysfunction heart failure because the issue is with the ability of the ventricle to FILL properly...therefore a patient usually has a normal ejection fraction. Remember a normal EF is >60% in a healthy heart.
True or False: Patients with left-sided diastolic dysfunction heart failure usually have a normal ejection fraction.
A. True
B. False - Answer-A. True
The answer is TRUE. Patient with left-sided DIASTOLIC dysfunction heart failure normally have a normal ejection fraction. However, patients with left-sided SYSTOLIC dysfunction heart failure usually do not because the heart is unable to CONTRACT efficiently rather than fill properly as with diastolic dysfunction.
