A nurse is asked what causes Prinzmetal angina.
How should the nurse respond? Prinzmetal angina is caused by:.

Choice A rationale:

The statement in Choice A does not indicate that the nurse needs more teaching about complications of sustained hypertension. It is a correct statement as it introduces the topic of complications related to hypertension.

Choice B rationale:

Choice B is not the answer. Retinal damage is a well-known complication of sustained hypertension. It can lead to conditions like hypertensive retinopathy, which is a common complication associated with high blood pressure. Therefore, this statement is accurate.

Choice C rationale:

Choice C is not the answer. Stroke is indeed a complication of sustained hypertension. High blood pressure can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of blood clots, leading to strokes. Therefore, this statement is correct.

Choice D rationale:

Choice D is not the answer. Renal disease is also a known complication of sustained hypertension. Hypertension can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to kidney problems. So, this statement is accurate.

Choice E rationale:

The correct answer is choice E. The statement in Choice E indicates that the nurse needs more teaching about complications of sustained hypertension. Anemia is not typically a complication of hypertension. Hypertension primarily affects the cardiovascular system, leading to issues like stroke, heart disease, and kidney problems. Anemia is more commonly associated with conditions like iron deficiency, chronic kidney disease, or bone marrow disorders. Therefore, the nurse should be educated that anemia is not a typical complication of sustained hypertension.

Choice A rationale:

Endothelial injury is a component of the Virchow triad. This statement is correct. The Virchow triad consists of three components that contribute to the formation of blood clots: endothelial injury, venous stasis, and a hypercoagulable state. Endothelial injury refers to damage to the inner lining of blood vessels, which can trigger the clotting process.

Choice B rationale:

LDL accumulation is not a component of the Virchow triad. This statement is incorrect. The Virchow triad does not include LDL accumulation as one of its components. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is related to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease but is not a part of the Virchow triad.

Choice C rationale:

Venous stasis is a component of the Virchow triad. This statement is correct. Venous stasis refers to the slowing or stagnation of blood flow in the veins, which can promote the formation of blood clots. It is one of the three components of the Virchow triad.

Choice D rationale:

A hypercoagulable state is a component of the Virchow triad. This statement is correct. A hypercoagulable state refers to a condition where the blood is more prone to clotting. It is one of the three components of the Virchow triad.
