About Cardiovascular Disorders and Care
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This unit sits in the Medical-Surgical Nursing strand of Nursing. Its resources follow the cardiovascular system from assessment to treatment. You will find mind maps on Acute Myocardial Infarction, Atrial Fibrillation, Infective Endocarditis, Acute Pericarditis and HYPERTENSION, alongside notes on shock and central venous catheters.
Where to start
Begin with the basics of the heart and its rhythm. The Cardiac Telemetry flashcards ask about coronary artery perfusion, cardiac output, preload and the Frank Starling law. Then move to the ECG and EKG Basics decks, which prepare you for reading rhythm strips.
- Read a mind map such as Coronary Artery Disease to see causes, risk factors and plaque build-up in one view.
- Work through flashcards on the same topic to fix the key terms.
- Take a quiz to see what you still need to review.
Using quizzes and maps together
Quizzes here are mostly scenario questions. One asks which rhythm to expect in a client with mitral stenosis. Another asks how to respond when leads I, II and III differ on a rhythm strip. A third covers a patient with leg pain on walking that eases with rest. Each tests judgement, not only recall.
After a quiz, return to the matching map. For deep vein thrombosis, try the quiz on who is not at risk, then open the Deep Vein Thrombosis map to check the risk factors. For heart failure, compare the maps on Nursing Management of Heart Failure and Congestive Heart Failure.
Exam preparation
Some material is aimed at NCLEX-style study, including the NCLEX-Cardiac flashcards. Teachers can use the Cardiovascular Care slide set or pick quizzes for class revision. These are community-made, so check anything that matters against your own course.
Choose one topic today, try its quiz, then build a map or deck of your own to fill any gaps.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with the Cardiac Telemetry flashcards if you want the basics of cardiac output, preload and perfusion. If you prefer a quiz, the Critical Care Questions on mitral stenosis and the ECG lead question give a good sense of the scenario style used across this unit.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover conditions and care: Coronary Artery Disease, Acute Myocardial Infarction, Atrial Fibrillation, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Infective Endocarditis, Acute Pericarditis, Hypertension and septic shock. Several focus on nursing management of heart failure, so you can compare how different contributors organised the topic.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so it is worth checking details against your course materials.
Who are these resources suitable for?
They suit university students and professional candidates studying cardiac nursing, plus teachers looking for ready-made material. Most are university level, with a smaller share aimed at professional study. Some resources mention NCLEX, such as the NCLEX-Cardiac flashcards.
Is there anything on ECG and rhythm strips?
Yes. There are several flashcard decks on ECG, EKG Basics, EKG strips and Nursing strips, plus a Certification Prep_EKG quiz and notes on the classification of sinus rhythms. Use the decks for recognition practice, then test yourself with the dysrhythmia quizzes.
What if my topic is missing?
Look for a nearby topic first, as many maps and decks overlap. If nothing fits, you can make your own quiz, mind map, flashcards or notes with a free account, which also saves your quiz scores.
