Question 3 of 5
The spouse of a client who had an angioplasty following a heart attack says to the nurse, 'What is an angioplasty? It sounds like plastic surgery. My husband had a heart attack.' What information should be included in the nurse's response?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An angioplasty is the insertion of a balloon-tipped catheter into a coronary artery. The balloon is inflated, opening up the artery and increasing blood flow through the coronary artery to the heart muscle. Angioplasty does not repair heart damage. A left heart cardiac catheterization is the diagnostic procedure that precedes angioplasty. Answer 2 describes a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Delusions of grandeur, like claiming to be the 'Son of God,' often stem from low self-esteem, compensating with inflated self-perception. Religious conversion, stress, or anxiety are less likely causes.
