1. In veins and arteries:

A. The tunica adventitia is thinner than the tunica media.

B. The tunica adventitia is thicker than the tunica media in veins.

C. The tunica media is very thick in arteries.

D. The tunica media is very thick in veins.

2. Which of the following are true?

A. As a person inhales the pressure within the pleural cavities are reduced. Blood is pulled from the smaller veins of the abdominal cavity and lower body into the inferior vena cava and right atrium.

B. The pressure of the blood in the leg veins is lowest at the highest point.

C. The valves in the perforator connecting veins prevent the high pressure in the deep veins from being transmitted to the superficial veins.

D. Graduated compression therapy exerts a greater pressure at the thigh than at the ankle.

3. In a Doppler assessment:

A. Brachial systolic pressure need only be recorded in one arm.

B. The highest reading of at least two pulses on each leg should be recorded.

C. Calcification of arteries can cause a false low reading.

D. The patient should lie down for this assessment.

4. Doppler readings tell us which the following:

A. APBI is less than 1.

B. An ABPI of less than 0.9 indicates arterial disease.

C. Compression therapy should not be applied if the ABPI is less than 0.8.

5. The classes of compression hosiery as described by the NHS Drug Tariff (2001) are as follows:

A. Class 1 – light/mild support (14mmHg-17mmHg at the ankle).

B. Class 11 – Medium/moderate support (18mmHg-24mmHg at the ankle).

C. Class 111 – Strong support (25mmHg-35mmHg at the ankle).

6. When measuring for elastic hosiery the following measurements should be taken:

A. The ankle circumference at the thickest point.

B. The ankle circumference at the thinnest point.

C. The calf circumference at the widest point.
