test question 14 of 20
which symptom is consistent with cardiac - related chest pain?
a drooping face when smiling
b squeezing or heavy chest pain
c pinpoint pupils
d the patient is no longer breathing

Explanation:

• Option A: Drooping face when smiling is a sign of stroke (facial droop), not cardiac - related chest pain.
• Option B: Cardiac - related chest pain often presents as a squeezing, heavy, or pressure - like pain in the chest, which is consistent with the symptoms of a heart attack or other cardiac issues.
• Option C: Pinpoint pupils are typically associated with opioid overdose or other toxicological conditions, not cardiac - related chest pain.
• Option D: A patient not breathing can be due to many causes (like respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest later in progression), but the primary symptom of cardiac - related chest pain is the chest pain itself with characteristics like squeezing/heavy, not just not breathing.

Answer:

B. Squeezing or heavy chest pain
