Question

Danika Price, a 42-year-old female patient with a history of persistently high blood pressure, or (l) , complained of intermittent pain sensations in the upper abdomen. Upon evaluation during which an x-ray was taken of the aorta, called a(n) (m) , it became apparent that the source of the pain was from abdominal spasms of the aorta wall, called (n) , due to an abnormal dilation of the vessel wall known as a(n) (o) . To prevent a possible rupture of the wall of the aorta, a surgical repair called a(n) (p) was scheduled. During the repair, an incision was made into the wall of the vessel in a procedure called a(n) (q) and the vessel wall received a stent to strengthen it. The patient made a complete recovery, and received education on ways to control her essential hypertension.
