Beta Blockers - Initial measures for the treatment of angina pectoris do not include which response below?
ST segment elevation - The classical ECG
... [Show More] change with muscle injury in acute myocardial infarction is:
CHF - Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur in which response below?
Increased CO - The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility - You receive orders to start nitroprusside and dobutamine in your patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy. How will this tx regimen affect CO?
Encourage the patient to ventilate his/her concerns - In dealing with a depressed pt during the first days post AMI the most appropriate nursing action would be:
change in mental status - Mr Seamore is receiving thrombolytics (TPA) 3 hrs after an AMI. Which of the following would most likely require discontinuing the infusion?
Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge) - The following monitor pattern would indicate that the pulmonary artery (swan ganz) catheter is in which position?
Aortic stenosis - A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called:
High to low - Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an arterial line?
8-10 minutes - After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should be applied to the artery for how long?
Right atrium - A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
Rt heart failure - An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
Lt ventricle - The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
11-20 - The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
6-12 - How many mmHg is the normal PAOP?
Lt ventricular failure - An elevated PAOP may indicate:
Diltiazem - Mr Adams, a 68 yo pt, c/o feeling "a little funny in his chest". His ECG shows Afib/flutter. Which of the following meds could be used to tx his cardiac rhythm?
BBB - A QRS complex wider that .12 sec most likely indicates:
Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis - Special care should be exercised when administering IV Dopamine because
T wave - A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands on the:
symptomatic complete heart block - indication for use of external cardiac pacemaker includes
Amiodorone 150mg IV over 10 min - Initial drug tx for sustained V tach when a pulse is present
Hazardous, as the ventricular rate may suddenly increase - The cardiac rhythm of A flutter is:
Establish Unresponsiveness - Upon recognizing V fib in an ICU, the next thing the nurse should do is:
Preparing for transcutaneous pacing - The tx in an emergency situation for complete heart block is:

150 - In the pt with V fib, the correct energy setting for the first defibrillation when using a biphasic defibrillator is how many joules?
Epinephrine - A pt becomes apnea and pulseless. The monitor shows systole. The drug that would most likely be used initially is:
Protamine sulfate - Antidote for Heparin
