CHF - correct answer Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur in which response below?
Increased CO - correct answer The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility - correct answer 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 - correct answer In dealing with a depressed pt during the first days post AMI the most appropriate nursing action would be:
change in mental status - correct answer 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) - correct answer The following monitor pattern would indicate that the pulmonary artery (swan ganz) catheter is in which position?
Aortic stenosis - correct answer A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called:
High to low - correct answer Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an arterial line?
8-10 minutes - correct answer After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should be applied to the artery for how long?
Right atrium - correct answer A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
Rt heart failure - correct answer An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
Lt ventricle - correct answer The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
11-20 - correct answer The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
6-12 - correct answer How many mmHg is the normal PAOP?
Lt ventricular failure - correct answer An elevated PAOP may indicate:
Diltiazem - correct answer 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 - correct answer A QRS complex wider that .12 sec most likely indicates:
Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis - correct answer Special care should be exercised when administering IV Dopamine because
T wave - correct answer A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands on the:
symptomatic complete heart block - correct answer indication for use of external cardiac pacemaker includes
Amiodorone 150mg IV over 10 min - correct answer Initial drug tx for sustained V tach when a pulse is present
Hazardous, as the ventricular rate may suddenly increase - correct answer The cardiac rhythm of A flutter is:
Establish Unresponsiveness - correct answer Upon recognizing V fib in an ICU, the next thing the nurse should do is:
Preparing for transcutaneous pacing - correct answer The tx in an emergency situation for complete heart block is:
Amiodarone, Cardizem, Cardioversion - correct answer Your pt has A flutter with a ventricular response of 150 bpm, therapy for this rhythm includes:
Bradycardia - correct answer Signs of cardiac tamponade do not include which response below?
150 - correct answer In the pt with V fib, the correct energy setting for the first defibrillation when using a biphasic defibrillator is how many joules?
Epinephrine - correct answer A pt becomes apnea and pulseless. The monitor shows systole. The drug that would most likely be used initially is:
Protamine sulfate - correct answer Antidote for Heparin
Thorough handwashing - correct answer Most important step in preventing central venous catheter related sepsis is:
150 - correct answer An excessive amount of chest tube drainage in the first few hrs following thoracic surgery is how many mL's/hr?
Normal values - correct answer A routine check of your patient's blood gas values show a pH of 7.40, pO2 of 98 mmHg, pCO2 of 38 mmHg, and HCO3 25 mEq. These results reflect:
120 mmHg of pressure - correct answer Before suctioning a pt, you adjust the vacuum pressure so that it is:
Atelectasis - correct answer Post op pt has a left anterior chest tube. When you auscultate the lung fields bilaterally, you hear diminished breath sounds in the right posterior bases. This would most likely be due to: [Show Less]
