PROPHECY GENERAL ICU RN A V1 AND V2
2026 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION EXAMS
BUNDLED EXAMS FULL SOLUTION
◉ V-fib in relation to CO Answer: V-fib produces an ineffective
stroke, decreasing SV and CO.
◉ RV failure - treatment after RV MI Answer: Right sided
measurements are more related to fluid balance and build up of fluid
in the peripheral side. RV failure leads to insufficient LV preload. The
result is low SV and CO. Treatment involves fluid loading with
hypertonic fluids (3% saline, mannitol, 20% albumin)
◉ IABP optimal timing Answer: Inflation during diastole (AV
closure) and deflation during systole (QRS)
◉ IABP functions Answer: Decrease afterload and increase coronary
artery perfusion
◉ IABP waveforms Answer: Unassisted Systolic
Unassisted End Systolic
Assisted Diastolic
Assisted End Diastolic
