NUR-504 Exam 1 with precise detailed solutions || || || || || ||
What is the first organ affected when there is a cardiac issue? - ✔✔Kidneys- the kidneys
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
require a lot of blood || || || ||
What is Central Venous Pressure (CVP)? - ✔✔It's the preload, comes into the blood from
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the right side of the heart
|| || || || ||
What's an A-line? - ✔✔a thin, flexible tube that is placed into an artery that takes the most
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
accurate blood pressure || ||
If the blood pressure is low, what is the CVP? - ✔✔low CVP
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
How do you increase CVP and increase BP? - ✔✔Constrict the vessels
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
What is the cardiovascular focused assessment? - ✔✔Med history, allergies,
|| || || || || || || || || ||
aspirin/anticoagulants, skin color, mouth, sclera, skin temperature, pulses || || || || || || ||
What is preload? - ✔✔what comes into right atrium from the body- aka CVP
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
What is the pathway of blood in the heart? - ✔✔Into right atrium (preload-what comes in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
aka CVP), goes to right ventricle, pulmonary arteries (only artery with deoxygenated blood-
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
MUST KNOW), goes into left atria, then left ventricle
|| || || || || || || ||
What is afterload? - ✔✔resistance left ventricle must overcome to circulate blood
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
throughout body ||
, 2
If CVP is high or BP is high, will there be a high resistance? - ✔✔Yes, more afterload
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Where is the A-line placed? - ✔✔Usually radial artery, hooked up to sensor that gives you
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the MAP
||
What are the normals for the MAP? - ✔✔65 or greater (heart is great)
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
What kind of blood is the pulmonary arteries carrying to the lungs? - ✔✔Deoxygenated
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
blood (she mentioned this multiple times!!)
|| || || || ||
What brings CVP up with extremely low BP? - ✔✔They need a constrictor
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
DOPAMINE FIRST LINE || ||
Norepi, epi, dopamine|| ||
What if someone's blood pressure is too high? - ✔✔vasodilator nitro- (Sublingual, IV)
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
What does dopamine do? - ✔✔constrict (fast acting)
|| || || || || || ||
What does dobutamine do? - ✔✔dilate (slow acting)
|| || || || || || ||
What is Levophed? - ✔✔norepinephrine
|| || || ||
What does inotrope mean? - ✔✔helps the heart pump
|| || || || || || || ||
What is the P wave? - ✔✔atrial depolarization/contracting- sinus node, also known as the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
sinoatrial node, creates an action potential
|| || || || ||
