CCTC PACKAGE DEAL STUDY GUIDE 2026
QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ Noepinephrine drip order. Answer: -Central line preferred
-Start 0.01mcg/kg/min (max 1mcg)
-Goal is MAP ≥ 65 mmHg
-Montior: Continous BP (a-line perferred)
⩥ Diuretics. Answer: -Decreased volume overload (preload)
-For HF
⩥ Vasodilators. Answer: -Reduce circulating blood volume and improve
coronary artery circulation
-ex: nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside
-For HF
⩥ Morphine. Answer: -reduces preload and afterload
-Relieves dyspnea and anxiety
-For HF
⩥ Preload. Answer: Volume of blood within ventricle at end of diastole
, ⩥ Afterload. Answer: -pressure
-Forces opposing ventricular ejection
⩥ Phlebostatic axis. Answer:
⩥ Nursing Priorities for arterial line. Answer: -Zeroing and leveling at
the phlebostatic axis
-Set appropriate alarm limits
-Monitor for bleeding, infection, ischemia
-Hourly neurovascular checks distal to site
⩥ Arterial line square wave test. Answer: -Looking at monitor pull and
let go
-Test to see reliability of art line
-Complication that requires immediate intervention
--Bleeding out
--Loss of waveform
--Placed in wrist and if they have numbness or tingling in hand then we
would worry about ischemia
--Look at color of fingers, check cap refill, notify hcp
