A nurse is caring for a patient with an acute inferior wall MI, post
coronary artery stent deployment. For optimal care of this patient, the
nurse should:
Select single answer
choice. A
administer an analgesic for acute back
pain.clearYou selected. B
apply a pressure dressing to the
groin.clearYou did not select. C
continuously monitor the
patient in lead II. D
maintain the patient in a supine position.
{{Ans- Answer: C
It is best practice to continuously monitor a patient, who is post
coronary artery stent deployment, in the lead that was most
abnormal during the acute occlusion. Lead II would most likely meet
this criterion for a patient with an inferior wall MI. The remaining
interventions are NOT indicated for a patientwho is post coronary
artery stent deployment.
Which of the following ventilator settings is most likely to
decrease the work of breathing? A
assist-
control B
pressure
support C
tidal
volume
D
CPAP
{{Ans- Answer: B
Pressure support senses the beginning of the patient's
spontaneous inspiration and provides a set pressure to assist the
inspiratory effort. The primary purpose of the ventilator settings
listed in choices (A), (C), and (D) is not to decrease the work of
breathing.

A
a diastolic murmur, loudest at the fifth intercostal
space, midclavicular a systolic murmur, loudest at

BANK
D
a systolic murmur, loudest at the base of the heart
{{Ans- Answer: C
Aortic insufficiency (regurgitation) is the backflow of blood during
the time when the aortic valve should be closed. The aortic valve is
closed during diastole; therefore, this patient has a diastolic
murmur. The aortic area of auscultation is at the base of the heart:
the second intercostal space, right sternal border.
-A patient has acute kidney injury with fluid overload, and continuous renal
replacement therapy(CRRT) has been ordered. Which of the following would
indicate the need for CRRT rather than intermittent hemodialysis?
Select single answer
choice. A
hyperkale
mia B.
a MAP of 45
mmHg C
acido
sis D
severe hypoxemia
{{Ans- Answer: B
Hemodynamic instability, such as hypotension, is the indication
for CRRT since it does not cause the rapid fluid shifts that are seen
with intermittent hemodialysis. The remaining choices are not
indications for CRRT.
-Which of the following patients, who are all receiving mechanical
ventilation, is most likely a candidate for a spontaneous awakening trial?
Select single answer
choice. A
a patient who is receiving
PRN morphine B
a patient who is receiving a
propofol infusion C
a patient who is receiving 100% oxygen and 20 cm
H2O pressure of PEEP D
a patient who is receiving a vecuronium (Norcuron) infusion
