with 100% correct answers
Beta Blockers - -Initial measures for the treatment of angina pectoris do not include
which response below?
-ST segment elevation - -The classical ECG change with muscle injury in acute
myocardial infarction is:
-CHF - -Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur in which response below?
-Increased CO - -The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
-Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility - -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 - -In dealing with a depressed pt
during the first days post AMI the most appropriate nursing action would be:
-change in mental status - -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) - -The following monitor pattern would indicate
that the pulmonary artery (swan ganz) catheter is in which position?
-Aortic stenosis - -A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space,
right sternal border is called:
-High to low - -Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an
arterial line?
-8-10 minutes - -After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should be
applied to the artery for how long?
-Right atrium - -A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
-Rt heart failure - -An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
, -Lt ventricle - -The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects
pressure in the:
-11-20 - -The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
-6-12 - -How many mmHg is the normal PAOP?
-Lt ventricular failure - -An elevated PAOP may indicate:
-Diltiazem - -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 - -A QRS complex wider that .12 sec most likely indicates:
-Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis - -Special care should be exercised when
administering IV Dopamine because
-T wave - -A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands on the:
-symptomatic complete heart block - -indication for use of external cardiac pacemaker
includes
-Amiodorone 150mg IV over 10 min - -Initial drug tx for sustained V tach when a pulse
is present
-Hazardous, as the ventricular rate may suddenly increase - -The cardiac rhythm of A
flutter is:
-Establish Unresponsiveness - -Upon recognizing V fib in an ICU, the next thing the
nurse should do is:
-Preparing for transcutaneous pacing - -The tx in an emergency situation for complete
heart block is:
-Amiodarone, Cardizem, Cardioversion - -Your pt has A flutter with a ventricular
response of 150 bpm, therapy for this rhythm includes:
-Bradycardia - -Signs of cardiac tamponade do not include which response below?
-150 - -In the pt with V fib, the correct energy setting for the first defibrillation when
using a biphasic defibrillator is how many joules?
