ICU BKAT
change in mental status - ANS-while receiving tpa, what would warrant for you to stop
the medication
aortic stenosis - ANS-systolic murmur that is ausculatated at the 2nd intercostal space,
right sternal border is ?
8-10 minutes - ANS-removing a line hold pressure for?
right atrium - ANS-CVP reading directly reflects presue in the
right heart failure - ANS-elevated CVP may indicate?
left ventricle - ANS-pulmonary artery occlusive wedge pressure reflects pressure
where?
10-20/0-4 mean 5-10 - ANS-normal pulmonary artery pressure is
6-12 - ANS-mmhg normal PAOP
Left ventricle failure - ANS-elevated PAOP indicates
diltizepam - ANS-68 year old complains of feeling a little funny in his chest and ecg
shows afib/flutter. what medication should be used to treat?
bundle branch block - ANS-qrs complex longer that .12 indicates
infiltration leads to tissue necrosis - ANS-care should be excercised when administering
IV dopamine becuase?
t wave - ANS-strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands where
symptomatic complete heart block - ANS-indication for use of external cardiac
pacemaker includes
amiodarone 150mgIV bolus over 10 minutes - ANS-initial durg treatment for sustained
ventricular tachycardia when a pulse is present
, epineprhine - ANS-patient become apneic and pulseless . the monitor shows asytole.
the drug used initially?
protamine sulfate - ANS-antidote for heparin
thorough handwashing - ANS-most improatnt step in preventing central venous related
sepsis is
150 - ANS-excessive amount of chest tube drainage during the first few hours following
surgery is how many ml/hr
normal values (22-28 HCO3, 35-45 PCO2 normal) - ANS-ph 7.4, pO2 98, pco2 38,
HCO3 25 --? what is this
120mmHg of __ pressure - ANS-before sucitioning a patient, you should adjust the
vacuum pressure so that it is
atelectasis - ANS-your post op patient has left anterior chest tube. Whn you ausculatate
the lung fields bilaterally you hear dminshed breath sounds in the right posterior base.
THis is most likely due to?
disconnected tubing - ANS-patient on ventilator and low volume alarm sounds. THis is
due to?
leaking cuff - ANS-high pressure alarm on respirator will NOT be triggered by what?
development of pneumothorax - ANS-most important reason for diminshing breath
sounds in motor vechile crash victim with closed chest trauma is
fat embolus - ANS-trauma patient 4 days post fracture suddenly develops SOB, most
likely cause is?
handwashing and gloves when suctioing - ANS-preventing Ventilator pna, most
important action is
immbolize head - ANS-most imporant nursing acticity for patient with dx of cervical
spinal cord injury is
change in LOC - ANS-earliest sign of increase ICP is?
