The following monitor would indicate that the pulmonary artery (Swan Ganz) catheter is in which
position?
1. Superior vena cava
2. Right ventricle
3. Pulmonary artery
4. Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge)
Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge)
A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called:
1. aortic insufficiency
2. aortic stenosis
3. pulmonary insufficiency
4. pulmonic stenosis
aortic stenosis
Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an arterial line?
High to low
After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should generally be applied to the artery:
1. For 2 full minutes
2. For 8-10 minutes
3. Until the oozing of blood from the puncture site slows
4. Until a pressure dressing is applied
For 8-10 minutes
A central venous pressure CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
1. Left atrium
2. Right atrium
,3. Left ventricle
4. Pulmonary artery
Right atrium
An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
1. Right heart failure
2. A fall in blood pressure
3. Acute dehydration
4. Onset of left ventricle failure
Right heart failure
The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
1. aorta
2. left ventricle
3. right atrium
4. vena cava
left ventricle
The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
1. (10-20)/(0-4) mean 5-10
2. (21-30)/(5-15) mean 11-20
3. (31-35)/(16-20) mean 21-30
4. (36-45)/(21-23) mean 31-33
11-2
How many mm Hg is the normal PAOP
1. 1-3
2. 6-12
3. 15-20
4. 21-26
6-12
, An elevated PAOP may indicate:
1. Hypovolemia
2. Peripheral vasodilation
3. systemic hypotension
4. left ventricular failure
left ventricular failure
Mr. Adams, a 68 yo patient, complains of feeling "a little funny in his chest." His ECG shows atrial
fibrillation/flutter. Which of the following medications could be used to treat his cardiac rhythm?
1. Digoxin
2. Nifedipine
3. Diltiazem
4. Adenosine
Diltiazem
A QRS complex wider than 0.12 seconds most likely indicates:
1. Normal sinus node conduction
2. Bundle branch block
3. Second degree heart block
4. myocardial infarction
bundle branch block
The following rhythm represents:
First degree HB
Special care should be exercised when administering IV dopamine because:
1. Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis
2. High doses may lead to a profound bradycardia
3. Precipitation can occur when used in a dextrose IV solution
