After ingesting cardiac medication how long would the patient need
to wait before taking an Antacid medication?
Right 2nd Intercostal Space
Heart Sounds - Aortic
Left 2nd Intercostal Space
Heart Sounds - Pulmonic
Left 3rd Intercostal Space
Heart Sounds - Erb's Point (S1,S2)
Lower Left Sternal Border 4th Intercostal Space
Heart Sounds - Tricuspid
Left 5th Intercostal Space, Medial to Midclavicular Line. (PMI) Apex
of Heart
Heart Sounds - Mitral
An external temporary pacer
In the event of a coronary blockage, the nurse may anticipate what?
???
Treatment to restore the depol and repol effect action potential.
Depolarization
Electrical activation of cell caused by influx of sodium into cell while
potassium exits cell.
Repolarization
, Return of cell to resting state caused by reentry of potassium into
cell while sodium exits.
Diastole
The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and
allows the chambers to fill with blood.
Atrial Systole
The last phase of a diastole during which the ventricular filling is
completed.
Ventricular Systole
The blood vessels are distended by the heart forcing blood from the
ventricles into the systemic (or pulmonic) system.
Preload
Degree of stretch of cardiac muscle fibers at end of diastole
Afterload
Resistance to ejection of blood from ventricle
Contractility
Ability of cardiac muscle to shorten in response to electrical impulse
Prolonged QT Phase 2-3
Amiodarone Toxicity causes what?
Kidney Injuries
A patient is taking Lasix/Bumex for CHF fluid overload, what would
we monitor for?
Magnesium (Helps it stick better)
Before giving Potassium, what would we give the patient first?
Nutrition
Recommend balanced diet with comorbidities.
Elimination
Bowel strain = brady events, urine output with renal function/BP
Activity/Exercise
Gradual increase to reach goal.
