NUR 420 - exam 3
1. invasive procedure using radiopaque catheter placed in peripheral
vessel (usually femoral artery/vein): cardiac catheterization
2. What do you need to check for before someone goes in for a
cardiac catheterization procedure?: allergies to iodine/shellfish
3. What do you need to check for post-procedure of a cardiac cath?:
check pulses distal to puncture site
4. What position to post-cath patients need to be kept in for 4-6 hours?:
supine
5. What should post-cath patients avoid for 3 days?: tub baths
6. heart failure and hypoxemia: congenital heart disease
7. can be a result from infection, autoimmune response, environmental
factors and familial tendencies/genetics: acquired heart disease
8. Which side of the heart has greater pressure?: left side
9. blood flows from left side (high pressure) to ride side (low pressure)
across a defect in the atrial septum
- will have an increased WOB and tachypnea: Atrial septal defect
10. - digoxin
- ACE inhibitors
- Beta blockers
- diuretics: medications for heart failure
11.increase caloric density of formula/milk to account for increased
metabolic demand: nutrition for heart failure
12. auscultate apical pulse for 60 seconds
- do not admin if HR is <90 in infant/young child or <70 in older child
- bradycardia is sign of toxicity: Digoxin
13.most common CHD defect; can be in different locations in
ventricular septum: Ventricular septal defect
14. fetal vessel that connects from aorta to pulmonary artery; normally
closes within 3 days of birth
- if it stays open blood will preferentially go to the lungs instead of body
(lungs get over circulated which results in crackles/wet lung sounds):
Patent ductus arteriosus
15. What would you NOT give to someone with pulmonary overcirculation: -
supplemental oxygen
16.involves surgical correction; the structures are altered in such a way
to create a near normal cardiac physiology: repair
17.alleviate or lessen without curing; the structures are altered to create the
"best possible" scenario but does not resemble normal cardiac physiology:
- palliation
1/6
, NUR 420 - exam 3
18.PDA is required to sustain life postnatally: ductal dependent lesions
