WITH VERIFIED ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. You are caring for a patient with a suspected stroke whose
symptoms started 2 hours ago. The CT was normal with no sign of
hemorrhage. The patient does not have any contraindications to
fibrinolytic therapy. Which treatment is best?
start fibrinolytic therapy ASAP
hold fibrinolytic therapy for 24 hours
order an echo before fibrinolytic
administration wait for MRI result
2. Which of the following is the mechanism of action of aspirin
that is commonly prescribed for patients that have had acute
coronary syndrome?
Inhibits platelet aggregation
Promotes coronary artery
vasodilation Promotes peripheral
vasodilation
Inhibits cyclooxygenase
3. After administering the initial dose of adenosine, the team reassesses
Mr. van Essen and notes the following: Blood pressure: 105/70
mmHg Pulse: 182 bpm Respirations: 24 breaths/min Temperature:
,98.6°FPulse oximetry: 96%Lung sounds: clear Rhythm: unchanged
Given these assessment findings, what is the appropriate next
intervention?
Initiate synchronized cardioversion.
Administer a second dose of adenosine (6 mg via rapid IV push,
followed by a 10- to 20-mL normal saline flush).
Administer a second dose of adenosine (12 mg via rapid IV push,
followed by a 10- to 20-mL normal saline flush).
,4. What is the primary intervention to consider if a patient is unable to
follow verbal commands during an emergency report?
Obtaining another ECG
Administering vasopressors
Transferring the patient to an intensive care unit
Targeted temperature management
5. Which blood component is primarily affected by the action of
aspirin in patients experiencing acute coronary syndromes?
plasma
red blood cells
platelets
white blood cells
6. During a Basic Life Support (BLS) assessment, what is the primary
purpose of high-quality CPR?
To restore normal heart rhythm
To maintain blood circulation and oxygenation
To clear the airway
To provide medication
7. A 75-year-old patient is having difficulty breathing, with increased
respiratory effort. The patient has a history of emphysema. The patient is
drowsy. Auscultation reveals bilateral wheezing, although the lung
sounds are difficult to appreciate. The respiratory rate is 38 breaths per
, minute.
Oxygen saturation is 85%. PETCO2 is 49 mm
