cardiovascular and respiratory ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
causes of right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅right ventricular failure. right
ventricular MI. pulmonary hypertension = excessive fluid in lungs
Signs and symptoms of right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅jugular vein
distention - superior vena cava back up. edema - inferior vena cava back up. increased
abdominal girth. hepatomegaly. hepatojugular reflux. ascites. weight for fluid loss.
Nursing diagnosis for right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅impaired gas
exchange related to ventilation and perfusion imbalance. decreased cardiac output related to
altered Contractility. fatigue and weakness related to hypoxemia. potential for pulmonary
edema. Activity intolerance.
Nursing interventions for right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅promote o2
and gas exchange. ventilation assistance. Monitor respiratory rate every 4 hours. auscultate
every 4 hours. high fowlers if dyspneic. maintain 02 above 90. Improve cardiac pump
effectiveness. decreased afterload
labs for right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Electrolyte. hemoglobin and
hematocrit. bnp. urinalysis - proteinuria and increased specific gravity. abgs. chest x ray.
echocardiography!!!
Complications of right sized heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅left sided heart
failure. Pulmonary edema
medications for right sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅Ace inhibitors -pril to
decrease afterload. adrenergic receptor block -artan. human bnp. Diuretics. venous
vasodilators. Inotropic - digoxin. beta adrenergic agonist -dobutamine. phosphodiesterase
increase calcium activity. morphine sulfate. levosimendan binds to troponin
causes of left sided heart failure - CORRECT ANSWERS✅✅hypertension coronary artery
disease valvular disease MI structural heart changes
