Initial measure for the treatment b. morphine and beta blocker
of angina pectoris includes all of
the following
EXCEPT:
the classing EKG change in AMI is? b. ST segment elevation
Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes A. CHF
generally occur in all of the
following EXCEPT:
The major therapeutic goal in the C. increase CO
treatment of cardiogenic shock
is to:
How does nitroprusside and D. reduces preload and afterload and improves contractility
dobutamine affect CO?
In dealing with a depressed a. encourage the pt to vent about concerns
patient during the 1st days post
AMI the most appropriate
nursing action would be?
Pt received TpA 3 hours after d. change in mental status
AMI. Which of the following
would most likely require
discontinuing the infusion?
The use of an A-line may be d. for the admin of routine drugs
indicated for all of the
following except?
After an A-line is removed b. 5-10 minutes
pressure should be held for
how long?
CVP reads what pressure? b. right atrium
, An elevated CVP may indicate? a. right HF
PAOP reflects pressure where? not provided in the notes
aorta The main artery that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the
body.
left ventricle The chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
right atrium The chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
vena cava The large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the
heart.
Normal PA pressures 10-20/0-4 - 5-10, 21-30/5-15 - 11-20, 31-36/16-20 - 21-30, 36-45/21-23 -
31-33.
normal PAOP 6-12 mmHg (in the book it's 8-12).
May indicate hypovolemia, peripheral vasodilation, systemic
elevated PAOP indication
hypotension, or left ventricular failure.
treatment for a-fib/a-flutter Cardizem.
QRS complex wider than 0.12 Most likely indicates BBB (Bundle Branch Block).
seconds
special care with IV dopamine Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis.
strong ventricular stimulation Potentially dangerous when it lands on the t-wave.
danger
indication for external cardiac Symptomatic complete heart block.
pacemaker
initial drug treatment for Amiodarone 150mg IV over 10 minutes.
sustained v-tach
cardiac rhythm of atrial flutter Hazardous as a ventricular rate may suddenly increase.
