Pt. Is depressed in the first few days Encourage the Pt. to ventilate feelings and concerns
after having an MI, most
appropriate nursing action is:
Pt. Is a couple days post MI and is Check his VS
getting out of bed for the first
time and his HR
increases from 80's to 90's. The
nurse should do what?

cardiogenic shock is?
Elevated cardiac enzymes occur in CHF
all of the following EXCEPT: *will occur in trauma, CABG, and pericarditis
What is the classic EKG change in a ST segment elevation
MI:
After an arterial catheter is removed 5-10 minutes
direst pressure should be applied for
how long?
A CVP reading directly measures Right Atrium
pressure where?
You can use an arterial line for all Administration of drugs
the following except:
Causes of ST elevation include: MI, pericarditis, left bundle branch block, left ventricular hypertrophy,
