BKAT 9R FINAL EXAM SCRIPT 2026
QUESTIONS WITH FULL SOLUTIONS
◉ A central venous pressure CVP reading directly reflects pressure
in the:
1. Left atrium
2. Right atrium
3. Left ventricle
4. Pulmonary artery. Answer: Right atrium
◉ An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
1. Right heart failure
2. A fall in blood pressure
3. Acute dehydration
4. Onset of left ventricle failure. Answer: Right heart failure
◉ The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects
pressure in the:
1. aorta
2. left ventricle
3. right atrium
4. vena cava. Answer: left ventricle
,◉ The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
1. (10-20)/(0-4) mean 5-10
2. (21-30)/(5-15) mean 11-20
3. (31-35)/(16-20) mean 21-30
4. (36-45)/(21-23) mean 31-33. Answer: 11-2
◉ How many mm Hg is the normal PAOP
1. 1-3
2. 6-12
3. 15-20
4. 21-26. Answer: 6-12
◉ An elevated PAOP may indicate:
1. Hypovolemia
2. Peripheral vasodilation
3. systemic hypotension
4. left ventricular failure. Answer: left ventricular failure
◉ Mr. Adams, a 68 yo patient, complains of feeling "a little funny in
his chest." His ECG shows atrial fibrillation/flutter. Which of the
following medications could be used to treat his cardiac rhythm?
, 1. Digoxin
2. Nifedipine
3. Diltiazem
4. Adenosine. Answer: Diltiazem
◉ A QRS complex wider than 0.12 seconds most likely indicates:
1. Normal sinus node conduction
2. Bundle branch block
3. Second degree heart block
4. myocardial infarction. Answer: bundle branch block
◉ The following rhythm represents:. Answer: First degree HB
◉ Special care should be exercised when administering IV dopamine
because:
1. Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis
2. High doses may lead to a profound bradycardia
3. Precipitation can occur when used in a dextrose IV solution
4. even low doses decrease renal perfusion. Answer: Infiltration
leads to tissue necrosis
◉ The following strip is:. Answer: Aflutter
