Beta Blockers - ANS-Initial measures for the treatment of angina pectoris do not include which
response below?
ST segment elevation - ANS-The classical ECG change with muscle injury in acute myocardial
infarction is:
CHF - ANS-Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur in which response below?
Increased CO - ANS-The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility - ANS-You receive orders to start
nitroprusside and dobutamine in your patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy. How will this tx
regimen affect CO?
Encourage the patient to ventilate his/her concerns - ANS-In dealing with a depressed pt during
the first days post AMI the most appropriate nursing action would be:
change in mental status - ANS-Mr Seamore is receiving thrombolytics (TPA) 3 hrs after an AMI.
Which of the following would most likely require discontinuing the infusion?
Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge) - ANS-The following monitor pattern would indicate that the
pulmonary artery (swan ganz) catheter is in which position?
Aortic stenosis - ANS-A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right
sternal border is called:
High to low - ANS-Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an
arterial line?
8-10 minutes - ANS-After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should be applied to
the artery for how long?
Right atrium - ANS-A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
Rt heart failure - ANS-An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
Lt ventricle - ANS-The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in
the:
11-20 - ANS-The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:

6-12 - ANS-How many mmHg is the normal PAOP?
Lt ventricular failure - ANS-An elevated PAOP may indicate:
Diltiazem - ANS-Mr Adams, a 68 yo pt, c/o feeling "a little funny in his chest". His ECG shows
Afib/flutter. Which of the following meds could be used to tx his cardiac rhythm?
BBB - ANS-A QRS complex wider that .12 sec most likely indicates:
Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis - ANS-Special care should be exercised when administering
IV Dopamine because
T wave - ANS-A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands on the:
symptomatic complete heart block - ANS-indication for use of external cardiac pacemaker
includes
Amiodorone 150mg IV over 10 min - ANS-Initial drug tx for sustained V tach when a pulse is
present
Hazardous, as the ventricular rate may suddenly increase - ANS-The cardiac rhythm of A flutter
is:
Establish Unresponsiveness - ANS-Upon recognizing V fib in an ICU, the next thing the nurse
should do is:
Preparing for transcutaneous pacing - ANS-The tx in an emergency situation for complete heart
block is:
Amiodarone, Cardizem, Cardioversion - ANS-Your pt has A flutter with a ventricular response of
150 bpm, therapy for this rhythm includes:
Bradycardia - ANS-Signs of cardiac tamponade do not include which response below?
150 - ANS-In the pt with V fib, the correct energy setting for the first defibrillation when using a
biphasic defibrillator is how many joules?
Epinephrine - ANS-A pt becomes apnea and pulseless. The monitor shows systole. The drug
that would most likely be used initially is:
Protamine sulfate - ANS-Antidote for Heparin
