Answers 100% Correct {Grade A}
What are signs of hypoperfusion after a rhythym change? - Correct answer Assess the
patient for clinical indications of hypoperfusion (e.g., cool skin, decreased urine output,
narrowed pulse pressure, and hypotension).
A lateral Wall MI will be seen as St elevations in which leads, and stems from a
blockage in which coronary arteries? - Correct answer 1. High Lateral: lead 1 and AVL
V5 and V6 are low lateral wall... Ischemia from the circumflex artery.
In Acute coronary Syndromes unstable angina is characterized by...... - Correct answer

-No Troponin elevation
-with or without ECG changes
NSTEMI characteristics
,Universal recipient blood type is... - Correct answer AB positive
Universal donor blood type - Correct answer O negative
Rhogam shot - Correct answer given to mother soon after the first delivery,
miscarriage, or abortion so that antibody binds to fetal RBC and removed it from the
body before the mother makes Rh antibody
Platelets indications - Correct answer volume in the bag is about 150 mls, to assist
with coagulation of blood. Indications: bleeding, hemophelia, thrombocytopenia,
platelets dysfunction
FFP (fresh frozen plasma) 150-160ml - Correct answer indications: pts who need
coagulation factors - liver failure, DIC, Burns, massive RBC transfusion
*Product of choice for pts with multiple deficiencies*
