NURS 5355 FINAL EXAM WITH CORRECT
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY
WELL DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST
ALREADY GRADED A+
site for emergent lines? - ANSWERS-Femoral artery and vein
sufficient collateral circulation? - ANSWERS-color return
within 5 seconds or less
lines placed percutaneous - ANSWERS-through the skin (not
open approach)
common ALine sites? - ANSWERS-Radial then Femoral
radial artery catheter approach? - ANSWERS-lateral to
medial to stabilize artery against flexor carpi radialis tendon
,Aline steps? - ANSWERS-insert catheter/needle, then
stabilize the introducer and advance guide wire using
actuating lever, push needle/catheter another 1-2mm, hold
wire and remove needle while advancing catheter, remove
wire
gold standard of measuring MAP in both critically and
chronically ill patients? - ANSWERS-PAL
common and less severe complications of ALine placement?
- ANSWERS-temporary occlusion due to arterial spasm,
hematoma, and bleeding
RICE or pressure to treat
zero ALine to? - ANSWERS-midaxillary line, 4th intercostal
space, Phlebostatic axis
Most common PAL placement complication? - ANSWERS-
Thrombosis
lung disease determine by ? A-a gradient? - ANSWERS-
increased; difficulty getting O2 from alveoli to the blood
, A-a gradient normal? - ANSWERS-reduced alveolar
ventilation/hypoventilation
measurement of O2 dissolved in the blood? - ANSWERS-
PaO2
O2 attached to hemoglobin molecules? - ANSWERS-
oximeter- O2
elevated carboxyhemoglobin? - ANSWERS-CO poisoning
<pO2 60 & <O280%, oxyhemoglobin saturation curve? -
ANSWERS-steep, large changes in oximetry mean small
changes in oxygenation
Increased PaCO2? - ANSWERS-reduced alveolar ventilation
vein blood flow? - ANSWERS-dark nonpulsatile flow- unless
hemodynamic compromise
neck resists passive flexion? - ANSWERS-Nuchal rigidity
