Critical Care HESI Exam
1. 1st diploma AV block - ANS--The PR interval is prolonged (> two hundred msec).
2. -Benign and asymptomatic. No remedy required.
3. Second Degree AV block - ANS-Mobitz type I: progressive lengthening of PR interval
4. Mobitz II: PR is length is first-rate and drops a QRS
5. A client inside the ED is being evaluated for chest pain that is localized at the sternal
border and intensifies with palpation. The nurse expects the HCP to prescribe which
remedy first? - ANS-Ibuprofen (Advil)
6.
7. - the findings suggest that there is costochondritis, no longer an MI or ACS
8. A consumer is delivered to the emergency branch following a motor vehicle accident.
Initial assessment reveals that the patron is unconscious with a blood pressure of one
hundred sixty five/73 mmHg, HR 50 bpm, RR 8 and abnormal, temperature of 103 F.
What do you believe you studied is occurring? - ANS-The findings reveal Cushing's Triad
(hypertension with widening pulse stress, bradycardia and bradypnea); this shows
extended ICP
9. A client improving from a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after an acute
myocardial infarction is being transferred from the PACU to the Cardiac ICU. Which
assessment locating should the PACU nurse tell the healthcare company of without
delay?
10. A. Onset of chest ache
11. b. Want to use stress dressing
12. c. Presence of occasional PVCs
13. d. Absence of any urinary output at some stage in PACU stay - ANS-a. Onset of chest
pain
14.
15. This indicates the onset of another MI and reocclusion of a vessel.
16. A purchaser with acute pancreatitis is admitted to the ICU. The nurse knows that which
interventions are most vital for this client? - ANS-- fluid resuscitation r/t the truth that 1/3
spacing can motive hypovolemia
17. - nutrients
18. - ache management
19. - electrolyte substitute (hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia)
20. A patron with ARDS became endotracheally intubated and transferred to the ICU 12
hours in the past. Upon evaluation, the nurse notes bilateral rales and diminished breath
sounds inside the proper middle lobe and bilateral lower lobes, as well as bluish nail
beds. Based at the patron's presentation, which actions must be taken? - ANS-- Place
the affected person in prone position
21. - administer prescribed Lasix
, 22. A nurse suspects that a affected person receiving IVF has an air embolism. What is their
precedence motion? - ANS-- clamp the tubing
23. - flip affected person on left aspect in trendelenburg to trap the air within the RA
24. - oxygenate
25. A patient is demonstrating PVC waveforms on the EKG. What would possibly the nurse
do to clear up this difficulty? - ANS-- Digoxin
26. - calcium channel blockers
27. - cardioversion
28. - carry out valsalvas
29. A patient receiving TPN all of sudden develops hypokalemia, shallow respirations,
confusion and weakness. What is probably happening? - ANS-Key word: TPN-->
refeeding syndrome
30. A patient with an allergic/anaphylactic response to a blood transfusion might present with
which signs? - ANS-- dyspnea
31. - stridor
32. - urticaria
33. - hypotensive surprise
34. Acromegaly - ANS-hypersecretion of increase hormone from the anterior pituitary after
puberty, leading to enlargement of extremities and bones
35. Adrenal Insufficiency - ANS-additionally referred to as Addison's disorder; hyposecretion
of adrenal hormones such as ADH, aldosterone and androgens
36. - weight loss
37. - hypoglycemia
38. - hyponatremia
39. - hyperkalemia
40. - hyperpigmentation
41. Amylase - ANS-produced via the liver, pancreas and salivary glands; increases with
pancreatitis; decreases with alcoholism and hepatitis
42. Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) - ANS-inflammatory response that reasons degenerative
adjustments inside the spinal vertebrae; sacroiliac joints; connective tissues such as
tendons and ligaments in the hips, shoulders, knees, ft, and ribs; and tissues of the
lungs, eyes, and coronary heart valves
43. Anticholinergic Crisis - ANS-overdose of atropine
44. - blind as a bat, hot as a hare, red as a beet, dry as a bone, complete as a flask, mad as
a hatter
45. - TX: DC atropine; manipulate signs; physostigmine
46. Atropine - ANS-anticholinergic drug used to deal with sinus bradycardia (increases the
HR/+ chronotropic ) and reduce secretions previous to surgical procedure
47. Brain Natriuretic Peptide - ANS-produced by using ventricular muscle cells, secreted in
response to increased blood volume and BP to lower it; normally much less than one
hundred mcg/mL
48. Catheter ablation - ANS-short transport of radiofrequency strength to destroy areas of
coronary heart tissue that can be inflicting arrhythmias
1. 1st diploma AV block - ANS--The PR interval is prolonged (> two hundred msec).
2. -Benign and asymptomatic. No remedy required.
