which action by a nurse would be first in a pt with vtach HR 135, RR 32, BP 90/48,
conscious w complaints of dizziness and recent potassium of 3.4?
a. emergent defibrillation
b. emergent cardioversion
c. amiodarone 300 mg IVP
d. hang ordered 10 mEq KCL per 50 mL D5W IV bag
Give this one a try later!
, b.
pt is unstable - dizzy, hypotensive, though conscious
if pt. is stable, amiodarone is a choice
s/s heart failure
Give this one a try later!
cardiac: tachycardic, weak pulse, jvd, s3, displaced pmi, cardiomegaly,
valvular abnormalities, peripheral edema, + hepatojugular reflux
pulmonary: bibasilar rales, pnd, dyspnea
neurologic: fatigue, dizziness, change LOC, impending doom
the monitor shows this rhythm (wide complex tachycardia) for a pt with AICD who is
alert and oriented and bp of 110/70. the nurse prepares to administer:
a. sedative to help pt tolerate ICD shock
b. amiodarone bolus of 150 mg over 10 mins
c. synchronized cardioversion
d. adenosine 6mg rapid IV push
Give this one a try later!
b.
no need to cardiovert patient is alert and stable
Which of the following lab results shows acute pancreatitis?
Give this one a try later!
, elevated glucose, lipase, amylase, BUN/Cr, triglycerides, and bilirubin
(know your lab values)
low calcium, mag and potassium
tx: fluids, rest pancreas, pain management, monitor and replace
electrolytes, nutrition, surgery (first line if hemorrhagic/necrotizing)
A patient shows a new slight facial droop and the patient's right arm is weaker than
the left. A priority intervention would be to
A. Obtain a serum glucose level
B. Obtain a full set of vital signs
C. Initiate the stroke protocol
D. Initiate the code response team
Give this one a try later!
C.
The stroke protocol should be activated as soon as signs of stroke are
identified in a patient. Initial signs of stroke include facial droop, arm down
drift, and garbled speech. For best outcomes, the time elapsed between
initials signs of stroke and treatment must be as short as possible.
which physical assessment finding would the nurse anticipate in a patient with hx of
venous stasis ulcers?
a. cool extremities w minimal edema
b. pale ext and painful ambulation
c. hyperpigmented ext w increased edema
d. warm ext w weak oulses
Give this one a try later!
