NURS 434 FINAL QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
2 risk factors for CAD? Correct Answers HTN & smoking
4 types of shock? Correct Answers 1. Hypovolemic: occurs
after a loss of intravascular fluid volume
2. Obstructive: develops when a physical obstruction to blood
flow with a decreased CO
3. Distributive (septic, anaphylactic, neurogenic)
4. Cardiogenic: occurs when either systolic or diastolic
dysfunction of the heart's pumping action results in reduced CO
(MI)
A pts response depends on what? Correct Answers Age, extent
of injury, and general health
Antidysrhythmic medications? Correct Answers -Lidocaine,
brelylim, mag sulfate, procainamide, atropine, adenosine
Antiplatelet meds? Correct Answers -Aspirin, clopidogrel,
heparin, enoxaparin, dalteparin
before catheter insertion, the nurse should monitor? Correct
Answers electrolytes, acid-base, oxygenation and coagulation
status. Imbalances such as hypokalemia, hypomagnesmia,
hypoxemia, or acidosis can make the heart more irritable and
increase the risk fo ventricular dysrhythmia during catheter
insertion
,Beta blockers? Correct Answers -Metoprolol, atenolol,
propranolol, carvedilol
body temp during irreversible? Correct Answers hypo
Body temp during progressive stage? Correct Answers hypo or
hyper
Body temperature during the compensatory stage? Correct
Answers normal or abnormal
C-reactive protein measures what? Correct Answers General
levels of inflammation int he body
cardio system during irreversible? Correct Answers severe
hypotension, bradycardia, irregular rhythm
Cardio system during progressive stage? Correct Answers
Decreased BP,
Causes of hemorrhage? Correct Answers trauma, high BP,
aneurysm, blood or bleeding disorders, liver disease, brain
tumors, blood vessel abnormalities
Clinical findings associated with impairment of central
perfusion? Correct Answers -dyspnea, fatigue, dia phoresis,
syncope, edema, reduced cognition, anxiety
Clinical manifestations of hypoxemia? Correct Answers -
dyspnea, tachypnea, prolonged expiration, nasal flaring,
intercostal muscle retraction, use of accessory muscles,
, decreased SpO2 (<80%), paradoxic chest, cyanosis, agitation,
disorientation, restless, combative delirium, confusion,
decreased LOC, tachycardia, HTN, cool/clammy skin,
diaphoretic, dysrhythmias, hypotension, fatigue
common assessment findings from placental abruption patients?
Correct Answers -Dull, achy, sudden pain
- VS: tachycardia, HTN (early) then hypo
-Note the amount fo blood- add on 10% b/c some blood is
concealed
-Unable to relax during contractions
-Fetal distress: listen to fetal heart tones
Compensatory stage Correct Answers -TACHYCARDIA, drop
in BP, increase in O2 demand, tachypnea
-Blood flow to vital organs (heart and brain) is maintained
-Body's attempt to maintain CO, perfusion and blood pressure-
-The patient is orientated to person, place & time.
-The patient is restless, apprehensive, confused
-
Define ARDS Correct Answers Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome
-Progressive form of acute respiratory failure resulting from
alveolar capillary membrane damage
Depression or elevation during a cardiac stress test indicates?
Correct Answers positive stress test
Do men usually have typical or atypical symptoms of ACS?
Correct Answers Typical
