CORRECT ANSbeta blockers The classical ECG change with muscle injury in acute myocardial infarction is: CORRECT ANSST segment elevation Elevated cardiac iso-enzyme generally does not occur in which response below? CORRECT ANSCongestive heart failure The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cardiogenic shock is to: CORRECT ANSIncrease cardiac output You receive orders to start Nipride and Dobutamine in your patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy. How will this treatment regimen affect cardiac output? CORRECT ANSReduces preload and afterload and improves contractility In dealing with a depressed patient during the first day’s post AMI the most appropriate nursing action would be: CORRECT ANSEncourage the patient to ventilate his/her concerns Mr. Seamore is receiving thrombolytics (TPA) 3 hours after an AMI. Which of the following would most likely require discontinuing the infusion? CORRECT ANSChange in mental status The following monitor would indicate that the pulmonary artery (Swan Ganz) catheter is in which position? CORRECT ANSPulmonary artery occlusion (wedge) A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called: CORRECT ANSaortic stenosis Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an arterial line? CORRECT ANSHigh to low After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should generally be applied to the artery: CORRECT ANSFor 8-10 minutes A central venous pressure CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the: CORRECT ANSRight atrium An elevated CVP reading may indicate: CORRECT ANSRight heart failure The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the: CORRECT ANSleft ventricle The following rhythm represents: CORRECT ANSFirst degree HB Special care should be exercised when administering IV dopamine because: CORRECT ANSInfiltration leads to tissue necrosis The following strip is: CORRECT ANSAflutter A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it lands on the: CORRECT ANST wave The rhythm strip below shows: CORRECT ANSVTach An indication for use of an external cardiac pacemaker includes: CORRECT ANSSymptomatic complete heart block In the following rhythm strip the transvenous pacemaker shows: CORRECT ANSFailure to sense The initial drug treatment for sustained ventricular tachycardia when a pulse is present is: CORRECT ANSAmiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 min The rhythm strip below is: CORRECT ANSVfib The cardiac rhythm of atrial flutter is: CORRECT ANSHazardous, as the ventricular rate may suddenly increase Upon recognizing ventricular fibrillation in an ICU, the next thing the nurse should do is: CORRECT ANSEstablish unresponsiveness The treatment in an emergency situation for complete heart block is: CORRECT ANSPreparing for transcutaneous pacing Your patient has atrial flutter with a ventricular response of 150 beats per minute. Therapy for this rhythm includes: CORRECT ANSAmiodarone, cardizem, cardioversion Signs of cardiac tamponade do not include which response below? CORRECT ANSbradycardia In the patient with ventricular fibrillation, the correct energy setting for the first defibrillation when using a biphasic defibrillator is how many joules? CORRECT ANS150 A patient becomes apneic and pulseless. The monitor shows asystole. The drug that would most likely be used initially is: CORRECT ANSEpinephrine The normal pulmonary artery pressure is: CORRECT ANS11-2 How many mm Hg is the normal PAOP CORRECT ANS6-12 An elevated PAOP may indicate: CORRECT ANSleft ventricular failure Mr. Adams, a 68 yo patient, complains of feeling "a little funny in his chest." His ECG shows atrial fibrillation/flutter. Which of the following medications could be used to treat his cardiac rhythm? CORRECT ANSDiltiazem A QRS complex wider than 0.12 seconds most likely indicates: CORRECT ANSbundle branch block The antidote for heparin is: CORRECT ANSProtamine sulfate The most important step in preventing central venous catheter related sepsis is: CORRECT ANSThorough hand washing An excessive amount of chest tube drainage in the first few hours following thoracic surgery is how many ml's per hour? CORRECT ANS150 A routine check of your patient's blood gas values shows a pH of 7.40, pO2 of 98 mm Hg, pCO2 of 38 mm Hg, and HCO3 of 25 mEq. These results reflect: CORRECT ANSnormal values Before suctioning a patient, you adjust the vacuum pressure so that it is: CORRECT ANS120 mm Hg of pressure Your post-operative patient has a left anterior chest tube. When you auscultate the lung fields bilaterally, you hear diminished breath sounds in the right posterior base. This would most likely be due to: CORRECT ANSatelectasis Your patient is on a ventilator. The low volume alarm sounds. This may be due to: CORRECT ANSa disconnected tube To assess proper positioning of an endotracheal tube, the most appropriate nursing action would be to: CORRECT ANSListen for bilateral breath sounds
