ANSWER - use electric razor
not increasing intake of vitals K+
safety at home to prevent falls
watch for signs of bleeding
priority care for pts on the cardiac floor with cardiac catheterization - CORRECT
ANSWER - percutaneous cardiac intervention (PCI) is at risk for cardiac complications
this is a pt that would need immediate care
risk for bleeding
hypovolemic shock risks - CORRECT ANSWER - include anything that causes a patient
to bleed profusely (femur fracture, etc.)
tx of a pt with symptomatic bradycardia - CORRECT ANSWER - atropine, dopamine,
epinephrine
tx of a pt with nonsymptomatic bradycardia - CORRECT ANSWER - nothing, but
