,Pulmonary edema - correct answer Nitroglycerin - reduce preload
loop diuretic - promote diuresis and venodilation
morphine - reduce anxiety
ACE inhibitors - reduce afterload
Ventricular tachycardia - correct answer 3 or more ventricular contractions in a row at a
rate of 100-200 bpm.
Defibrillate if patient is unconscious or unstable
, Cardiac tamponade - correct answer S/S: decresed chest tube drainage, muffled heart
sounds, tachycardia, pulsus paradoxus, and decreased urinary output.
if chest tube is kinked/blocked you can milk it but not strip it.
cardiac ischemia - correct answer characterized by inverted T waves
(ST segment will elevate as heart muscle is damaged and elevated symmetrical T
waves will form)
Q wave MI - correct answer Q or QS waves develop as repolarization is altered or
absent
Q wave changes are usually permanent
Pericardities - correct answer sudden onset of intermittent substernal pain that refers to
the neck, arm, and back
angina pain - correct answer related to exertion and lasts 5-15 min.
