NURS 370; FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS BANK; COMPLETE
ACCURATE QUIZZES WITH VERIFIED ANSWERS
_____% of strokes are caused by A- fib - correct answer- 15%
2 complications from septic shock - correct answer- 1. Multiple
organ dysfunction syndrome ("organ failure")
2. Disseminated intravascular coagulation
3 body compensatory mechanisms to shock - correct answer- 1. SNS
activation
2. Endocrine response
3. RAAS activation
6- Step Method: Reading an ECG? - correct answer- 1. Identify and
examine P wave
2. Measure PR interval
3. Measure QRS complex
4. Identify rhythm (regular/ irregular)
5. Determine HR
6. Determine ECG findings
,A patient requires energy. If they are stable they will recieve....
If they are unstable they will recieve... - correct answer- If pt is
stable: cardioversion
If pt is unstable: defibrillation
ABCDE management of shock - correct answer- Airway: head tilt chin
lift, ensure clear airway (foreign body)
Breathing: apply oxygen prn, bagger, or ventilation
Circulatory: FLUIDS (start with isotonic, then colloids)
medications (for severe low BP where fluids dont help)
Assess D and ensure nutritional intake is adequate
Acronym for quick recognition of sepsis - correct answer- qSOFA
Q: quick
S: sepsis- related
O: organ
F: failure
,A: assessment
Can potassium channel blockers be used long term - correct answer-
Amiodarone action is not instant and does not work for everyone
If its effective, pt will take PO amiodarone long term
Can pt's feel their internal defibrillator - correct answer- Patient's
can generally feel the shock & contraction
Shock not felt as often, if it is closer to the heart tissue
Can sodium channel blockers be used long term - correct answer- no
its used for severe cases short term
Cardiac biomarkers are essential for which type of MI - correct answer-
Even if we know a pt is having a STEMI, we still assess cardiac markers
*NSTEMI pt's (don't know if they're having an MI) cardiac markers are
vital*
Cardiac catheterization: Post nursing care - correct answer- -Lie flat
4-6 hours
, -Frequent VS check (like surgery)
-Asses risk of DVT
Assess for relief of cardiac symptoms
Cardiac catheterization: Pre nursing care - correct answer- -Pt must
be NPO 6 hrs before
-Explain what to expect (calm nerves- sometimes ativan given)
-tell pt they will have to lay flat for 4-6 hours afterwards
-pt must alert nurse if they have chest pain during
Causes of A-fib - correct answer- Underlying heart disease:
-Hypertension
-Coronary artery disease
-Heart failure
-Rheumatic heart disease
-Pericarditis
Other non cardiac causes:
-Excessive alcohol
-Excessive caffeine
-Dehydration
-Electrolyte imbalances
