ATI CARDIOVASCULAR STUDY TEST UPDATED EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
✔✔60-80 - ✔✔Mixed venous oxygen saturation (supply and demand balance) normal
range ()-()%
✔✔embolism - ✔✔plaque or clot that is dislodged into the blood stream
✔✔tamponade (pericarditis) - ✔✔Fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac that
negatively affects blood pressure. May require pericardiocentesis.
✔✔tamponade - ✔✔Possible complications of angiography: (), hematoma, restenosis,
bleeding
✔✔CVC (central venous catheter) - ✔✔Short-term use, 18-25 cm used to administer
blood, long-term administration of chemotherapeutic agents, antibiotics and total
parenteral nutrition.
✔✔PICC (perepirally inserted central catheter) - ✔✔45-74cm, used up to 12 months,
administration of blood, long-term administration of chemotherapeutic agents and total
parenteral care
✔✔5 ml - ✔✔When a PICC line is not in use flush with () mL of heparin, if the PICC line
is actively used used 10 ml of NS
✔✔chlorhexadine - ✔✔antiseptic that is used to clean the site before a port is inserted
into the patient. At least 30 seconds and allow to air dry.
✔✔2 vessel block and angina, 3 vessel block - ✔✔Indication for CABG (coronary artery
bypass graft)
✔✔variant (pinzmetal) angina - ✔✔due to coronary artery spasm often occurring during
periods of rest
✔✔acetylcysteine - ✔✔Used before and after administration of contrast agent to protect
the kedneys
✔✔iodine, shellfish - ✔✔contrast dye use is contraindicated if patient is allergic to () or ()
✔✔50 - ✔✔Patients need an ejection fracture of at least () for a coronary artery bypass
to be most effective.
✔✔angiogram - ✔✔cardiac catheterization is also called a coronary (). Used to confirm
and determine the location and extent of heart disease
