RCIS - Complete Study Set
which of the following pacing methods requires the use of external pacing
pads Correct Ans - transcutaneous
when transfering a patient to the recovery area or back to their room, what
should be the actions of the person who achieved hemostasis of the procedure
site Correct Ans - go with the patient and physically show the
receiving nurse the site to discuss hemo details
what is an advantage to using a filter versus a balloon occlusion distal
protection device Correct Ans - allows distal perfusion
in an AP projection, which of the following structures is the most posterior
Correct Ans - left atrium
door to balloon time for STEMI should occur within how many minutes
Correct Ans - 90
what type of angina usually occurs with activity and subsides with rest
Correct Ans - stable
what are the possible vascular access sites for a left femoral artery
intervention Correct Ans - left/right radial artery, right femoral artery,
and left/right popliteal artery
which of the following are typical findings in patients with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy Correct Ans - decreased LV compliance and hyper
dynamic LV function
what methods are used to treat flow limiting disections Correct Ans -
stent, angioplasty (perfusion balloon), and covered stent
what can not used for clots or dissections Correct Ans - atherectomy
which of the following hemodynamic abnormalities would be observed with
mitral stenosis Correct Ans - large "a" wave in the left atrium
, which of the following can be used to assure good stent apposition in PCI
Correct Ans - intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)
which vascular closure device has a suture that is self tightening Correct
Ans - angioseal
which atherectomy catheters shave and sand away plaque Correct Ans -
orbital and directional
which of the following conditions would invalidate Fick cardiac output results
Correct Ans - atrial septal defect (ASD)
what type of balloon catheter should be used to treat fibrotic plaque and
neointimal hyperplasia Correct Ans - scoring
which of the listed signs and symptoms may indicate a vasovagal response
Correct Ans - nausea, bradycardia, hypotension, and pale skin
what information is required prior to prepping a patient for the procedure
Correct Ans - NPO status, patient allergies, patient identifiers and
advanced directive
when educating a patient about their hemostasis site after either a radial or
femoral approach, which of the following points must be made Correct
Ans - keep the bandage on the site for 24 hours, do not submerge the site
in water for 48 hours, do not bend the affected area during your recovery bed
rest, and no strenuous movement or heavy lifting for 24 hours
eximer lasers are primarily used to treat which types of lesions Correct
Ans - bifurcation, heavily calcified, and chronic total occlusions
what procedural setups should be considered when preparing a patient for a
pacemaker/ICD inplant Correct Ans - arms restrained, cautory
grounding pad attachment to the patient, IV located in the arm on the same
side as the implanted device
used to reduce the cavitation effect and expanding gas bubbles inside the
artery during laser atherectomy procedures Correct Ans - rapid saline
injection
