Nurs 420 Quiz 2 questions with verified answers
AICD Ans✓✓✓ automatic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
Anaphylactic shock Ans✓✓✓ A severe reaction that occurs when an
allergen is introduced to the bloodstream of an allergic individual.
Characterized by bronchoconstriction, labored breathing, widespread
vasodilation, circulatory shock, and sometimes sudden death.
Anaphylactic shock interventions Ans✓✓✓ Administer epinephrine:
increases cardiac output by constricting vessels, relaxes airways,
prevents additional release of inflammatory mediators
Assess airway - administer high concentrations of oxygen
Cardiac and vital sign monitoring including pulse oximetry, skin color,
temperature, turgor, moistness, capillary refill
Obtain large bore IV sites
Anticipate need for mechanical ventilation
Assess recent exposure to allergens
Additional medications: IVFs, vasopressors, diphenhydramine, steroids,
volume expanders
Anaphylactic shock symptoms Ans✓✓✓ •Uticaria
•Bronchiolar constriction:
▪wheezing
▪difficulty breathing
, •Edema
•Circulatory collapse
Arterial line (A-line) Ans✓✓✓ Used to measure arterial pressures,
effectiveness of vasoactive meds, and drawing frequent ABGs
Insertion: usually radial artery, Assess collateral circulation (Allen's Test)
Complications:
*Thrombosis *, Embolism, Infection, Hemorrhage
Automatic Implanted Cardiac Defibrillator (AICD) Ans✓✓✓ a device
implanted under the skin of the chest to detect any life-threatening
dysrhythmia and deliver a shock to defibrillate the heart.
Bag valve mask flow rate Ans✓✓✓ 15-25 LPM
Cardiogenic shock assessment Ans✓✓✓ BP: decreased
HR: increased
CO: decreased
CVP: increased
SVR: increased
Cardiogenic shock causes Ans✓✓✓ -Myocardial infarction (MC)
-Cardiomyopathy
