Decreased Albumin is an indicator of what?
Protein deficiency and poor nutrition, which are major contributors
to poor wound healing.
A continous infusion of Lorazepam for greater than 3 days can lead
to an accumulation of?
Propylene glycol.
Inability to communicate in full sentences may be a sign of what?
Severity of asthma (high risk)
Management of high ICP includes?
Osmotic diuretics, hypertonic saline & antihypertensives.
Causes increased left atrial pressure during atrial contraction -
results in a larger than normal A wave on the PAOP tracing?
Mitral Stenosis
Pulmonary htn will result in elevated PA pressures but have no impact
on?
PAOP
,Absolute contraindication for thrombolytic therapy?
Aortic dissection
Crackles in bilateral lower lobes and a s3 heart sounds are
indicative of what? Tx?
Fluid overload
Furosemide 40 mg IV x 1 now
Narrow pulse pressure - CO 3L/min, HR 135, SV 30, SVR 2100 are all
signs of what?
Cardiogenic shock
HUS is marked by what?

Increase sedation or mannitol as prescribed.
Opening the Ventriculostomy drain requires specific orders?
True
Brain death criteria?
Positive Apnea test
Absent Oculovestibular and Oculocephalic reflex
Respiratory acidosis
ST elevation is indicative of what?
Cardiac ischemia and should be treated as myocardial infarction
CDC indications for urinary catheter include:
end-of-life care, strict I&O, immobility, select surgical procedures,
sacral wounds, urinary retention/obstruction
, A saddle embolus is life threatening and requires which immediate
intervention?
IV thrombolytic for clot lysis.
Subcutaneous and IV heparin inhibit thrombus growth and
promote resolution of the formed clot, but will treat the a saddle
pulmonary embolus.
Indiscrimate pacing spikes indicate that the pacer is not what?
Not sensing or seeing the cardiac activity present. Sensitivity
should be decreased.

Juxtaglomerular cells secrete what?
Renin in response to reduced glomerular filtration pressure.
Secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by:
Long term steroid use, additional stress can overwhelm the
hypothalamic - pitutary-adrenal system.
