When developing a health teaching plan for a 60-year-old man with the
following risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), the nurse should
focus on the
elevation of the patient's serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) level.
Which information collected by the nurse who is admitting a patient with chest
pain suggests that the pain is caused by an acute myocardial infarction (AMI)?
The pain has persisted longer than 30 minutes.
Which information given by a patient admitted with stable angina will help the
nurse confirm this diagnosis?
The patient states that the pain is resolved after taking one sublingual
nitroglycerin tablet.
After the nurse has finished teaching a patient about use of sublingual
nitroglycerin (Nitrostat), which patient statement indicates that the teaching
has been EFFECTIVE?
,"I will call an ambulance if I still have pain 5 minutes after taking the
nitroglycerin."
Which of these statements made by a patient with coronary artery disease
after the nurse has completed teaching about the therapeutic lifestyle changes
(TLC) diet indicates that further teaching is needed?
"I will miss being able to eat peanut butter sandwiches."
A patient who has had severe chest pain for several hours is admitted with a
diagnosis of possible acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Which of these
ordered laboratory tests should the nurse monitor to help determine whether
the patient has had an AMI?
Cardiac-specific troponin I and troponin T
Amlodipine (Norvasc) is ordered for a patient with newly diagnosed
Prinzmetal's (variant) angina. When teaching the patient, the nurse will
include the information that amlodipine will
decrease spasm of the coronary arteries.
A patient with a non-ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is
receiving heparin. What is the purpose of the heparin?
, Heparin will prevent the development of new clots in the coronary arteries.
When administering IV nitroglycerin (Tridil) to a patient with a myocardial
infarction (MI), which action will the nurse take to evaluate the effectiveness
of the medication?
Ask about chest discomfort.
A patient with ST segment elevation in several electrocardiographic (ECG)
leads is admitted to the emergency department (ED) and diagnosed as having
an ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Which question
should the nurse ask to determine whether the patient is a candidate for
fibrinolytic therapy?
What time did your chest pain begin?
During the administration of the fibrinolytic agent to a patient with an acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), the nurse should stop the drug infusion if the
patient experiences
a decrease in level of consciousness.
Three days after a myocardial infarction (MI), the patient develops chest pain
that increases when taking a deep breath and is relieved by leaning forward.
Which action should the nurse take next?
