LATEST UPDATE QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+
Signs and symptoms of CHF: - ans--JVD (right side)
-Dependent edema (right side)
-Use of accessory muscles (left side)
High BP, rapid HR, rapid RR
-Fluid in the lungs (crackles) (left side)
One of the most common signs of a hypertensive emergency: - ans-
Sudden, severe headache
Signs and symptoms of a hypertensive emergency: - ans--strong,
bounding pulse
-ringing in the ears
-nausea/vomiting
-dizziness
Untreated hypertensive emergencies can lead to: - ans-stroke or
dissecting aortic aneurysm
A weakness in the wall of the aorta: - ans-Aortic aneurysm
Occurs when the inner layers of the aorta become separated, allowing
blood to flow between the layers. - ans-Dissecting aortic aneurysm
, What is the primary cause of dissecting aortic aneurysms? - ans-
Uncontrolled hypertension
Signs and symptoms of a dissecting aortic aneurysm: - ans-Very sudden
chest pain located in the anterior part of the chest or in the back
between the shoulder blades
Nitroglycerin action: - ans-Activates the sympathetic NS, relaxes the
muscles of blood vessel walls, dilating coronary arteries, increasing blood
flow and the supply of oxygen to the heart
Contraindications of NTG: - ans-Use of ED drugs within the past 24-48
hours, maximum dose has already been given, BP is below 100
Non-shockable rhythms: - ans-Asystole, pulseless electrical activity
Only apply the AED to: - ans-Pulseless, unresponsive patients
After the shock is delivered to a cardiac arrest patient, you should: - ans-
Continue CPR for 5 cycles (2 minutes) and analyze rhythm again.
If ALS is not responding to the scene and your local protocols agree, you
should begin transport when: - ans-1. The patient regains a pulse
2. 6-9 shocks have been delivered
3. the machine gives 3 separate messages that no shock is advised
If you are traveling to the hospital and a pulse is not present: - ans-1. Stop
the vehicle
2. If the AED is not available, perform CPR
3. Call ALS
4. Analyze rhythm
5. Deliver one shock (if indicated) and resume CPR
