, SECTION 1 | Cardiovascular | Q1-Q8 | CCRN Critical Care Nursing Exam -- 2026 2026/2027
Q1 Question 1 of 50
A 62-year-old male is admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with chest pain radiating to his left arm. His
initial ECG shows ST-segment elevation in leads V2 through V4, and his troponin I level is elevated at 4.8
ng/mL. The nurse prepares for the most definitive initial intervention for this presentation. What is the priority
treatment for this patient?
A. Immediate percutaneous coronary intervention to restore blood flow to the occluded artery, as
ST-elevation myocardial infarction requires urgent revascularization
B. Administration of beta-blockers to reduce myocardial oxygen demand and slow the heart rate to below 60
beats per minute
C. Initiation of continuous heparin infusion to prevent further clot propagation without mechanical intervention
D. Bed rest with supplemental oxygen at 6 liters per minute via nasal cannula for 24 hours before
reassessment
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
ST-elevation myocardial infarction requires immediate reperfusion therapy, with PCI being the gold standard for restoring
blood flow. Option B is a supportive treatment but not the definitive intervention, and option C with heparin alone does not
address the complete occlusion requiring mechanical opening.
Q2 Question 2 of 50
A 58-year-old female with a history of mitral valve stenosis presents to the ICU with acute decompensated
heart failure. Her pulmonary artery catheter shows a pulmonary artery wedge pressure of 28 mmHg and a
cardiac output of 3.2 L/min. The nurse recognizes that the elevated PAWP directly reflects which
physiological parameter?
A. Right ventricular afterload, which is elevated because of the compensatory increase in pulmonary vascular
resistance
B. Systemic vascular resistance, which has risen secondary to the decreased cardiac output and
compensatory vasoconstriction
C. Coronary artery perfusion pressure, which is compromised due to the increased left ventricular
end-diastolic volume
D. Left atrial pressure, which is increased due to the stenotic mitral valve obstructing blood flow from the left
atrium to the left ventricle
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The pulmonary artery wedge pressure reflects left atrial pressure, and in mitral stenosis the obstruction between the left
atrium and ventricle causes the left atrial pressure to rise significantly. Option B incorrectly relates PAWP to right ventricular
afterload, and option C confuses PAWP with systemic vascular resistance.
