CCRN CRITICAL CARE REGISTERED NURSE EXAM LATEST 2023/2024 QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS TEST BANK A 56 yr-old male is admitted to the ICU with a blood pressure of 225/i35 and complains of a headache and nausea. He reports he ran out of blood pressure meds three days ago, but also appears to be confused to the date and situation. What is the most appropriate treatment approach? -Correct Answer= Rapidly lower the diastolic pressure to i00 with iV antihypertensive meds, then continue to gradually reduce the diastolic pressure to 85 with oral antihypertensive meds. The maximum initial decrease should be no more than 25% reduction from initial presenting value. Reducing the blood pressure too quickly can lead to cerebral edema or renal failure. A patient has sepsis, receives Lactated ringers 500ml iV bolus. Which finding indicate that this intervention is having it's intended effect? -Correct Answer= ScvO2 of 72% Early goal directed therapy for sepsis includes early fluid resuscitation at 30 ml/kg to maintain a CVP of 8-i2 or i2-i5 if mechanically ventilated, MAP greater than 65, ScvO2 greater than 70%, and urine output greater than 0.5 kg/hr 72 male patient in iCU for 6 days on the ventilator for treatment of a COPDexacerbation. He hasbeen receiving VTE prophylaxis and subcutaneous Heparin since admission. Today his platelet count decreased significantly to 43,000 and was found to have new DVT on his right upper extremity. What do you suspect is the most likely cause of these findings? -Correct Answer= HiT The hallmark sign of HiT is a significant decrease in platelet count over a 24 hours period (>50%) within 5-i0 days of administering Heparin. The other hallmark sign is a new development of DVT despite being on VTE prophylaxis. TRALi: -Correct Answer= is a complication from a blood transfusion reaction, which causes acutelung injury typically within 6 hours of a blood transfusion. 2 Hallmark signs of HiT: -Correct Answer=Decrease in platelet count over a 24 hr period. New development of DVT despite being on VTE prophylaxis. Values in Early compensated Hypovolemic shock? -Correct Answer= CO 4.0 L/min, HR i35, SV 65,SVR i700, MAP 65 in hypovolemic states, circulating volume is depleted therefore preload and contractility are decreased which leads to a decrease in SV and CO. HR and SV increase as compensatory CCRN CRITICAL CARE REGISTERED NURSE EXAM LATEST 2023/2024 QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS TEST BANK measureto preserve CO, MAP and cerebral perfusion. CCRN CRITICAL CARE REGISTERED NURSE EXAM LATEST 2023/2024 QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS TEST BANK Post-renal failure values: -Correct Answer= Urine output < 200; urine sodium 30; BUN: Creatinine ratio i5:i; urine specific gravity i.0i0 BUN: Creatinine ratio is i5:i, but both the BUN& creatinine are elevated. Urine sodium is typically i-40 mEq/L. What to do in the event of HiT: -Correct Answer= Stop Heparin and administer an alternative directthrombin inhibitor. Warfarin is contraindicated in HiT? T/F -Correct Answer= True - there is also no evidence that shows protamine, corticosteroids, and benadryl are effective treatments for HiT Patients with right ventricular infarctions become preload dependent. Meds that decrease preload should be avoided - which meds are these? -Correct Answer= Morphine, Nitro, Beta blockers and diuretics. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia aka Torsades is treated by? -Correct Answer= Magnesium Myocardial contusions generally impact which parts of the heart? and what would the values be? -Correct Answer= Atria & right ventricle because of the position of the heart in the chest.
