CHA EXAM #3 PRACTICE QUESTIONS
& ANSWERS GRADED TO PASS!!
1 of 55
Term
The client diagnosed with a MI is 6 hours post-right femoral
percutaneous trasnluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), also know as
balloon surgery. Which assessment data would require immediate
intervention by the nurse?
Give this one a try later!
, Client is complaining of numbness in the
right foot (may indicated decreased blood
supply)
Monitor the clients potassium level and asses the clients intake of
banana and orange juice
(these are high in potassium, patient on diuretics excrete potassium)
Have patient sit down immediately
(then STAT EKG, then vitals and nitroglycerin)
Hematoma Formation and hemorrhage, leg must be kept
extended and immobile for several hours
Don't know?
2 of 55
Term
The client who is 1 day post-op CABG surgery is exhibiting
sinus tachycardia. Which intervention should the nurse
implement.
Give this one a try later!
Notify health care provider
immediately
Client is able to perform
ADLS without dyspnea (S3 indicates left ventricular failure,
, potential life-threatening
complication of MI)
Determine is the The cleints BP is 90/58
client is having pain
(CCB can lower BP so patient could
(treat the cause) bottom out.)
Don't know?

Term
Then nurse is developing a discharge teaching plan for the
client
diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Which
interventions should be included in plan? SATA
Give this one a try later!
Assess the clients chest dressing and vitals
(always ASSESS client first)
-Count radial pulse and remove saltshaker
(low sodium diet, monitor urine output, take diuretics in mornings)
Apical pulse rate of 110 and 4+ pitting edema of feet
(also tachycardia, dependent edema, fatigue, S3 sounds, lung
congestions, change in mental status)
, Amidodarone
(This will suppress ventricular ectopy and is the drug of choice for
ventricular dysrhythmias)
Don't know?
4 of 55
Term
A client is admitted for a coronary artery bypass graft.
The client states that the preoperative teaching materials
contain information about pacemaker wires being
inserted during surgery as a
precautionary measure. The client asks, "What is the purpose of
the pacemaker?" What is the best response by the nurse?
Give this one a try later!
In case to too slow of a Hematoma formation and
heart rate, the epicardial hemorrhage, leg must be kept
leads are attached to a extended and immobile for
pacemaker to maintain a several hours
normal rate
Client is complaining of
numbness in the right foot
This test will reflect any
(may indicated decreased heart damage
blood supply)
