While placing a patient on the monitor during admission, a wide-notched P wave is
noted in lead II. What does this most likely indicate?
A. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
B. Myocardial infarction
C. Pulmonary embolism
D. Mitral valve disease
Give this one a try later!
, D. Mitral valve disease
Which of the following may be useful in systolic dysfunction but may be detrimental in
diastolic dysfunction?
A. Beta-blockers
B. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors
C. Aldosterone antagonists
D. Vasodilators
Give this one a try later!
D. Vasodilators
A patient with HF caused by diastolic dysfunction is prescribed carvedilol (Coreg).
What type of drug is carvedilol?
A. Calcium channel blocker
B. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor
C. Alpha- and noncardioselective beta-blocker
D. Cardioselective beta-blocker
Give this one a try later!
C. Alpha- and noncardioselective beta-blocker
Which of the following is the major advantage of minimally invasive direct coronary
artery bypass grafting (MIDCABG)?
,A. Decreased cost
B. Decreased length of stay
C. Avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass
D. Less patient pain
Give this one a try later!
C. avoidance of cardiopulmonary bypass
Unstable angina that presents as pain at rest is likely to be due to progression of CAD
or which of the following?
A. Dysrhythmias
B. Hypertension
C. Coronary artery spasm
D. Anxiety
Give this one a try later!
C. Coronary artery spasm
When pulmonary arterial diastolic pressure (PAd) is more than 5 mm Hg higher than
pulmonary artery occlusive pressure (PAOP), it signals which abnormal condition?
A.Right ventricular failure
B.Left ventricular failure
C.Pulmonary hypertension
D.Systemic hypertension
Give this one a try later!
, C. Pulmonary HTN
*When the PAd is more than 5 mm Hg higher than the PAOP, it is an
indication of pulmonary hypertension. Possible causes of pulmonary
hypertension are passive (e.g., mitral valve disease) or active (e.g., causes of
hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction such as acute respiratory distress
syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or pulmonary
embolism). Pulmonary embolism causes pulmonary hypertension by
mechanical obstruction and by hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
Which drug has Class II and Class III properties?
A. Verapamil (Calan)
B. Propranolol (Inderal)
C. Sotalol (Betapace)
D. Tocainide (Tonocard)
Give this one a try later!
C. Sotalol (Betapace)
Which of the following is the preferred lead for ST segment monitoring for a patient
with a suspected RCA occlusion?
A.I
B. aVR
C. III
D. V1
Give this one a try later!
