ANSWERS Measured in the SVC and it monitors the Right Heart.
Where is the PAP measured and what part of the body does it monitor? - CORRECT
ANSWERS Measured at the pulmonary artery and looks at the Lungs
Where and how is the PCWP measured and what part of the body does it monitor? -
CORRECT ANSWERS PAP looks at the Left heart
Increase balloon pressure (left heart)

What will happen to the CVP, PAP, and PCWP if a pt is in right heart failure or cor pulmonale? -
CORRECT ANSWERS CVP goes up. PAP Goes down or stays normal. PCWP goes down or
stays normal.
What will cause a downslope on an arterial wave form? - CORRECT ANSWERS Decrease
in pressure- dyastolic phase.
