ANSWERS 2026 COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE
◉ ST segment elevation. Answer: The classical ECG change with
muscle injury in acute myocardial infarction is:
◉ CHF. Answer: Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur
in which response below?
◉ Increased CO. Answer: The major therapeutic goal in the
treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
◉ Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility.
Answer: You receive orders to start nitroprusside and dobutamine in
your patient with end-stage cardiomyopathy. How will this tx
regimen affect CO?
◉ Encourage the patient to ventilate his/her concerns. Answer: In
dealing with a depressed pt during the first days post AMI the most
appropriate nursing action would be:
◉ change in mental status. Answer: Mr Seamore is receiving
thrombolytics (TPA) 3 hrs after an AMI. Which of the following
would most likely require discontinuing the infusion?
, ◉ Pulmonary artery occlusion (wedge). Answer: The following
monitor pattern would indicate that the pulmonary artery (swan
ganz) catheter is in which position?
◉ Aortic stenosis. Answer: A systolic murmur that is auscultated at
the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called:
◉ High to low. Answer: Which of the following wave patterns
indicates proper functioning of an arterial line?
◉ 8-10 minutes. Answer: After an arterial catheter is removed,
direct pressure should be applied to the artery for how long?
◉ Right atrium. Answer: A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in
the:
◉ Rt heart failure. Answer: An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
◉ Lt ventricle. Answer: The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge)
pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
◉ 11-20. Answer: The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
