The nurse recognizes which of the following as the most likely instances of chronic pain? Select all that apply. (Answers: D, F – lower back pain, arthritis) Chapter 16, Question 1: The nurse is explaining to a patient with dysrhythmia how the heart conducts impulses that cause myocardial cells to contract simultaneously. The patient asks what structure allows this conduction from cell to cell. Which structure should the nurse mention? A) Intercalated disks B) Nuclei C) Mitochondria D) Ribosomes (Answer: A) Chapter 21, Question 1: A patient has been found to be at high risk for cardiovascular disease after a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) blood test indicated a value of 3.0 mg/dL. The patient would like to know what this test measures. What would be the best answer for the nurse to give? A) Systemic inflammation related to atherosclerosis B) Cardiac output following myocardial infarction C) Blood pressure related to congestive heart failure D) Lipid levels in connection with stress response (Answer: A) Chapter 27, Question 1: A patient with worsening tachypnea and dyspnea has a PaO2/FiO2 ratio of 190, bilateral infiltrates on chest x-ray, pulmonary artery occlusive pressure (PAOP) of 15 mm Hg, and no indication of left atrial hypertension. Which of these findings indicates that the patient has acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), as opposed to just acute lung injury (ALI)? A) PaO2/FiO2 ratio of 190 B) Bilateral infiltrates on chest x-ray C) PAOP of 15 mm Hg D) No indication of left atrial hypertension (Answer: A) Perfect For: NUR 420, NUR 430, NUR 440, NUR 450, NUR 460, NUR 470 + CCRN (Critical Care Registered Nurse) Certification Prep ⏳ DOWNLOAD INSTANTLY ON STUVIA AND MASTER CRITICAL CARE NURSING TODAY!
