BKAT 9R WEEK 3 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS
Beta Blockers
Initial measures for the treatment of angina pectoris do not include which response below?
ST segment elevation
The classical ECG change with muscle injury in acute myocardial infarction is:
CHF
Elevated cardiac iso-enzymes generally do not occur in which response below?
Increased CO
The major therapeutic goal in the treatment of cariogenic shock is to:
Reduces preload and after load and improves contractility
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
In dealing with a depressed pt during the first days post AMI the most appropriate nursing action
would be:
change in mental status
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)
The following monitor pattern would indicate that the pulmonary artery (swan ganz) catheter is
in which position?
Aortic stenosis
A systolic murmur that is auscultated at the 2nd intercostal space, right sternal border is called:
, High to low
Which of the following wave patterns indicates proper functioning of an arterial line?
8-10 minutes
After an arterial catheter is removed, direct pressure should be applied to the artery for how
long?
Right atrium
A CVP reading directly reflects pressure in the:
Rt heart failure
An elevated CVP reading may indicate:
Lt ventricle
The pulmonary artery occlusive (wedge) pressure (PAOP) reflects pressure in the:
11-20
The normal pulmonary artery pressure is:
6-12
How many mmHg is the normal PAOP?
Lt ventricular failure
An elevated PAOP may indicate:
Diltiazem
Mr Adams, a 68 yo pt, c/o feeling "a little funny in his chest". His ECG shows Afib/flutter.
Which of the following meds could be used to tx his cardiac rhythm?
BBB
A QRS complex wider that .12 sec most likely indicates:
Infiltration leads to tissue necrosis
