serted?
11. How are incompatible in separate ports
drugs given to a patient
with a PICC line?
12. What are the nursing re- - keep dressing secured and sterile
sponsibilities when car- - keep line patent by flushing at intervals as ordered and assess
ing for a patient with a patency Q shift
PICC line?
13. When teaching a patient - extreme/ unusual fatigue
with HF about s/sx that - coughing at night
indicate a need to con- - difficulty breathing
tact the primary health
care provider, which clini-
cal manifestations would
the nurse include?
14. Which compensatory - Increased blood volume
changes occur in the C/V - Increased cardiac output
system during pregnan- - enlargement of the heart
cy?
15. Which adverse hemody- - decreased ventricular filling time
namic effects typically oc- - lower cardiac output
cur when a client devel- - weaker pulse quality
ops tachycardia?

16. what is the expect- - increased contractile force of the myocardium
ed therapeutic effect of - slows the HR
digoxin? - increases CO
- increase the stroke volume of the heart
- decreases the refractory period of the AV node and decreases
conduction through the SA and AV nodes
17. What clinical manifesta- intermittent claudication ( pain when exercising) and thickened toe-
tions are expected of a nails
patient with chronic PAD?
18. What clinical manifesta- -edema of the feet and ankles
tions are expected of a - reddened and painful areas on the calves
patient with chronic PVD? - ulcers around the ankles with a dull ache in the legs
19. A patient with left ven- - diuresis: dig increases kidney perfusion --> urine formation and
tricular HF and SVT is diuresis
prescribed digoxin 0.25 - decreased edema
mg daily. Which changes - decreased pulse rate
would the nurse expect
to find if this medication
is therapeutically effec-
tive?
20. JVD is a specific sign of - right sided
what type of HF? How is it - diuretics
treated?
21. What would be the rea- - to reduce the cardiac manifestations: tachycardia, a-fib, and systolic
son to prescribe atenolol hypertension
for a patient with hyper- - CO is increased in hyperthyroidism
thyroidism?
