,- vasodilator drug
- guide with side holes
- temporary pacing wire ✔Correct Answer-- vasodilator drug
- guide with side holes
- temporary pacing wire
7. What information is required prior to prepping the patient for the procedure? (choose 4)
- NPO status
- patient allergies
- patient identifiers
- advance directives
- last H&P 40 days ago
- last visit to primary physician ✔Correct Answer-- NPO status

8. Which of the following inotropic agents predominately stimulates beta 1 receptors?
- Isuprel
- dopamine
- dobutamine
- epinephrine ✔Correct Answer-- dobutamine
9. What is the desired hemodynamic effect of an intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation?
- increased preload
- increased afterload
- increased coronary blood flow
- increased myocardial oxygen demand ✔Correct Answer-- Increased coronary blood flow
10. Which actions should be completed when prepping the patient for a transradial cardiac
catheterization? (chose 2 responses)
- prep right groin
- position wrist in prone position
- IV antibiotics given for the procedure
- start IV on same arm as radial access
- Allen's test performed prior to wrist prep ✔Correct Answer-- prep right groin
- Allen's test performed prior to wrist prep
11. Cardiac index is calculated by dividing cardiac output in liters per minute by
- heart rate
- stroke volume
- body surface area
- mean ventricular pressure ✔Correct Answer-- body surface area
12. The patient has a pulse but is in respiratory arrest. You must give 1 breath every _______
seconds.
, - 2-3
- 3-4
- 4-5
- 5-6 ✔Correct Answer-- 5-6
13. Why is rapid ventricular pacing used for an aortic balloon valvuloplasty procedure?
- to increase oxygen demand for coronary perfusion
- to increase cardiac output during the balloon inflation
- to reduce the amount of balloon movement during inflation
- to reduce the need for coronary perfusion during the inflation period ✔Correct Answer-- to
reduce the amount of balloon movement during inflation
14. Immediate ED general treatment should include
- aspirin, Lasix, nitroglycerin, and oxygen
- aspirin, Lasix, morphine, and nitroglycerin

- personal protective equipment ✔Correct Answer-- personal protective equipment
16. Which atherectomy catheters shave and sand away plaque?
- orbital and directional
- vascular and intraspinal
- sculpting balloon and stent
- cutting balloon and infusion catheter ✔Correct Answer-- orbital and directional
17. What type of catheter is used for a thrombectomy?
- ablation
- perfusion
- extraction
- rotational ✔Correct Answer-- extraction
18. One advantage of using a percutaneous left ventricular assist device is that they
- do not decrease preload
- require a small sheath size
- eliminate the need to treat ischemic lesions
- provide perfusion regardless of patient's intrinsic rate ✔Correct Answer-- provide perfusion
regardless of patient's intrinsic rate
