Therapeutic dosing and monitoring of warfarin (Coumadin) Treatment with warfarin should be initiated with standard doses of 5–10 mg. The initial adjustment of the prothrombin time takes about 1 week, which usually results in a maintenance dosage of 5–7 mg/d. The prothrombin time (PT) should be increased to a level representing a reduction of prothrombin activity to 25% of normal and maintained there for long-term therapy. When the activity is less than 20%, the warfarin dosage should be r...

A nurse is discussINg the pressure generated at the end of diastole. Which term is the nurse describINg? Preload Afterload Systemic vascular resistance Total peripheral resistance ANSWERS A Preload, not afterload, is the volume and associated pressure generated IN the ventricle at the end of diastole. Afterload is the resistance to ejection of blood from the left ventricle. Systemic vascular resistance is related to afterload. Total peripheral resistance INcreases afterload. R...

CVP Exam 4 Questions & Answers 2023/2024 List the important points on the EKG: depolarization of atria and ventricles, repolarization of atria and ventricles - ANSWER-1) P wave - atria depolirizing 2) QRS - ventricles depolarizing (makes sense that it's bigger) 3) T wave is repolarization of the ventricles 4) Where's atrial repolarization? (test question) - It's burried in the QRS. Hard to notice it List the pathway for a droplet of blood starting with entering at vena cava - ANSW...
