Question 1

Defibrillation using a monophasic defibrillator requires initial setting at _____________ watt-seconds.

Accepted Answer

Defibrillation using a monophasic defibrillator typically requires an initial setting of 360 watt-seconds. This high energy level is used to ensure that the electrical shock delivered is sufficient to depolarize the heart muscles uniformly, aiming to terminate any life-threatening arrhythmias and restore a normal heart rhythm.

Question 2

All of the following nursing measures are carried out while maintaining an arterial line except

Accepted Answer

Maintaining the pressure infusion bag below 300 mm Hg is not relevant to maintaining an arterial line. The other options listed are all important measures to ensure proper functioning and monitoring of the arterial line.

Question 3

Even though several readings are obtained,why are only two output readings used to record the client's cardiac output?

Accepted Answer

The high and low readings are discarded in order to obtain a more accurate reading.The two most similar readings are averaged to obtain the cardiac output.

Question 4

Which one of the following statements is true regarding cardioversion?

Accepted Answer

Cardioversion may be used to treat ventricular tachycardia. Choices A and B are not accurate, as vital signs are taken more frequently than stated and cardioversion may be necessary in emergency situations. Choice D is incorrect, as the shock is delivered during the QRS complex, not the T wave.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The answer of List data that should be charted in...

Question 9

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for

Accepted Answer

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless ventricular tachycardia, as it interrupts the irregular electrical activity of the heart and allows for the heart to reset its normal rhythm. Supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and premature ventricular contractions have different treatments, such as medications or other interventions.

Question 10

Initial ventilator settings should include

Accepted Answer

Initial ventilator settings should include an FIO2 of 0.4-1.0 to ensure adequate oxygenation, especially in acute settings where the patient's oxygenation status is uncertain.

Question 11

Measures to help prevent ventilator associated pneumonia include

Accepted Answer

Providing frequent meticulous oropharyngeal hygiene helps reduce the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia by minimizing the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity.

Question 13

Place the following nursing actions in order from 1 to 5 for the skill Withdrawing Arterial Blood Samples.
A)turn stopcock off to client__________
B)attach tube to Vacutainer to establish blood draw for discard__________
C)remove cap from open (blood sampling)port on 3-way stopcock__________
D)turn stopcock off to flush soluion__________
E)attach Vacutainer to open (blood sampling)port on 3-way stopcock__________

Accepted Answer

The answer of Place the following nursing actions in order...

Question 14

Volutrauma is a complication of mechanical ventilation that can be prevented by reducing the

Accepted Answer

Volutrauma is caused by high tidal volumes, also known as overinflation, which can lead to alveolar damage and rupture. Therefore, reducing tidal volume can prevent this complication. Choices A, B, and C do not directly affect volutrauma.

Question 15

Match between columns
                        Premises: A baseline assessment includes vital signs,ECG,serum electrolytes.
The client should not have been receiving anticoagulant-all coagulant laboratory values should be normal.
A consent form is needed for this procedure.
Food and fluids are withheld for 6-12 hours before cardioversion.
The machine is set on the nonsynchronized mode for cardioversion

Accepted Answer

The Answer of True and False is...

Question 16

Vasopressin
Atropine
Amiodarone
Magnesium sulphate

Accepted Answer

Question 17

Match between columns Premises: The balloon is not inflated for more than 30-40 seconds to prevent overwedging. The balloon is deflated by gently withdrawing the air by pulling back on the plunger of the syringe. 2-3 mL of air is injected into the balloon port when obtaining a pulmonary artery wedge pressure. The proximal port of the catheter is used for taking the pulmonary artery pressure readings. The "mean" designation is used on the monitor when obtaining the pulmonary artery wedge pressure.

Accepted Answer

The Answer of False and True is...

Question 18

Match between columns Premises: In addition to emergency medications, oxygen equipment, NG tubes, suction catheters, and IV solutions are usually kept in the emergency cart. Equipment should be placed in cart drawers in the order in which it is most commonly needed in an emergency.
The emergency cart is routinely checked only after each use. Dry 4×4 gauze pads are placed on the client’s chest prior to defibrillation to prevent a burn. The defibrillator is placed in the synchronized mode for defibrillation.

Accepted Answer

The Answer of False and True is...
