B) Kidney Damage
C) Stroke
D) Heart Attack - ANS-B-Kidney Damage
A patient is given iodinated contrast material. You instruct the patient to drink more
fluids. The reason for increasing fluid intake is to: - ANS-Keep the patient hydrated so
the patient does not become dehydrated
A patient was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease one year ago. The patient is
scheduled for surgery. Which of the following is important to monitor during a procedure
with this patient? - ANS-Heart rate and rhythm
A patient who takes a diuretic drug should be evaluated for: - ANS-excessive fluid loss
A symptom of cardiac tamponade is: - ANS-Hypotension
ABG Normal Range for Arterial blood pH - ANS-7.35-7.45
ABG Normal Range for Bicarbonate (HCO3) - ANS-22-28 mEq/L
ABG Normal Range for Oxygen Saturation - ANS-94-100%
ABG Normal Range for Partial Pressure of Carbon Dioxide - ANS-38-42 mmHg
ABG Normal Range for Partial Pressure of Oxygen (PaO2) - ANS-75-100 mmHg
American Society of Anesthesiologist Classification for pre-op risk - ANS-1- notmal
healthy patient
, 2-mild systemic disease
3-severe systemic disease
4- severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life
5- a moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation
6- a declared brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donor purposes
An artifical heart is often referred to as a: - ANS-Biventricular replacement device
