Which patient is most at risk for developing delirium?
a. A 50-yr-old woman with cholecystitis
b. A 19-yr-old man with a fractured femur
c. A 42-yr-old woman having an elective hysterectomy
d. A 78-yr-old man admitted to the medical unit with complications related to
heart failure - ANSWER-D
You are caring for a patient who is experiencing delirium due to a lack of sleep.
Which of the following nursing interventions would be *inappropriate* in
treating this patients' condition?
a. You treat the patients' primary diagnosis that is causing the delirium.
b. You turn on the lights and a radio next to the patients' bed to reorient them.
c. You use appropriate touch and verbal communication to help reorient the
patient.
d. You put an easy-to-read clock in the patients' room and a calendar close to
their bed. - ANSWER-B (For treating delirium, the nurse should reduce
environmental stimuli by decreasing noise and light levels.)
,Normal Potassium level - ANSWER-3.5-5.0
Normal PR interval length - ANSWER-<0.2 seconds
Normal QRS interval length - ANSWER-<0.12 seconds
Normal CVP (Central venous pressure) in adults - ANSWER-2-8 mmHg
Normal cardiac output in adults - ANSWER-4-8 L/min
Normal cardiac index in adults - ANSWER-2.2-4 L/min/m squared
Normal MAP in adults - ANSWER-70-105 mmHg
The action of medication is inotropic when it:
A. Decreased afterload
B. Increases heart rate
C. Increases the force of contraction
D. Is used to treat CHF - ANSWER-C (Inotropic drugs increase the force of
contraction. Preload, not afterload, is decreased. Chronotropic drugs increase
heart rate. Treatment of CHF is an indication for use not an action of inotropic
drug.)
Which of the following ECG findings alerts the nurse that the client needs an
antiarrhythmic?
A. Normal sinus rhythm
B. Sinus bradycardia
,C. Sinus arrhythmia
D. Frequent ventricular ectopy - ANSWER-D (Ventricular ectopy can be a life-
threatening arrhythmia; therefore, the client needs an arrhythmic. Other
choices are not arrhythmias that need to be treated. An ectopic rhythm is an
irregular heart rhythm due to a premature heartbeat. Ectopic rhythm is also
known as premature atrial contraction, premature ventricular contraction, and
extrasystole. When your heart experiences an early beat, a brief pause usually
follows.)
When administering an antiarrhythmic agent, which of the following
assessment parameters is the most important for the nurse to evaluate?
A. ECG
B. Pulse rate
C. Respiratory rate
D. Blood pressure - ANSWER-A (The ECG is the most important parameter to
assess. B, C, and D need to be monitored, but the ECG is the most important.)
Epinephrine is used to treat cardiac arrest and status asthmaticus because of
which of the following actions?
A. Increased speed of conduction and gluconeogenesis
B. Bronchodilation and increased heart rate, contractility, and conduction
C. Increased vasodilation and enhanced myocardial contractility
D. Bronchoconstriction and increased heart rate - ANSWER-B (Bronchodilation
results from stimulated beta receptors, and cardiac effects result from the
stimulation of ß1 receptors. Choice A does not address respiratory effects of
medication. Choice C is incorrect because α-stimulating drugs cause
vasoconstriction. Bronchodilation, not bronchoconstriction, results from ß2
activity.)
, Following norepinephrine (Levophed) administration, it is essential to the nurse
to assess:
A. electrolyte status
B. color and temperature of toes and fingers
C. capillary refill
D. ventricular arrhythmias - ANSWER-B (Because decreased perfusion is a side
effect of norepinephrine (Levophed), the nurse must check circulation
frequently. Capillary refill is not a reliable indication of perfusion in a shock
state. Choices A and D are not specific for norepinephrine.)
When administering dopamine (Intropin), it is most important for the nurse to
know that:
A. the drug's action varies according to the dose.
B. the drug may be used instead of fluid replacement.
C. the drug cannot be directly mixed in solutions containing bicarbonate or
aminophylline.
D. the lowest dose to produce the desired effect should be used. - ANSWER-C
(The nurse is responsible for knowing compatible solutions before
administering dopamine (Intropin). It is important to know that drug action
varies by dose, but the physician is responsible for determining the dose.
Dopamine should not be used instead of fluid replacement. Choice D is
incorrect because, although it is true, it is not the nurse's primary concern. It is
a collaborative action in which the physician is involved in determining the
rate.)
Dobutamine (Dobutrex) improves cardiac output and is indicated for use in all
of the following conditions except:
A. septic shock
B. congestive heart failure
