AACN CSC Review CourseSession 2 questions fully
solved &updated
4th ICS, midaxillary line - answer phlebostatic axis
RA - answer proximal port of PA Cath is in _______
PA - answer distal port of PA Cath is in ______
2mmHg - answer for every 1 inch off phlebostatic axis,
SBP/PAP/SVP will be a ______ difference
plusus paradoxus - answer SBP fall >10mmHg w/ inspiration,
increases w/ expiration. seen in tamponade
pulsus alternans - answer alternating strong and weak pulses on
art line tracing, often a sign of LV failure
A wave - answer part of CVP waveform showing atrial contraction;
follows EKG P wave
C wave - answer part of CVP waveform showing tricuspid valve
closure; follows EKG R wave b/c it's generated by beginning of
ventricular systole
V wave - answer part of CVP waveform showing atrial filling; peaks
just after EKG T wave
, X descent - answer part of CVP waveform showing decline in
pressure w/ onset of systole.
Y descent - answer part of CVP waveform showing diastolic
collapse following opening of tricuspid valve
C wave - answer the X descent in a CVP waveform follows the ___
wave.
tricuspid stenosis; dec. ventricular compliance; inc resistance to
ventricular filling - answer causes of large A waves on CVP tracing
AV dissociation resulting in atrial contraction against a closed
tricuspid valve - answer cause of cannon A waves
afib; junctional rhythm; v-pacing w/o atrial contraction; ventricular
rhythms - answer rhythms that cause absent A waves on CVP
tracing
tricuspid regurgitation; noncompliant atria; ventricular ischemia or
failure - answer causes of large V waves on CVP tracing
tricuspid regurgitation - answer -causes high pressure in atria w/
RV contraction and back flow of blood into RA
-large "v" waves
-loss of "x" descent and large "y" descent
tamponade - answer condition where CVP waveform has
obliteration of "y" descent, and "x" descent becomes very
exaggerated
