A conscious pulseless patient with a continuous-flow left ventricular
assist decide (LVAD) and a history of end-stage heart failure presents to
the ED because of a "low-flow" alarm. The nurse anticipates performing
which intervention first?

B. Auscultation over the pump to ascertain if the device is working

✅✅
C. Administer IV fluids
D. Begin chest compressions - -A) Obtain a BP using a Doppler
and sphygmomanometer


The "low-flow" alarm may be because of decrease preload from
hypotension, dehydration, on structure of the inflow or outflow cannula,
or disconnection of percutaneous leads. LVAD patients should have a
MAP 70-80. In a conscious patient, determining the patient's BP will help
guide therapy and troubleshooting. The patient's LVAD coordinator also
be contacted as soon as possible.

, WRONG ANSWER RATIONALES:

B) auscultation of the pump is prudent to determine if the pump is
functioning properly. device failure has been reported as the second
most common cause of death in LVAD patients. signs of pump failure
include absence of power light on the controller, undetectable blood
pressure while using the Doppler, and inability to auscultation the motor.
C) IV fluids only indicated if MAP is low
D) compressions no indicated in conscious patient

recent body piercings. The ED. It's suspects the patient has:


A. Endocarditis

✅✅-A) Endocarditis

feet. Osler's nodes are defined as painful fingertip lesions, and Roth's
spots are retinal hemorrhages with the presence of whitish spots in the
