-Which effect does parasympathetic stimulation have on the heart?
A. It increases peripheral vascular resistance.
B. It enhances atrioventricular node function.
C. It shortens His-Purkinje and ventricular muscle refractoriness.
D. It slows sinoatrial node discharge. - -D.
-Hypertension is a finding in which type of poisoning?
A. Opioid
B. Antidepressant
C. Anticholinergic
D. Organophosphate - -C

(Deltasone).
-For which disorder is phenazopyridine (Pyridium) most commonly
administered? - -D. Urethritis
-Rhabdomyolysis is a complication of which type of toxicity?
,A. Central nervous system stimulant

-Which intervention is indicated for a patient with circumferential full-
thickness burns of the chest, inadequate chest expansion, and restlessness?
- -Escharotomy
-Calcium channel blockers are indicated to treat which dysrhythmia?
A. Atrial fibrillation
B. Accelerated junctional tachycardia
C. Second-degree atrioventricular block, type II
D. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia - -A.
Treatment of atrial fibrillation aims to control the rapid ventricular rate with
medications, such as calcium channel blockers or beta-blockers. Calcium
channel blockers are not used to treat the other dysrhythmias listed.
Accelerated junctional tachycardia is a transient rhythm that only requires
,treatment of the underlying disorder. Patients with second-degree
atrioventricular block, type II, require careful monitoring and may need
transcutaneous pacing. Treatment for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is
magnesium sulfate and defibrillation if the patient's condition is unstable.

A. Evening primrose
B. Cinnamon
C. Garlic
D. Skull cap - -B. Cinnamon
-For a patient with a gunshot wound, which intervention is appropriate?
A. Perform a neurovascular assessment of each limb.
B. Estimate the amount of injury based on the wounds appearance.
C. Remove projectiles with Kelly clamps and place them in a sterile
container.
D. Label the entrance and exits wounds. - -A. Perform a neurovascular
assessment of each limb.
-Which disorder is associated with fatty, foul-smelling stool? - -Pancreatitis

which effect of ketoacidosis? - -Tachycardia
-In a pregnant patient, which assessment finding may signal the onset of
preeclampsia? - -A systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg

Atrial fibrillation
-Which of the following statements regarding autonomic dysreflexia is
correct? - -It may occur at any time after spinal shock has subsided.
-A scald burn is most likely to result from which mechanism? - -Exposure to
water at 140°F (60°C)
-Which intervention is used to treat a patient with ventricular fibrillation who
has an implantable cardiac defibrillator?
A. Apply hands-free adhesive patches in the anterior-posterior position and
defibrillate.
B. Wait for the device to fire.
C. Apply hands-free adhesive patches in the standard position and
cardiovert.
D. Apply one hands-free adhesive patch over the device and the other on the
opposite side of the sternum and defibrillate. - -A.
When a patient with an implantable cardiac defibrillator requires external
defibrillation because the implanted device has malfunctioned or failed,
ideally place hands-free adhesive patches in the anterior-posterior position.
Do not wait for the device to fire because a malfunction has occurred if
ventricular fibrillation is present. Cardioversion is not appropriate because no
QRS complexes are present for synchronization. Do not place the adhesive
patches directly over the implantable cardiac defibrillator.
-Organophosphate toxicity produces which sign or symptom?
A. Constipation
B. Salivation
C. Mydriasis
D. Hot, dry skin - -B
-A patient with severe neutropenia has a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C).

A. Obtain blood cultures.
B. Maintain respiratory isolation.
C. Administer packed red blood cells.
