NURS 420 Quiz #2- ANS-A patient has a CVP of 2 (low) what would you anticipate doing first?
A)Give IV Lasix STAT
B)Give several liters of NSS
C)Administer 1 unit of blood
D)Nothing and monitor urine output
a and c
Rationale: CVP should be anywhere from 2-6. CVP 10 is too high. - ANS-A CVP of 10 could
indicate... (Select all that apply)
a. Volume overload
b. Hypovolemia
c. Vasoconstriction
d. Vasodilation
a, b, and c - ANS-Uh-oh! Your patient's ventilator is sounding a high pressure alarm. What
should the nurse assess for (Select all that apply)
a. Secretions that need to be suctioned
b. Kink in tubing
c. Patient fighting the ventilator
d. Tube or cuff displacement or failure
e. Air leak
A, B, and D - ANS-Decreased preload is associated with which of the following shock states?
(Select all that apply)
A.Hypovolemic
B.Septic
C.Cardiogenic
D.Neurogenic
a, b, c, and e
Rationale: Can only measure arterial BP with an A line - ANS-What can you measure with a PA

resistance (SVR) would worsen cardiogenic shock. - ANS-The nurse is developing a care plan
for the patient in cardiogenic shock. What is the goal for therapy?
a. Decreasing afterload
b. Increasing systemic vascular resistance (SVR)
c. Increasing myocardial workload
