Correct Answers | Latest Update
The nurse is caring for a patient with acute inferior wall MI, post-coronary artery stent
deployment. For optimal care of the patient, the nurse should:
a) administer an analgesic for acute back pain
b) Apply pressure dressing to groin
c) Continuously monitor the patient in lead II
d) Maintain the patient in a supine position
✓ -:- Answer: C
It is best practice to continuously monitor the patient status post PCI with stent, in the lead
that was most abnormal during the acute occlusion. Lead II would most likely meet this
criterion for the patient with an inferior wall MI. The remaining interventions are NOT
indicated for the patient post PCI.
The patient with aortic regurgitation will have which of the following on auscultation?
a) Diastolic murmur, loudest at the 5th intercostal space, midclavicular
b) Systolic murmur, loudest at the apex of the heart
c) Diastolic murmur, loudest at the second intercostal space, right sternal border
d) Systolic murmur, loudest at the base of the heart
the anatomical distance between the right coronary artery and the papillary muscle. The
remaining choices are not common complications of inferior MI.
Pulmonary hypertension may result in which of the following?
a) Left heart failure
b) Right heart failure
c) Increased lung compliance
d) Arterial hypertension
✓ -:- Answer: B
The right ventricular wall normally is thinner than the left because the RV generally ejects
into a low pressure pulmonary system with a mean pulmonary pressure of approximately 20
mmHg. An increase in pulmonary pressure may result in failure of the RV.
The patient with a temporary transvenous pacemaker develops pacemaker malfunction. The
orientee is instructed to reposition the patient to try to correct the problem. The cardiac
monitor most likely demonstrates:
a) Periods of asystole without pacemaker activity
b) Runs of ventricular tachycardia
c) Pacemaker spikes without a QRS
