CCRN EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+ A 59 year old male is admitted complaining of chest pain and dyspnea. ST elevation and T wave inversion were seen on the EKG in V2,V3 and V4. IV thrombolytic therapy was started in ED. Indications of successful reperfusion would include all of the following except: (A) pain cessation (B) decrease in CK or troponin (C) reversal of ST segment elevation with return to baseline (D) short runs of ventricular tachycardia (B)Coronary artery reperfusion due t...

To assess CPR quality, which should you do? - Monitor the patient's PetCO2 Which facility is the most appropriate EMS destination for a patient with sudden cardiac arrest who achieved return a spontaneous circulation in the field? - Coronary reperfusion-capable medical center Which of the following signs is a likely indicator of cardiac arres...

A male client notifies the nurse that he feels short of breath and has chest pressure radiating down his left arm. A STAT 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is obtained and shows ST segment elevation in leads II, II, aVF and V4R. The nurse collects blood samples and gives a normal saline bolus. What action is most important for the nurse to implement? a- Obtain the results for STAT serum cardiac biomarkers b- Asses for contraindications for thrombolytic therapy c- Measure ST-segment height and...

A 59 year old male is admitted complaining of chest pain and dyspnea. ST elevation and T wave inversion were seen on the EKG in V2,V3 and V4. IV thrombolytic therapy was started in ED. Indications of successful reperfusion would include all of the following except: (A) pain cessation (B) decrease in CK or troponin (C) reversal of ST segment elevation with return to baseline (D) short runs of ventricular tachycardia - correct answer (B)Coronary artery reperfusion due to PCI or fibrinolysis...

1. A pt presents to the ED complaining of a 2 day history of a dull substernal ache that has continued to increase in intensity. The pt states that they had some relief after taking nitro yesterday. Vitals: 114/68 BP, 68 HR, 22RR. The EKG demonstrates a new onset of left bundle branch block. The priority intervention for this pt is: A. Continue monitoring for development of ST segment elevation B. Serial cardiac markers C. Preparing the pt for transport to interventional cardiology ...
