COMPREHENSIVE
PREDICTOR 2019 FORM
A
1. The nurse suspects the patient has increased afterload. Which piece of
equipment should the nurse obtain to determine the presence of this
condition?
a. Pulse oximeter
b. Oxygen cannula
c. Blood pressure cuff
d. Yankauer suction tip catheter
ANS: C
A blood pressure cuff is needed. The diastolic aortic pressure is a good clinical
measure of afterload. Afterload is the resistance to left ventricular ejection. In
hypertension the afterload increases, making cardiac workload also increase. A
pulse oximeter is used to monitor the level of arterial oxygen saturation; it will
not help determine increased afterload. While an oxygen cannula may be
needed to help decrease the effects of increased afterload, it will not help
determine the presence of afterload. A Yankauer suction tip catheter is used to
suction the oral cavity.
2. A patient has heart failure and cardiac output is decreased. Which
formula can the nurse use to calculate cardiac output?
a. Myocardial contractility × Myocardial blood flow
b. Ventricular filling time/Diastolic filling time
c. Stroke volume × Heart rate
