NRNP6566 week 9 Knowledge check The factors considered when prescribing antibiotics empirically include the site of infection and the organism most likely colonizing the site, prior knowledge of microorganism that is known to colonize the patient, and local bacterial resistance patterns or antibiograms of important pathogens that are available in most hospitals (Leekha et al., 2011). For a patient suspected with otitis media, the most common bacterial pathogens in the middle ear are Streptoco...

A patient with respiratory failure has hemodynamic monitoring and is receiving mechanical ventilation with peak end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 10 cm H2O. Which information indicates that a change in the ventilator settings may be required? a. The arterial line shows a blood pressure of 90/46. b. The pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) is decreased. c. The cardiac monitor shows a heart rate of 58 beats/min. d. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) is increased.

1. Question: When possible, where is the best place to position the board for a chest X-ray? 2. Question: When reviewing an X-ray, all of the following are correct EXCEPT: 3. Question: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is controversial; however, it is useful in some cases. What is the normal level of PSA for an older man over 65? 4. Question: What area of the heart conducts the electrical signal down and up through the heart from the nodes to the myocardium? 5. Question: Your patient’s live...

NRNP6566 week 9 Knowledge check QUESTION 1 1. What factors are considered when making empiric antibiotic decisions? Apply those factors to a patient with suspected acute otitis media. QUESTION 2 1. A 32 year old preschool teacher complains of difficulty swallowing, sore throat, and chills. She is febrile with a temperature of 101.6 along with white patches on her tonsils. Her rapid strep test is positive. Her past medical history is positive for an anaphylactic reaction to cefaclor two ...
