he nurse is providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to an infant. Which pulse does the nurse plan to assess?A. CarotidB. BrachialC. PedalD. Radial

The nurse enters a client's room who is found on the ground. The nurse should perform which initial action?A. Assess the client’s level of consciousnessB. Examine the client for injuriesC. Call the rapid response team (RRT)D. Palpate the client’s carotid pulse

When caring for a patient who has septic shock, which assessment finding ismost important for the nurse to report to the care provider?(a) BP 92/56(b) Skin cool and clammy(c) Apical pulse 118 beats/min(d) Arterial oxygen saturation 91%

The charge nurse has a Vigileo pulse contour cardiac output monitoring system available for use in the surgical intensive care unit. For which patient is use of this device most appropriate?Not quite, you're still learning!A patient with a history of aortic insufficiency admitted with a postoperative myocardial infarctionA mechanically ventilated patient with cardiogenic shock being treated with an intraaortic balloon pumpA patient with a history of atrial fibrillation having frequent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardiaA mechanically ventilated patient admitted following repair of an acute bowel obstruction

he nurse is caring for a 100-kg patient being monitored with a pulmonary artery catheter. The nurse assesses a blood pressure of 90/60 mm Hg, heart rate 110 beats/min, respirations 36/min, oxygen saturation of 89% on 3 L of oxygen via nasal cannula. Bilateral crackles are audible upon auscultation. Which hemodynamic value requires immediate action by the nurse?No worries, learning is a process!Cardiac index (CI) of 1.2 L/min/m3Cardiac output (CO) of 4 L/minPulmonary vascular resistance(PVR) of 80 dynes/sec/cm-Systemic vascular resistance (SV) of 1800 dynes/sec/cm-5
