1. A nurse is evaluating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a client who has sustained multiple traumas. Which of the following interpretations of a low CVP pressure should the nurse make? A. Fluid overload Rationale: The CVP is the pressure in the vena cava, or right atrium, and is reflective of preload. A client who has fluid overload would have a high CVP value. B. Left ventricular failure Rationale: Left ventricular failure can be detected by an elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure...

ECCO: Hemodynamic Monitoring Critically Ill Patients: Part 2 Quiz with complete solution

HLTH 103 PASSPOINT HEMODYNAMIC QUIZ PassPoint Hemodynamic Quiz QUESTION 1 A client has had a pulmonary artery catheter inserted. In performing hemodynamic monitoring with the catheter, the nurse will wedge the catheter to gain information about: You Selected: • left end-diastolic pressure. Explanation: When wedged, the catheter is “pointing” indirectly at the left end-diastolic pressure. The pulmonary artery wedge pressure is measured when the tip of the catheter is slowing in...

HR x SV= CO CORRECT ANSWER-what is the calculation for cardiac output?*** 1) preload 2) afterload 3) contractility CORRECT ANSWER-what are 3 things that the SV is dependent upon? 1) CVP; right ventricular 2) PAOP (pulmonary artery occlusive pressure); left ventricular CORRECT ANSWER-the preload affects what two measurements of the heart? 1) PVR (pulmonary vascular resistance); right ventricular 2) SVR (systemic vascular resistance); left ventricular CORRECT ANSWER-the afterload affe...

FMP Hemodynamics/Monitoring – Qs And As

Hemodynamic Monitoring and Assessment What is hemodynamic monitoring and why is this important? - correct answer hemodynamics is the basis of our functioning...it's the processes of the cardiovascular system that allow blood flow to reach end organs hemodynamic compromise like low BP, low fluid status etc. leads to inability to perfuse end organs noninvasive monitoring...head to toe assessment, HR, EKG, PO2 tell us how circulatory system is able to perfuse and oxygenate all the organs ...

1. The 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? a. Cardiac index (CI) of 1.2 L/min/m3 b. Cardiac output (CO) of 4 L/min c. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) of 80 dynes/se...

A 60-year-old man with a history of multiple myocardial infarcts is hospitalized for shortness of breath. Physical examination reveals marked jugular distension, hepatomegaly, ascites, and pitting edema. A chest X-ray reveals cardiomegaly. The patient subsequently dies of cardiorespiratory failure. Examination of the lungs at autopsy would most likely disclose which of the following pathologic changes? (A) Diffuse alveolar damage with hyaline membranes (B) Intra-alveolar purulent exudate (C) ...
