Pulmonary Hypertension/Invasive Monitoring Questions from Lecture 1. A client is being assessed for his semiannual examination and you hear crackles bilaterally in his lungs. Which of the following could be a cause of crackles in the bases of his lungs? a) b) c) d) Pulmonary congestion Pulmonary hypertension Heart palpitations Mitral valve Stenosis 2. The critical care nurse is caring for a patient with a central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring system. The nurse notes that the patient's CVP is increasing. What may this be indicative of? a) b) c) d) Hypovolemia Hypervolemia Hypermagnesemia Hypomagnesemia 3. How is hemodynamic monitoring achieved? a) b) c) d) Noninvasive monitoring systems Extracorporeal monitoring systems Direct pressure monitoring systems Partial pressure monitoring systems 4. A critically ill patient is admitted to the ICU. The physician decides to use intra-arterial pressure monitoring. What is the purpose of this? a) b) c) d) To assess left ventricular function To assess the pressure of the vena cava To assess the pressure in the right atrium To measure the patient's BP continually 5. You are a critical care nurse caring for a patient who has suffered an MI. You know that the most appropriate hemodynamic monitoring procedure to assess the left ventricular function of a patient who has suffered an MI would be what? a) b) c) d) CVP monitoring Pulmonary artery pressure monitoring (PAPM) Systemic arterial pressure monitoring (SAPM) Arterial blood gases (ABG)
