MI, CV disoders


department complaining of squeezing substernal
pain that radiates to the left shoulder and jaw also
complains of nausea, diphoresis, and shortness of
breath. What should the nurse do?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Complete the patient’s registration information, perform
an EKG, gain IV access, and take vital signs
Alert the cardiac catheterization team, administer oxygen,
attach a cardiac monitor, and notify the physician
Gain IV access, give sublingual nitroglycerin, and alert the
cardiac catheterization team
Administer oxygen, attach a cardiac monitor, take vial
signs, and administer sublingual nitroglycerin


The nurse is caring for a patient
receiving spironolactone to treat
hypertension. Which instruction should
the nurse give the patient?
Choose foods high in potassium
B) Take potassium supplements each day
C) Discontinue sodium restrictions
D) Avoid salt substitutes
A)

Diuretic and related drugs











Thiazide diuretics
Loop diuretics
Potassium-sparing diuretics
Aldosterone receptor blockers
Adrenergic inhibitors-central-acting adrenergic
antaginists
Calcium channel-blocking agents
ACE inhibitors
Angiotensin II receptor antagonists
Beta-Adrenergic blockers
Alpha-adrenergic blockers
Vasodilators


The nurse is caring for a 28-year-old
nonsmoker with a deficiency in the
enzyme antitrypsin. To what deficiency
does this predispose the young patient?
Pulmonary edema
B) Development of lobular emphysema
C) Cystic fibrosis
D) Empyema
A)
Changes in Alveolar
Structure with Emphysema
The bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli are destroyed,
and the air spaces within the lobule are enlarged
Changes occur in the lobule,
preserving the peripheral portions of the acinus
Laboratory Assessment






Status if arterial blood gas values for
abnormal oxygenation, ventilation, and
acid-base status
Sputum samples
Hemoglobin and hematocrit blood tests
Serum alpha1-antitrypsin levels drawn
Chest x-ray
Pulmonary function test
Risk Factors for COPD





Tobacco smoke causes 80-90% of
COPD cases!
Passive smoking
Occupational exposure
Ambient air pollution
Genetic abnormalities

Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency
20

A patient diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
has decreased vital lung capacity. The
nurse is aware that vital capacity measures:
A)
B)
C)
D)
The volume of air inhaled and exhaled with
each breath
The volume of air in the lungs after a maximum
inspiration
The maximum volume of air inhaled after
normal expiration
The maximum volume of air exhaled from the
point of maximum inspiration
Lung Capacities




Total Lung Capacity (TLC) = RV+IRV+TV+ERV
Vital Capacity (VC) =IRV+TV+ERV=TLC-RV
Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) = RV+ERV
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = TV+IRV
Pulmonary Function Tests

The most accurate measures for
asthma are pulmonary function tests
using spirometry including




Forced vital capacity (FVC)
Forced expiratory volume in the first
second (FEV1)
Peak expiratory rate flow (PERF)
Chest x-ray to rule out other causes
25

A 10-year-old girl is having an asthma attack
on the school grounds at recess. Which the
following is the preferred treatment to
alleviate her airflow obstruction?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Corticosteroids
Anticholinergics
Beta-adrenergics
Peak flow monitoring device
Medications Used for
Asthma

Quick-relief medications, see Table 24-2,
pp.693



Beta2-adrenergic agonists
Anticholinergics
Long-acting medications, see Table 244, pp.713



Corticosteroids
Long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists
Leukotriene modifiers
20

Auscultation of the lung fields provides the
nurse with information on the type of
breath sound the patient is exhibiting. While
listening over the manubrium, the nurse
auscultates loud expiratory sounds that lst
longer than inspiratory sounds. The nurse
will document her findings as:
A)
B)
C)
D)
Vesicular breath sounds
