Welcome to our blog - come in, look around and stay a while. This is a place where we can offer each other support, ask/answer questions and share ideas. We are all in this together, working towards a common goal, so remember that you are never alone no matter how tough it gets. Now that we have graduated, our blog will graduate, too, to support us in our early careers as RNs. So check back in from time to time... Ya hear?

1 Hemodynamics are measured with which of the following?
PA catheter
IV catheter
Urinary catheter
Arterial catheter
2 The term hemodynamics describes:

Intropy
Vasoactivity
All of the above
3 Chronotropy is considered a hemodynamic parameter.
True False
4 The blood received by the right atrium is:
Hyperoxygenated
Oxygen depleted
Normally Oxygenated
None of the above
5 Diastole refers to:
The heart contracting
Heart failure
The heart at rest
A myocardial infarction
6 During diastole all the heart valves are closed.
True False
7 Systole refers to:
The heart at rest
The artria contracting and ejecting blood into the ventricles
Heart failure
A myocardial infarction
8 During systole, the AV heart valves are closed.
True False
9 Preload
Occurs during systole
Occurs during diastole
Describes resistance
Describes vasoactivity
10 Afterload
Occurs during systole
Occurs during diastole
Is regulated by volume
Is reflected by MAP and SI
11 Indications for using a PA catheter are:
Conditions of shock
Evaluation of fluid status
Evaluation of cardiac output
All of the above
12 The thermistor port of the PA catheter measures:
PCWP
Pulmonary artery pressure
Blood temperature
BP
13 When the balloon is inflated, the distal port of the PA catheter measures:
PCWP
Pulmonary artery pressure
Blood temperature
BP
14 When the balloon is deflated, the distal port of the PA catheter measures:
PCWP
Pulmonary artery pressure
Blood temperature
BP
15 Nursing care of the patient with the PA catheter includes:
Patient safety
Assessing activity tolerance
Site care
All of the above
16 Noninvasive assessment of central venous pressures includes which of the following?
Inspection of the neck for jugular venous distention.
Auscultation of heart sounds.
Chest percussion to determine heart size.
Inspection of the chest for heaves.
17 When preparing to place an aterial line, which of the following tests is necessary?
Hepatojugular reflex test
Allen's test
Pedal capillary refill test
Pulse pressure test
18 In order to measure cardiac output via the thermodilution method, there must be a temperature difference between the blood and the injectate.
True False
19 PA catheter migration may cause which of the following complications?
Pulmonary infarcation
Dysrhythmias
Inaccurate measurements
All of the above
20 The PA catheter balloon should always remain inflated and locked when not in use.

21 According to the London Health Sciences Critical Care website, solution for cardiac output measurement is injected while the patient is inhaling.
True False
Answers:
1a, 2d, 3b, 4b, 5c, 6b, 7b, 8a, 9b, 10c, 11d, 12c, 13a, 14b, 15d, 16a, 17b, 18a, 19d, 20b, 21b
