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?

N7 Hemodynamic Basics
Hey guys, check out this Nursing CEU site. Quick easy read with mini quizzes
1 Hemodynamics are measured with which of the following? PA catheter IV catheter Urinary catheter Arterial catheter 2 The term hemodynamics describes: Intravascular volume 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. True False 21 According to the London Health Sciences Critical Care website, solution for cardiac output measurement is injected while the patient is inhaling. True False
