Questions: Please respond to following statements. 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 Atrial systole refers to:   The heart at rest   Artrial contraction and ejection of blood into the ventricles   Heart failure   A myocardial infarction 8 During atrial systole, the AV heart valves are closed. True     False 9 Preload is a measure of   ventricular end systolic volume   ventricular end diastole volume   atrial contraction   atrial relaxation 10 When afterload increases, cardiac output decreases. True     False 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 arterial 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.
