IV catheter
Urinary catheter
Arterial catheter
2
The term hemodynamics describes:
Intravascular volume
Intropy
Vasoactivity

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

According to the London Health Sciences Critical Care website, solution for cardiac output measurement is injected while the patient is inhaling.
True
False
