Which finding on electrocardiogram (ECG) indicates myocardial ischemia or infarction?
ST elevation or depression
Q waves
Sinus bradycardia
Tall T waves
What is the normal range of Central Venous Pressure (CVP)?
0–2 mmHg
2–6 mmHg
6–10 mmHg
10–15 mmHg
A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of pharmacologic therapy for altered tissue perfusion. Which finding BEST indicates improved perfusion?
Decreased urine output
Pale and cool extremities
Strong peripheral pulses and warm skin
Increased heart rate
Which patient statement shows correct understanding of herbal supplements?
“Herbal medicines are always safe.”
“I will stop my medicine when taking herbs.”
“I will ask my doctor before taking herbs.”
“Herbs work better than prescriptions.”
Which nursing intervention helps optimize cardiopulmonary function in a patient with altered tissue perfusion?
Positioning the patient in semi- or high-Fowler’s position
Encouraging strenuous physical activity
Delaying oxygen therapy
Limiting respiratory assessment
Why is patient education included in the planning of care for altered tissue perfusion?
To replace medical management
To reduce the need for monitoring
To avoid medication use
To help patients recognize symptoms and follow treatment plans
Which of the following differentiates left-sided from right-sided heart failure in terms of perfusion and congestion?
LHF → systemic venous congestion; RHF → pulmonary congestion
LHF → pulmonary congestion, ↓ systemic perfusion; RHF → systemic venous congestion, ↓ cardiac output
LHF → reduced cardiac output; RHF → elevated blood pressure only
Both LHF and RHF only affect perfusion if arrhythmias are present
A patient with cardiomyopathy develops fatigue, hypotension, and an irregular heartbeat. Which combination of mechanisms is most responsible for decreased systemic perfusion?
Reduced myocardial contractility + arrhythmia → ↓ stroke volume and ↓ cardiac output
Reduced myocardial contractility + hypertension → ↓ stroke volume but ↑ cardiac output
Arrhythmia + right-sided heart failure → ↓ cardiac output but primarily causes peripheral congestion
Hypertensive crisis + narrowed coronary arteries → ↓ perfusion due to vascular resistance
What is the disease process characterized by the buildup of fatty deposits in the inner walls of the arteries?
Hypertension
Atherosclerosis
Atherosis
Arteriosclerosis
If PTA is also known as Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty, then PCI stands for?
Percutaneous
Coronary Intravenous
Percutaneous
Cervical Intervention
Percutaneous Center
Intramuros
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
