ANEMIA
This anemia is commonly caused by iron deficiency and presents iron deficiency and presents with fatigue and pallor.
Left sided heart failure
This dysrhythmia is characterized by chaotic p waves and irregular ventricular rate
Atrial fibrillation
The anticoagulant requires monitoring of INR
Warfarin
Pain with walking that improves with rest is called this
intermittent claudication
Hemoglobin or Hematocrit
Crackles and dyspnea in heart failure occur because of this complication
fluid backing up into the lungs
The first nursing action for unstable ventricular tachycardia with a pulse is
Synchronized cardioversion
This antidote for heparin is this medication
protamine sulfate
cool pale extremities and weak pulses are commonly seen in this type of vascular disease
arterial disease
This anemia is caused by lack of intrinsic factor
Pernicious anemia
This medication class reduces preload and fluid volume in heart failure
Diuretics
This medication is commonly used to slow ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation
Diltiazem or beta blockers
This lab test evaluates the extrinsic clotting pathway
PT/INR
The nurse should avoid this action in severe arterial insufficiency
Elevating the legs
The priority nursing intervention for a patient with symptomatic anemia and dyspnea is this
Administering oxygen, assessing respiratory status
Daily weights are important because they help monitor...
Fluid retention
A potassium imbalance can increase risk for this cardiac complications
Dysrhythmias
Aspirin or NSAIDS
Compression stockings are commonly used to treat this condition
venous insufficiency
A patient with sickle cell crisis should receive these priority interventions
Oxygen, hydration, pain management
The nurse should recognize sudden weight gain, crackles, and pink frothy sputum as signs of..
pulmonary edema
The priority intervention for pulseless ventricular tachycardia
Defibrillation and CPR
This life-threatening complication can occur when a clot travels to the lungs
pulmonary embolism
the 6 P's are assessment findings associated with this emergency condition
Acute arterial occlusion
