Most common early manifestations of ARDS

What is dyspnea & tachypnea?

500

A run of 3 or more PVCs

What is Ventricular Tachycardia?

500

Biomarker that allows more rapid detection of MI & biomarker that helps quantify myocardial damage

What is high-sensitivity cardiac troponin test? & What is CK-MB?

Select all that apply in a patient with acute lower extremity VTE:

a) Pallor and coolness of foot and calf

b) Mild to moderate calf pain and tenderness

c) Grossly decrease or absent pedal pulses

d) Unilateral edema and induration of the thigh

e) Palpable cord along a superficial varicose vein

What is b & d?

500

Enlargement of the right ventricle cause by a primary respiratory disorder, usually COPD

What is Cor pulmonale?

500

Expected physical assessment finding in a client with advanced COPD:

a) Increased anteroposterior chest diameter. 

b) Underdeveloped neck muscles. 

c) Collapsed neck veins. 

d) Increased chest excursions with respiration. 

A. Increased anteroposterior chest diameter.

Increased anteroposterior chest diameter is characteristic of advanced COPD. Air is trapped in the overextended alveoli, and the ribs are fixed in an inspiratory position. The result is the typical barrel-chested appearance. In addition, coarse crackles beginning with inspiration may be heard.
