This is the "diagnosis and tx of human responses of individuals and groups to actual or potential health problems relative to altered functional ability and lifestyle"

What is Rehabilitation Nursing as defined by the ARN

100

This nursing theorist wrote "the self-care theory"

What: Dorothy Orem

100

Rehab nursing is viewed as a specialty practice guided by what 3 things?

What: Philosophy, theory and research

100
This medication is given during acute episodes of ischemic chest pain because it dilates the venous system and coronary arteries thereby decreasing preload & oxygen consumption.
What is Nitroglycerine
100
This is the most significant nursing consideration when administering adenosine.
What is it has an extremely short half life, therefore it must be administered as quickly as possible, preferably through a central line or a large bore peripheral IV. Be sure to follow with a vigorous/fast flush.
200
This is the significance of the phenomenon known as atrial kick.
What is contributing approximately 25% more blood to the end diastolic ventricular volume augmenting cardiac output.
200

This nursing theory shows three interrelated parts: CARE, CORE, and CURE

What What is Lydia Hall

200

What are 3 goals of Rehabilitation Nursing?

What is: restore, maintain, and promote his/her maximal health.

200
Four absolute contraindications to thrombolytic therapy.
What are: cranial neoplasm, acute internal bleeding, suspected aortic dissection, previous hemorrhagic stroke or other CVA within 1 year.
200
This medication is an electrolyte that can be used to treat a patient with Torsades de Pointe.
What is Magnesium.
300
This is the formula that determines cardiac output.
What is CO = HR X Stroke Volume
300

This nursing model is about goal attainment and helps individuals to maintain their health so they can function in their roles.

What is : Imogene King

300
This phosphodiesterase inhibitor is known as an inodilator because 25% of its effects are inotropic and 75% of its effects are vasodilatory. It is given as a 50 mcg/kg bolus and followed by an infusion.
What is Milrinone
300
This is the rationale for the use of beta blockers in post-MI patients.
What is because it decreases the heart rate and force of contraction, thereby decreasing oxygen demand. It also improves mortality and salvages myocardial tissue.
300
This antiarrythmic has an unlabeled use of converting AF to SR. It requires a 150 mg loading dose and is followed by a slow infusion.
What is Amiodarone
400
These are the three components of stroke volume.
What are preload, afterload, & contractility
400

This nursing theory incudes the 3 stages of prevention: primary, secondary, tertiary: all these help clients maximize their defenses.

What is: Betty Neuman 

400
This sympathomimetic agent increases CO by stimulating beta 1 receptors without increasing afterload or SVR.
What is Dobutamine.
400
This class of medications has proven beneficial when used in conjunction with coronary angioplasty. Give an example of a medication in this class.
What is GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors, Aggrastat, Reopro, Integrelin.
400
This is the class of medications that can be administered for SVT, A. Fib, or A. Flutter. Give an example of a medication from this class.
What is calcium channel blockers Amlodipine (Norvasc), Diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac), Nifedipine (Procardia, Adalat), Verapamil (Calan, Covera)
500
This is the point in the cardiac cycle when the aortic and pulmonic valves are closed and the mitral valve and tricuspid valves are open.
What is diastole.
500

This nursing theorist encouraged the use of own's own powers?

What: Florence Nightengale

500
To which parameters should dobutamine be titrated.
What is if PAC is present titrate to CO & CI If no PAC is present titrate to signs of good CO (clear lungs, stable BP, adequate urine output, absence of hypoxia, good mentation)
500
This is the class of medications that improve LV function and slow ventricular remodeling by blocking the renin-angiotensin cascade. Give an example from this class.
What is an ACE inhibitor Benzapril (Lotensin), Captopril (Capoten), Enalapril (Vasotec), Lisinopril (Prinivil,Zestril), Quinapril (Accupril), Ramipril (Altace), Trandolapril (Mavik)
500
Name two significant drug interactions of amiodarone
What is Lovastatin & Simvastatin- inhibits their metabolism, therefore creates increased risk of developing myopathy & rhabdomyolysis Digoxin- increases digoxin levels Warfarin- increases hypothrombinemic effect of Warfarin
