NUR1023C Final Exam Questions With Complete SolutionsCardiac Cath - Cardiac catheterization is a procedure in which a
catheter(thin, flexible tube) is guided through a blood vessel to
the heart to diagnose or treat certain heart conditions, such as
clogged arteries or irregular heartbeats. Cardiac catheterization
gives doctors important information about the heart muscle,
heart valves and blood vessels in the heart.
Prep
-Don't eat or drink anything for at least six hours before your
test, or as directed by your doctor.
-Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners.
-Tell your doctor if you take diabetes medications.
-Take all your medications and supplements with you to the test.
Post Test
You'll likely spend several hours in a recovery room after the
procedure while the sedation wears off. After your catheter is
removed, a technician or nurse will apply pressure to the
insertion sites. If the catheter was placed in the groin area, you
may need to lie flat for several hours after the procedure to avoid
serious bleeding and to allow the artery to heal.
Nursing Interventions
A nurse or technician may shave the hair from the site where the
catheter will be inserted. Sticky patches (electrodes) will be
placed on the chest to monitor the patient's heartbeat before,
during and after the procedure. Place an IV and give a
medication called a sedative to help the patient relax. Monitor
patients.
The patient must sign a consent form for open-heart surgery as
well as a cardiac catheter.
,Bronchoscopy - An endoscopic medical procedure used to look
inside the airways (bronchi) and lungs. Involves inserting a

assimilating into a new culture
African American Culture Correct Answer Immediate and
extended family can attend medical appointments.
Health care practices Includes the wishes of the patient and the
family. Some members may have low levels of literacy. Older
African Americans may be suspicious of clinicians, because of
experiences of past generations of African Americans with
health care. Even African American parents today have heard
about the Tuskegee experiments on African Americans, so they
may be a little reserved or suspicious until it is apparent that
their health care provider is friendly, wants to listen, and is
interested in them. There may be reluctance to share personal or
family issues, so building a trusting relationship is absolutely
crucial.
Decision makers can be the patient or the immediate family
members.
Eye contact Direct eye contact is especially important among
elders, and is considered disrespectful if not shown
Cultural Behaviors
African Americans think of time in a linear fashion, and this is
extremely important to know as a nurse. (Time is money)
Accessibility, availability, affordability and acceptability can
influence diet choices
Poverty and limited access to grocery stores can influence food
options.
