D) improve wound healing
which intervention would the nurse perform when caring for a client in the emergency
department reporting chest pain? Select all:
A) providing oxygen
B) assessing vital signs
C) obtaining a 12-lead EKG
D) drawing blood for cardiac enzymes
E) auscultating heart sounds
F) administering nitroglycerin
how would the nurse describe heart failure to a client?
A) a cardiac condition caused by inadequate blood volume
B) an acute state in which the pulmonary circulation pressure decreases
C) an inability of the heart to pump blood in proportion to metabolic needs
D) a chronic state in which the systolic blood pressure drops below 90 mm Hg
which part of the electrocardiogram (ECG) represents depolarization of the ventricles?
A) P wave

as a series of waves: the P wave followed by the QRS complex and the T wave. The
QRS represents ventricular depolarization. The P wave occurs with depolarization of the
atria The T wave represents ventricular repolarization. The PR interval represents
depolarization of the atria and the atrioventricular node
In what order does normal cardiac conduction occur through the heart?

2) Atrioventricular (AV) node

which physiological alteration would be expected with a higher-than-normal red blood
cell (RBC) count?
A) increased blood pH
B) decreased hematocrit
C) increased blood viscosity
D) decreased immune response
--> viscosity, a measure of a fluids internal resistance to flow, is increased as the
number of red blood cells suspended in plasma increases. the number of cells does not
affect the blood pH. The hematocrit will be higher. RBCs do not affect immunity
which statement indicates that the client has a correct understanding of the condition
after the nurse has finished teaching a client about sickle cell anemia?
A) " I have normal platelets"
B) "i have abnormal hemoglobin
C) "i have abnormal hematocrit"
D) "i have abnormal white blood cells"
-->The patient with sickle cell anemia has abnormal hemoglobin, hemoglobin S, causing
the red blood cells to stiffin and elongate into a sickle. The disorder affects hemoglobin
rather than platelets or white blood cells. Although it can affect hematocrit, it is really a
result of abnormal hemoglobin.
