Comprehensive CRNA Interview Review Accurate responses are given. Comprehensive CRNA Interview Review Norepinephrine Mechanism of Action (MOA) A1, A2, B1 agonist. Primary agent used in distributive shock because it's ability to recruit venous volume and augment preload, while increasing arterial tone, and increasing cardiac output. Alpha one causing peripheral smooth muscle contraction. (low dose venous, high dose venous and arterial). Alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonism actually ant...

Maternity Chapter 11 questions with answers graded A+The nurse is caring for a woman with mitral stenosis who is in the active stage. Which action should the nurse take to promote cardiac function? A. Maintain the woman in a side-lying position with the head and shoulders elevated to facilitate hemodynamics B. Prepare the woman for delivery by cesarean section since this is the recommended delivery method to sustain hemodynamics C. Encourage the woman to avoid the use of narcotics or epidura...

Ventilation - moving air in and out of the lungs Oxygen - getting oxygen into the blood Circulation - moving the blood through the body Perfusion - getting oxygen into the tissue 4 Life functions - Ventilation, oxygenation, circulation, perfusion Ventilation ( vital signs) - chest movement, breath sounds, vt, resp. rate PaCo2, ETCO2 Oxygenation ( vital signs) - color, sensorium, heart rate, Pao2, Spo2 ( on vent Fio2 & I- Time. circulation (vital signs) - heart rate, strength...

the study of blood moving through the circulatory system - hemodynamics indicates the volume of blood moving during a particular time - flow (also called volume flow rate) units for flow - L/min indicates the speed of a fluid moving from one location to another - velocity units for velocity - cm/s 3 basic forms of blood flow - 1. pulsatile 2. phasic 3. steady occurs when blood moves with a variable velocity due to cardiac contraction, and appears in arterial circulation - pulsatile flow

Questions You Might Have About the Examination The practice of nursing is regulated by the states to assure the public that only those nurses who have the necessary knowledge and skills are licensed to practice. One requirement for becoming a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) is graduation from an approved school of practical/vocational nursing. Another requirement is passing an examination. All of the states have agreed to use the same ®® examination, NCLEX-PN . The NCLEX-PN is...

Hemodynamic Monitoring and Assessment What is hemodynamic monitoring and why is this important? - correct answer hemodynamics is the basis of our functioning...it's the processes of the cardiovascular system that allow blood flow to reach end organs hemodynamic compromise like low BP, low fluid status etc. leads to inability to perfuse end organs noninvasive monitoring...head to toe assessment, HR, EKG, PO2 tell us how circulatory system is able to perfuse and oxygenate all the organs ...
