Some infants are born with a hole in the septum between the left and right ventricles called a VSD (ventricular septal defect). This enables blood to pass between the two ventricles. Considering that blood will always move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, which of the following would be a consequence of this condition? (Note, consider these based solely on the condition, and not any subsequent compensatory mechanisms such as an increase in blood volume). Three options are correct. Group of answer choices Peripheral (systemic) edema Increased aortic pressure Pulmonary hypotension Pulmonary edema Decreased left heart ejection fraction Decreased right heart EDV Increased left ventricular EDV

A young woman is brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a severe motor vehicle accident. She is unconscious. Her blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg; heart rate is 150 bpm. She is intubated and is being hand-ventilated. There is no evidence of head trauma. The pupils are 2 mm and reactive. She withdraws to pain. Cardiac examination reveals no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. The lungs are clear to auscultation. The abdomen is tense, with decreased bowel sounds. The extremities are cool and clammy, with thready pulses. Despite aggressive blood and fluid resuscitation, the patient dies. Questions: A. What is the likely diagnosis? Why? B. What are the major pathophysiologic causes of this condition? Which was likely in this patient? C. What pathogenetic mechanism accounts for this patient's unresponsiveness? For the cool, pale extremities?

Following insertion of a central line, the client begins to have difficulty breathing. The client becomes progressively cyanotic and unresponsive. The care team suspects an air embolus that should prompt the nurse to immediately: A. Administer thrombolytic B. Place the client on the left side with the client's head down C. Have the client bear down and perform Valsalva maneuver D. Auscultate the client's heart sounds Which vital signs, if decreased, support this nursing diagnosis? A. Temperature B. Respiratory rate C. Heart rate D. Blood pressure The client's arterial blood gas (ABG) results indicate: PH 7.54 Paco2 41 HCO3- < 5 Which findings support the diagnosis of pulmonary embolus for this client? A. Respiratory alkalosis B. Paco2 = 39 C. PH 7.50 D. Paco2 ~ 48 Which of the following caused metabolic alkalosis? A. Paco2 = 45 B. PH 7.32 C. Paco2 40 D. PH 7.39
