Week 9 Hemodynamic Monitoring For The Critically Ill Patient

QuestionAnswer
Which portion of the hemodynamic monitoring system converts mechanical energy to waveforms? Transducer - The transducer converts mechanical energy into waveforms.
What condition would the nurse suspect if the patient’s pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) is 3 mm Hg? Hypovolemia Normal PAOP is 5-12 mm Hg. This value is low, and low PAOP is most commonly associated with hypovolemia.
_______ mm Hg reflects a normal right atrial pressure. 0-8
Which nursing intervention can prevent infection associated with hemodynamic monitoring? Apply a transparent dressing over the insertion site.
For accurate hemodynamic monitoring, what is the goal associated with identification of the patient’s phlebostatic axis? The transducer must be leveled to patient’s phlebostatic axis. The level of the transducer must be at the level of the patient’s phlebostatic axis for accurate pressure measurement.
The maximum degree of positioning for the patient while measuring arterial pressures is 60
Which components are part of an invasive hemodynamic monitoring system? - Arterial catheter - Transducer - Pressure infusion system - monitor
Which nursing student statement regarding hemodynamic monitoring requires further education? “Pulmonary artery catheters are the least invasive hemodynamic monitoring approach.”
Which nursing statement is an accurate explanation of preload? Preload is the amount that the heart stretches.
When assisting a provider in the placement of a central venous catheter, into what position will the nurse place the patient? Trendelenburg
Which patient assessment data require immediate nursing intervention? A continuous wedge pressure waveform
What is the most likely cause of a low-pressure alarm within an arterial hemodynamic monitoring system? Disconnection
