Question 1 of 10
1. Question
What mostly causes the low cardiac output of the heart?
Correct
Low cardiac output is mostly caused by the weakening of the left ventricle due to heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or MI.
Incorrect
Low cardiac output is mostly caused by the weakening of the left ventricle due to heart failure, cardiomyopathy, or MI.

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
A patient is having a low cardiac output caused by his weak left ventricle. Which of the following therapies should not be used for treatment?
Correct
If the patient has a weak left ventricle which causes a low cardiac output, the bedside clinician can do the following treatments: decreasing or reducing the preload, decreasing or reducing the afterload, or increasing contractility.
Incorrect

3. Question
For patients who are suffering from symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction, what treatment is NOT used to relieve the symptoms?
Correct
For patients with symptoms of left ventricular dysfunction, patient can be relieved from the symptoms using inotropic therapy. Dobutamine, dopamine, and epinephrine are some of the inotropes that can be used for relief.

4. Question
Which of the following is NOT true about nitroprusside?
Correct
Nitroprusside is a drug commonly used for resistance reduction. This drug acts very fast, very effective, and is frequently used in ICUs. However, its effectiveness needs continuous administration because its effect wears off in minutes after being stopped.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
Which of the following is not one of the fluid replacement guidelines when hypovolemia is present?
Correct
The three guidelines for fluid replacement when hypovolemia is present are blood for actively bleeding patients or if the patient has acute coronary syndrome, crystalloids when hypovolemia is suspected but there is no clear diagnosis yet, and colloids when rapid volume expansion is necessary but the blood is not available or indicated.

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
All of the following are true about Lead II monitoring EXCEPT
Correct
The most common lead used in monitoring patients but is not an ideal monitoring lead because somehow it reveals limited information to the clinician. It is also useful in assessing P waves and QRS complexes that have small amplitude and sees electrical activity in an upright ECG pattern.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
Why does the V1 lead is considered the excellent monitoring lead among the 6 common chest leads of the 12-lead ECG?
Correct
V1 lead is considered the excellent monitoring lead among the 6 common chest leads of the 12-lead ECG because it provides more information on conduction defects than other routine monitoring leads.
Incorrect
V1 lead is considered the excellent monitoring lead among the 6 common chest leads of the 12-lead ECG because it provides more information on conduction defects than other routine monitoring leads.
