Question 4 of 9
A patient being monitored post-heart transplant suffers a bradyarrhythmia. The AGACNP knows that which of the following medications is not indicated as part of emergency intervention for bradycardic abnormalities in a posttransplant patient?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Epinephrine is not indicated as part of emergency intervention for bradycardic abnormalities in posttransplant patients. Epinephrine is a medication usually used in cases of cardiac arrest or severe anaphylaxis, and it can potentially exacerbate bradycardia in patients with preexisting bradyarrhythmias. In this scenario, other options such as isoproterenol, external pacemaking, and atropine are more appropriate choices for managing bradyarrhythmias in a posttransplant patient.

Question 6 of 9
He has had 1 L of NSS infused by emergency medical services. His vital signs reveal a pulse of 128 bpm and a blood pressure of 8860 mm Hg. With respect to his hypotension, the AGACNP recognizes that
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: In this scenario, the patient's low blood pressure is likely a physiologic response to traumatic head injury. Hypotension can occur as a compensatory mechanism in traumatic brain injury to maintain cerebral perfusion. The body may reduce blood pressure to decrease the risk of further brain injury or bleeding. It is important for the AGACNP to recognize that in traumatic brain injury, hypotension may not necessarily require immediate intervention with vasopressors, as it may be a protective response. Monitoring and managing the patient's condition closely, including neurologic status and trends in blood pressure, is crucial in this situation.

Question 9 of 9
R. R. is a 71-year-old female who presents with left lower quadrant pain that started out as cramping but has become more constant over the last day. She reports constipation over the last few days but admits that for as long as she can remember she has had variable bowel habits. Her vital signs are normal, but physical examination reveals some tenderness in the left lower quadrant. Which diagnostic test is most likely to support the leading differential diagnosis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In a 71-year-old female presenting with left lower quadrant pain and a history of constipation, the most likely differential diagnosis to consider is diverticulitis. A CT scan with IV, oral, and rectal contrast is the diagnostic test of choice for confirming suspected diverticulitis. It is considered the gold standard imaging modality for evaluating acute abdominal pain and can help identify diverticula, inflammation, abscesses, and complications such as perforation or obstruction.
