Q

Body homeostasis is often referred to as the body’s “steady state” and is maintained by important body systems using physiologic feedback loops. Vital signs are an excellent indicator of the body’s response to conditions and therapies the patient is undergoing. A key strength of using vital signs as an indicator of homeostasis is that they

A

can be assessed quickly, and the data is objective.

Q

Anaphylactic

25
Q

Which of the following is most appropriate for a patient to counteract hypoglycemia?

A

Sugar-sweetened orange juice

26
Q

After the administration of an iodine-based contrast into a patient, it is important for the radiologic and image science professional to observe the patient for

A

27
Q

In patients who are hyperglycemic

A

insulin is required.

28
Q

What type of shock is caused by loss of blood from a knife or gunshot wound?

A

Hypovolemic

29
Q

For patients coming into the ER with a suspected penetrating abdominal stab wound or gunshot injury, a current Standard of Care is to quickly perform

A

a FAST sonographic scan series.

30
Q

When comparing hyperglycemia with hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia

A

portrays clinical symptoms of excessive thirst and urination as well as dry mouth

31
Q

What is the first thing you should do if a patient who is standing turns pale and states that they feel dizzy?

A

Have the patient lie down.

32
Q

When caring for a patient with epistaxis, the patient

A

should lean forward and pinch their nostrils against the midline septum for several minutes.

33
Q

An effective method to handle a patient with an asthmatic attack during a radiographic procedure would be to

A

have the patient sit down and allow the patient to use his or her aerosol inhaler.

34
Q

As you are radiographing a patient from the emergency department who has a knife wound to the upper extremity, you notice that his wound dressing is becoming saturated with blood quickly, and he is getting lightheaded. You should

A

call for help, apply pressure to the wound site, and elevate their arm.

35
Q

When working with burn patients, it is critically important to

A

use an extraordinary level of aseptic technique.

36
Q

Current CPR Guidelines advocate what sequence of CPR steps?

A

Immediately begin compressions followed by ensuring an airway and ventilation.

37
Q

When performing CPR as a single rescuer,

A

after each group of 30 compressions, give 2 quick ventilations

38
Q

CPR can be stopped when

A

the rescuer is physically exhausted.

the patient responds and shows signs of recovery.

a physician says it’s time to stop CPR.

39
Q

The Heimlich maneuver

A

is best achieved with increased intra-abdominal pressure through chest compressions.

40
Q

A disorganized cardiac rhythm in which the ventricle “flutters” and loses cardiac output is called

A

fibrillation

41
Q

An effective non-invasive method to deal with severe patient claustrophobia during MR examinations is to

A

provide a simple explanation of exam conditions and headphones to muffle the MR noise.

42
Q

Adequate perfusion of human tissue generally requires

A

a systolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or greater.

43
Q

All of the following are related except

A

myocardium

44
Q

The QRS complex on a typical ECG represents

A

depolarization of ventricular muscle

45
Q

If the PR interval is longer than normal on a typical ECG tracing, one can assume that

Q

A cardiac arrhythmia that is life threatening and provides no effective cardiac output is

A

V-fib

49
Q

An effective method for treating select cardiac arrhythmias is the use of high-frequency alternating current to destroy strategic cardiac tissue and reroute the cardiac impulses generated. These procedures are known as

A

cardiac ablation treatments

50
Q

The T-wave of an ECG tracing represents

A

ventricular repolarization

51
Q

Bonus Question- A dual-wire pacemaker places electrode tips in the
