Nursing care basics

by Jennifer Overturf

What is the primary purpose of an arterial line?

Intermittent blood draws only

Continuous arterial blood pressure monitoring

Measuring central venous pressure

Where should the transducer be leveled to get accurate MAP readings?

At heart level of the left ventricle

Umbo of the eardrum

Phlebostatic axis at the fourth intercostal space, midaxillary line

Common complications of invasive hemodynamic monitoring include?

Hyperkalemia, dehydration

Renal failure, coughing

Infection, thrombosis, hematoma

If a dampened arterial waveform is suspected, what is a nursing action?

Disconnect the line immediately and remove the catheter

Flush and assess the line for obstruction and air bubbles

Increase IV fluids to 4 L/hr

What is the MAP target for most adults to ensure perfusion?

Below 60 mmHg

At least 90 mmHg

At least 65 mmHg

Central venous pressure monitoring primarily assesses which preload?

Pulmonary capillary pressure

Right-sided preload

Left ventricular contractility

Pulmonary artery catheter measurements like PCWP reflect what?

Left heart preload

Right ventricular contractility

Systemic vascular resistance

What is the first step when a new arterial line is placed?

Flush the line with heparin

Zero the transducer at the level of the phlebostatic axis

Check the waveform for 10 minutes before interpreting

Which waveform feature confirms proper arterial line placement?

No waveform at all

A clear pulsatile waveform with a dicrotic notch

A flat line

Where should the transducer be leveled for MAP accuracy?

Carina level

5th thoracic spine level

Phlebostatic axis (4th intercostal space, midaxillary line)

Which action reduces infection risk for a central venous catheter?

Use sterile technique and daily chlorhexidine baths

Use non-sterile gloves during dressing changes

Promote frequent line disconnections

What does a sudden rise in CVP suggest in a patient with a venous line?

Improved cardiac output

Possible fluid overload or impaired venous return

Dehydration

Which measurement reflects right atrial pressure?

Mean arterial pressure

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure

Central venous pressure (CVP)

What is the normal CVP range in adults?

12-16 mmHg

0-1 mmHg

2-8 mmHg

How often should invasive lines be inspected for site integrity?

Only when the patient complains

At least every shift and after any movement

Weekly during rounds

Which action minimizes risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection?

Leaving the line in place longer to avoid new insertions

Proper line asepsis and timely line removal when unused

Overtight dressings and daily line flushing

What does pulmonary artery catheter help assess?

Cardiac output and left sided filling pressures

Renal function

Respiratory rate

Which parameter indicates afterload in invasive monitoring?

CVP

Pulmonary artery systolic pressure

MAP and systemic vascular resistance

Which symptom requires immediate medical attention with invasive lines?

Mild dizziness after standing

Chest pain or shortness of breath with waveform loss

Slight local warmth at insertion site

What should you do if the transducer becomes dislodged?

Ignore and continue monitoring

Replace the entire system immediately

Re-zero and recalibrate at the phlebostatic axis

What is a common cause of waveform dampening?

Overhydration only

Low room temperature

Air bubbles or partial line occlusion

How should you manage a kinking line?

Pull firmly to straighten

Gently unkink and ensure secure positioning

Clamp and leave disconnected

What is an important preventive measure for infection with central lines?

Daily chlorhexidine cleansing and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings

Soap and water only

Alcohol swabs every shift

Which parameter reflects left-sided filling pressure?

CVP

MAP

Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP)

What indicates a problem with zero reference in arterial line?

Unstable waveform that changes with position

Consistently high MAP

Stable flat line with movement

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
