44. Pharmacologic agents that may be used in the treatment of shock include all of the following EXCEPT:NorepinephrineDiltazemDopamineMilrinone45. Which of the following is a wide complex tachycardia?Sinus tachycardiaAtrial flutterSupraventricular tachycardiaVentricular tachycardia46. Which statement about dexamethasone is NOT correct?Dexamethasone is indicated for mild to severe croup.Dexamethasone reduces the number and activation of lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, and macrophages.Dexamethasone commonly causes hypotension.Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid47. The first management step in cardiac arrest is to:Suppress or treat arrhythmiasIncrease coronary and cerebral perfusion pressures and blood flowStimulate more forceful myocardial contractilityBegin high-quality CPR

48. Which statement about tachycardia is NOT correct?  A heart rate of 175 bpm is within normal range for a child up to two A normal heart rate for an infant may be twice as fast as normal heart rate for an older child.  Sinus tachycardia IS commonly a dangerous rhythm that can quickly deteriorate to cardiac arrest. Tachycardia may be a normal, non-dangerous. heart rate in response to stress Ie anxiety.49. What is the primary therapy for hypovolemic shock?Fluid resuscitationCorrection of metabolic derangementsVasopressorsAntibiotics50. Pulse oximetry is monitored during post-resuscitation care to:Monitor hypoglycemia Optimize Ventilation and circulation Stabilize Blood pressure Monitor hypovolemia

37. Which statement is correct concerning pharmacological support during post-resuscitation management?Dobutamine generally decreases myocardial contractility.Milrinone and inamrinone always increase heart rate and myocardial demand.Treat hypotension with vasopressors if needed, titrated to BP.In infants, with significant circulatory instability and hypotensive shock, do not administer epinephrine38. The most common forms of distributive shock include all of the following EXCEPT:Cardiogenic shockAnaphylactic shockNeurogenic shockSeptic shock39. Initial management of respiratory distress or failure include:Suctioning and providing supplemental oxygenOpening and supporting the airwayAssessing oxygenation with a pulse oximeterAll of the above

50) A nurse is managing several IV medications to maintain the blood pressure of aclient in hypovolemic shock. Which medication places the client at risk for ahypertensive reaction, requiring the nurse to assess the blood pressure at least every15 minutes?(a) Norepinephrine (Levophed)(b) Sodium nitroprusside (Nipride)(c) Adenosine (Adenocard)(d) Amiodorone (Cordorone)

Which of the following shocks results from a severe allergic reaction?Group of answer choicesHypovolemic shockAnaphylactic shockSeptic shockCardiogenic shock

The first-line treatment for a patient with ventricular tachycardia with a pulse is:*1 pointa) Defibrillationb) Administering amiodaronec) Cardiac catheterizationd) Administering atropine
