A 65-year-old male patient is post-MI. Before the event, the patient had a history of hyperlipidemia but was not on any pharmacotherapy. The patient is started on beta blocker and statin therapy. Upon a chart review, you note the patient is consistently hypertensive and has a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40%. Which of the following medication classes would be most appropriate to add for this patient?

The AG-ACNP is preparing to intubate a 33-year-old male. Before the intubation the AG-ACNP examines the patient’s airway for a Mallampati score to help predict for a difficult intubation. The AG-ACNP knows that which of the classifications predicts a difficult in intubation:

A 26-year-old male presents to the ED with complaints of shortness of breath and right-sided chest pain that began after a 2-mile run. The symptoms have been persistent for the past 3 hours. Pain is increased with inspiration. He denies any constitutional symptoms of fever, cough, chills, or sick contacts. He is an avid runner on a daily basis, but does smoke ½-pack of cigarettes per day. On physical exam he is tachypneic, with respiratory rate 30, 94% saturation on room air. Breath sounds are decreased in the left lung fields, and there is hyperresonance to percussion. The AG-ACNP obtains the following chest x-ray: CXR1.jpg What is the diagnosis?

You assess a 55-year-old male patient who is a candidate for bariatric surgery. He is 175 cm, 120 kg and has arterial hypertension for which he takes ramipril. His wife tells you the patient snores during the night. His blood pressure (BP) is 125/75 mm Hg and pulse oximetry is 89% on room air. What is the MOST appropriate management of this patient?

What are the normal right ventricular systolic/diastolic pressures? _______ / _______ .

A PT clinic in an acute care hospital utilizes PT techs to perform a variety of patient care services including transport to PT, and monitoring an established exercise program. What health care professional is directly responsible for the actions of the tech?

A 45-year-old previously healthy female presents to the emergency department with 3 days of fevers and progressive dyspnea and is admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for influenza infection complicated by severe hypoxemia. She is intubated, and chest radiograph following intubation demonstrates an appropriately placed endotracheal tube with bilateral patchy opacities and interstitial markings throughout all lung fields, without effusions. Her bedside echocardiogram reveals a left ventricular ejection fraction of 0.75 with otherwise normal findings. Her ventilator settings are volume control, tidal volume (VT) 500 mL, respiratory rate (RR) 14 breaths per minute, FiO2 1.0, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5 cm H2O. An initial arterial blood gas (ABG) is pH 7.30 PCO2 45 mm Hg and PO2 80 mm Hg. Which of the following therapies has been best shown to improve the survival of patients such as this woman?

A 65-year-old female with a history of severe COPD and coronary artery disease is intubated for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in the setting of pneumonia. Despite ventilation with 6 mL/kg tidal volumes and neuromuscular blockade, PaO2:FiO2 remains 85 on FiO2 100%. PEEP is increased from 5 to 10 cm H2O, and mean arterial pressure subsequently decreases from 65 to 45. In what setting is increased PEEP least likely to improve oxygenation and hemodynamics?
