A 65-year-old female is admitted with complaints of shortness of breath. Shortly after, she requires emergency intubation secondary to hypoxia. Her initial blood pressure was 220/140 mmHg. Chest x-ray shows pulmonary edema. A bedside echocardiogram shows preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function with hyperdynamic LV. You make a diagnosis of hypertensive emergency with flash pulmonary edema. How do you treat the condition?

The AG-ACNP is caring for a 79-year-old male who has been successfully resuscitated. He had a sudden, witnessed collapse in a shopping mall where he was found to be in pulseless VT. He has a prior history of CAD with a single coronary stent placed 2 years ago. He now has stable vital signs but remains comatose. His 12-lead ECG shows ST segment depressions in the anterior leads. Which statement regarding the role of cardiac catheterization in his care is true? Cardiac catheterization is:

An 81-year-old female with a history of HFrEF is admitted to the CCU for hemodynamic monitoring with a swan-ganz catheter. She is on a dobutamine infusion at 5 mcg/kg/min but continues to have poor cardiac output. In order to know if she would benefit from afterload reduction the SVR needs to be calculated. Calculation of the systemic vascular resistance (SVR) requires all of the following except?
