A nurse is assessing a client who had left femoral cardiac angiography. Identify where the nurse will palpate to assess the most distal pulse on the affected side. (Selectable areas, or "Hot Spots," are outlined in the artwork below. Select only the outlined area that corresponds to your answer.)

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is "{\"xRanges\":[73.328125,113.328125],\"yRanges\":[281,321]}"

This is where the left dorsalis pedis artery runs and is the most distal pulse that can be palpated on the lower extremity. Assessing it helps determine adequate peripheral circulation post-procedure and ensures there is no arterial compromise due to catheterization.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Controlling impulsive behavior is more commonly associated with right hemispheric strokes due to impaired judgment and spatial awareness.
B. Improving left-side motor function would be a goal for a right hemispheric CVA because motor deficits occur on the side opposite the brain injury.
C. Loss of depth perception is typically a problem with right hemispheric damage affecting spatial-perceptual skills.
D. Left hemispheric strokes often affect language centers, leading to aphasia. Therefore, a primary rehabilitation goal is improving communication abilities.

A. Cardioversion B. Radiofrequency catheter ablation C. Defibrillation D. CPR

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Cardioversion. For stable clients with ventricular tachycardia who have a pulse, synchronized cardioversion is the preferred treatment.

B. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a longer-term treatment option for recurrent VT but is not an immediate intervention.

C. Defibrillation is used for pulseless VT or ventricular fibrillation, not for stable VT with a pulse.

D. CPR is required if the client is pulseless or in cardiac arrest, which is not indicated here.
