Related Questions

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D","E"]

Explanation

A. Rectal: The rectal route provides a reliable measure of core body temperature because of its proximity to major blood vessels.

B. Urinary Bladder: A temperature-sensing urinary catheter can provide continuous monitoring of core temperature, especially in critical care settings.

C. Temporal Artery: While temporal artery thermometers are non-invasive and commonly used, they measure skin temperature, which is not a true core temperature.

D. Esophagus: Esophageal temperature monitoring is used in intubated patients and cardiac surgery patients to measure core temperature accurately.

E. Pulmonary Artery: A pulmonary artery catheter (Swan-Ganz catheter) directly measures blood temperature from the heart, making it the most accurate core temperature measurement.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Initiate a peripheral IV: While an IV line is useful for medication administration, the patient’s pain has significantly improved with nitroglycerin. An IV may be necessary later, but it is not the next step in this scenario.

B. Administer another nitroglycerin tablet: Nitroglycerin can be repeated every 5 minutes up to 3 doses if chest pain persists or does not decrease significantly. Since the pain has improved (from 6 to 2), additional nitroglycerin is unnecessary.

C. Obtain an ECG/EKG: Even though the pain improved, unstable angina can progress to myocardial infarction. An ECG helps evaluate for ischemic changes and ensures the pain is truly resolving.

D. Call the Rapid Response Team (RRT): RRT should be called for worsening chest pain, unresponsiveness, or hemodynamic instability. Since the pain has improved, calling RRT is unnecessary.
