The patient is stabilized with the administration of vasopressors, but continues to remain unresponsive with a pulse of 106 bpm, and a blood pressure of 94/64 mmHg. The provider orders targeted temperature management (TTM) to be started. The medical team initiates TTM. Which of the following are the primary goals of this intervention? (Select all that apply)

A patient is brought to the emergency room in cardiac arrest. IV access was established enroute. Ventilations with a bag valve mask (BVM) are performed, and 5 cycles of compressions are completed. The rhythm is assessed and the following rhythm is seen on the cardiac monitor (see ECG strip). A shock is delivered without a change in rhythm, and CPR is resumed. The nurse now prepares to deliver: V Fib.jpg

During the secondary survey, the nurse performs a FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) exam. The nurse knows the primary purpose of this diagnostic tool in a blast scenario is to:

The patient’s symptoms began shortly after they started seeing a new partner and stopped consistently using condoms. Over several days, they noticed a mild, nagging itch and some stinging during urination that was initially dismissed as minor irritation or dehydration.

Hundreds of shoppers and office workers are caught in the chaos. Within minutes, the first wave of first responders arrives to find a hot zone littered with debris, victims with varying degrees of thermal burns, and individuals suffering from traumatic blast injuries.A nurse who is a member of the local disaster response team is assessing blast injuries.

Upon arrival at the emergency room, place in order the next steps the nurse will perform.A.  Do not touch client while AED analyzes rhythmB.  Immediately resume compressions when the AED states “No Shock advised”C.  Continue compressions until the end of 2 minutesD. Stop compressions when advised by AEDE. Call for additional help from the clinic provider and other nurses
