A rhythm strip characterized by irregular waves and an absence of recognizable QRS complexes is indicative of which type of arrhythmia?

An anxious client with acute decompensated heart failure complains of severe dyspnea, tachypnea, and tachycardia.  All of the following medications have been ordered.  Which is the priority action?

What would be the appropriate intervention by the nurse for the above rhythm strip?

Which of the following is appropriate in the care of a client with an Epidural Catheter? Select all that apply

A client receiving Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) is alert, but complains of post-operative pain. The PCA is infusing Morphine at a basal infusion rate of 1 ml/hr (1 mg/hr). The PCA is programmed for three, 1 mg Incremental Doses (ID’s) per hour (lockout interval of q. 10 min.) The client has not received any initial doses yet. Which action by the nurse is best in this situation?

Refer to Figure 2.  The numbers in each histology section indicate different functional tissues within the endocrine organs.  For the tissues numbered THREE (3) and FOUR (4), identify the specific tissue layers AND one hormone made specifically by each.  Tissue region number 3 is the [a] and it makes [b].  Tissue region number 4 are the [c] and it makes [d].  The ORGAN where tissues 3 and 4 are located is the [e]. 

Refer to Figure 7.  On Tissue C, there are two specific types of cells (8 and 9) that both support production of gametes by making a specific hormone or cofactor.  Name the cells labeled ‘9’: [a] What do the ‘9’ cells make to support gamete production? [b]

Refer to Figure 7.  Use models D & E on the right side of this figure to complete the blanks identifying organs or structures of the reproductive system with the following functions. Include the name AND the number from the figure for full credit! Be specific! This structure can be cut to prevent male fertility: [a] Tissue samples from this organ are routinely checked by histology for evidence of cancer: [b] This is the site where fertilization typically occurs: [c] This organ can be checked for cancer by gentle probing: [d] This tissue fills with blood during a male erection: [e]

Refer to Figure 1.  The head model in sagittal view (A) has organs from both the respiratory and digestive tracts numbered 1 through 6. Using your knowledge of these systems and the typical materials moving through these passageways, identify the TYPE OF EPITHELIUM that would be found at the numbered locations below Epithelium at Site 2:  [1] Epithelium at Site 10:  [2] Epithelium at Site 11:  [5]

Refer to Figure 2.  Your patient is a retired tile and roofing materials manufacturer, and is being seen in your clinic because they are having difficulty breathing. Their inspiratory capacity is greatly reduced and does not improve when given bronchodilators. You send a biopsy of their lung tissue to the pathologist but their sample gets mixed up with other samples in the lab. Which of the samples in this image likely came from your patient? Briefly EXPLAIN your choice.
