my dashboardyADAPTIVE TEST: PM 41 (OTHER) – CA – CARDIOLOGY (NR2015)Time On The 00:0617. You are transporting a 64-year-old male in respiratory distress with rales, and rhonchi in all lung fields. He is coughing up copious amounts of pink, frothy sputum. Skin is cool and pale and peripheral pulses are weak. Your initial treatment plan includes oxygen, IV access, and cardiac monitoring. His pulse is 110 and weak, respiratory rate is 22 and labored, and his blood pressure is 82/50. Pulse oximetry is 93% on oxygen. Your partner reaches for some sublingualnitroglycerin. Your response to this should be:This patient is hypotensive and needs fluid resuscitation.Dopamine will improve cardiac contractility and help treat his hypotension.IV nitroglycerin would be a much better choice, as its effects will be much faster.Good choice of initial medication. Venous dilatation and preload reduction will improve his severe pulmonary edema.Flag QuestionSubmit FeedbackSubet
