Which of the following are indicators for critical care time (check all that apply):
Correct Answer(s)
A. Hemodynamic Insufficiency
B. Administering Cardizem for AFIB
C. Cardio Pulmonary Arrest with successful resuscitation
D. Acute Severe Pediatric Asthma
Explanation
The correct answer is Hemodynamic Insufficiency, Administering Cardizem for AFIB, Cardio Pulmonary Arrest with successful resuscitation, Acute Severe Pediatric Asthma. These indicators are all situations where critical care time may be necessary. Hemodynamic insufficiency refers to a condition where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, requiring immediate intervention. Administering Cardizem for AFIB is a treatment for atrial fibrillation, a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia that may require critical care. Cardio Pulmonary Arrest with successful resuscitation is a situation where the patient experienced a cardiac arrest but was successfully revived, often requiring ongoing critical care. Acute Severe Pediatric Asthma is a severe respiratory condition in children that may require critical care interventions.
