  • 2. 

    Insertion of an aline requires a consent.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is stating that the insertion of an aline requires consent. This implies that before inserting an aline, permission or agreement from someone is necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is True, as it aligns with the statement provided.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Medications may be administration through the aline.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Medications are not administered through the "aline." The term "aline" is not a recognized medical term or route of administration for medications. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Accurate BPs can still obtained if the waveform is dampened.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. Accurate blood pressure readings cannot be obtained if the waveform is dampened. Dampening of the waveform can distort the blood pressure readings and lead to inaccurate measurements.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How often is the aline tubing & dressing changed?

    • Every 24 hours

    • Every 48 hours

    • Every 96 hours

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 96 hours
    Explanation
    The aline tubing and dressing are changed every 96 hours. This interval is typically followed to prevent infection and ensure proper hygiene. Changing the tubing and dressing regularly helps maintain the cleanliness of the site and reduces the risk of contamination. It also allows for close monitoring of the patient's condition and any potential complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The pressure bag must be pumped to ______ mmHg.

    • 200

    • 300

    • 400

    Correct Answer
    A. 300
    Explanation
    The pressure bag must be pumped to 300 mmHg in order to maintain the desired pressure. This specific pressure level is likely necessary for the bag to function properly and deliver the required amount of pressure to the system it is connected to. Pumping the bag to a lower or higher pressure may result in inadequate or excessive pressure, which could lead to ineffective or potentially harmful outcomes.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Heparin is used routinely in the aline flush bag.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Heparin is not used routinely in the aline flush bag.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is NOT an indication for an aline?

    • Blood Pressure Management

    • Vasoactive Drip Management

    • Frequent Blood Sampling

    • Doctor Preference

    Correct Answer
    A. Doctor Preference
    Explanation
    Doctor preference is not an indication for an aline. An aline, or arterial line, is a catheter inserted into an artery to monitor blood pressure continuously. It is typically used in situations where frequent blood pressure management, vasoactive drip management, or frequent blood sampling is necessary. However, doctor preference alone is not a valid indication for an aline placement.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which way should the stopcock be turned to draw blood into the syringe?

    • Pointing towards the pt

    • Pointing towards the syringe

    • Pointing towards the flush

    Correct Answer
    A. Pointing towards the flush
    Explanation
    The stopcock should be turned towards the flush in order to draw blood into the syringe. This is because the flush is connected to the syringe and acts as a pathway for the blood to flow into the syringe. By turning the stopcock towards the flush, the blood can be effectively drawn into the syringe for further use or analysis.

    Not a graded question: Have you taken care of a patient with an aline?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Yes" because the question asks if the person has taken care of a patient with an aline, indicating that the person has had experience in providing care to a patient with an aline.

    Which is good aline waveform tracing?A.                                      B. - ProProfs

    Which is good aline waveform tracing?A.                                      B.

    • A

    • B

    Correct Answer
    A. A
    Explanation
    The question is asking which option is a good aline waveform tracing. The correct answer is A. However, without any further context or information provided, it is not possible to provide a specific explanation for why A is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    How long must the pressure be applied when discontinuing a radial aline?

    • 1 min

    • 4 min

    • 5 min

    • 15 min

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 min
    Explanation
    When discontinuing a radial aline, it is important to apply pressure for a sufficient amount of time to ensure proper hemostasis and prevent bleeding. Applying pressure for 5 minutes allows enough time for the blood vessels to constrict and form a clot, effectively stopping any bleeding. This duration is commonly recommended to ensure a successful removal of the radial aline without complications.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    How often is the aline extremity assessed?

    • Every 1 hour

    • Every 2 hours

    • Every 4 hours

    • Every 8 hours

    Correct Answer
    A. Every 8 hours
    Explanation
    The aline extremity is assessed every 8 hours. This means that the extremity is checked for any changes or abnormalities every 8 hours. This frequency allows for regular monitoring of the extremity without being too frequent or too infrequent. Assessing the aline extremity every 8 hours ensures that any potential issues or complications can be detected and addressed in a timely manner.
