Quiz_________________?
A 49-year-old man has retrosternal chest pain radiating into the left arm. The patient is
diaphoretic, with associated shortness of breath. The blood pressure is 130/88 mm Hg, the
heart rate is 110/min, the respiratory rate is 22 breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry value is
95%. The patient's 12-lead ECG shows ST-segment elevation in the anterior leads. First
responders administered 160 mg of aspirin, and there is a patent peripheral IV. The pain is
described as an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 and is unrelieved after 3 doses of nitroglycerin. What
is the next action? -
ANSWER

is 12 breaths/min, and the pulse oximetry reading is 95%. The lead II ECG displays a wide-
complex tachycardia. What is the next action after establishing an IV and obtaining a 12-lead
ECG? -

rythm. What would be your next action? -
ANSWER
Cinncinati Stroke Scale
Quiz_________________?
A monitored pt. in the ICU developed a suddent onset of narrow complex tach at a rate of
220/min. The pt's BP is 128/58, the PETCO2 is 38mm Hg, and the O2 sat is 98%. There is
an EJ established for vascular access. The pt. denies taking any vasodialators. A 12 lead
shows no ischemia or infarction. Vagal manuevers are ineffective. What is the next
intervention? -
