maintain patent airway administer O2 assess VS and LOC
administer antidysrhythmic drug therapy,
as prescribed monitor for dysrhythmias
assess for chest burns from
electrodes provide emotional
support
document results of the cardioversion
3. dysthymia that causes ventricles to quiver?: ventricular fibrillation
,4. which activities can cause excessive vagal stimulation?: asking patient to
