The resuscitation team suspects that hyperkalemia is the cause of cardiac arrest in a
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




patient brought to the emergency department. Which finding on a 12-lead ECG
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




would confirm this suspicion?
|;, |;, |;, |;,




Wide-complex ventricular rhythm or tall, pointed T waves |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




A patient with dyspnea and a change in mental status arrives at the emergency
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




department. The healthcare team completes the necessary assessments and begins
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




to care for the patient, including initiating cardiac monitoring, pulse oximetry,
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




supplemental oxygen and vascular access. The team reviews the patient's ECG
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




rhythm strip, as shown in the following figure. Which agent would the team most
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




likely administer?
|;, |;,




Atropine 0.5 mg every 4 to 5 minutes |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




A patient experiencing an unstable bradyarrhythmia does not respond to atropine or
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




transcutaneous pacing. Which intervention would the healthcare provider use
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




next?
|;,




Administration of an epinephrine infusion |;, |;, |;, |;,




A patient's ECG reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is hemodynamically stable
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




and has a heart rate ranging from 120 to 135 beats per minute. Based on the
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




findings of the secondary assessment, which statement(s) by the patient would the
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




team interpret as a possible contributing cause?
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




1. "I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough and fever the past week."
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




2. "I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job."
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




3. "I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a gastrointestinal bug."
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,

, A patient's ECG reveals a narrow QRS complex with a regular rhythm, indicating a
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




narrow-complex supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. The patient is hemodynamically
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




stable. Which intervention would be initiated first?
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




Vagal maneuvers |;,




A patient in the telemetry unit is stable. Cardiac monitoring indicates the patient has
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




ventricular tachycardia with a pulse. Further assessment reveals that the corrected
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




QT interval is greater than 0.46 seconds. Which treatment would be appropriate at
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




this time?
|;, |;,




Synchronized cardioversion |;,




An ECG strip of a patient in the emergency department reveals the following
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




rhythm. Which feature would the healthcare provider interpret as indicating atrial
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




fibrillation?
| ; ,




Absence of discrete P waves and presence of irregularly irregular QRS
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




|;, complexes A patient is brought into the emergency department. The patient |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




does not have a
|;, |;, |;, |;,




pulse. The cardiac monitor shows the following rhythm. The team interprets this as
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




which condition?
|;, |;,




Ventricular tachycardia |;,




A patient with acute renal failure experiences cardiac arrest. Just before the cardiac
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




arrest, the patient's ECG showed peaked T waves. What might be causing the
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




patient's cardiac arrest?
|;, |;, |;,




Hyperkalemia


A member of the resuscitation team is preparing to defibrillate a patient in cardiac
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




arrest using a biphasic defibrillator. The team member would set the energy dose
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




according to the manufacturer's recommendations, which is usually:
|;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;, |;,




120 to 200 joules |;, |;, |;,
