Nurse 495 Exam 1 questions with verified answers
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm Ans✓✓✓ same as idioventricular
rhythm, rate more than 40 bpm
accelerated junctional rhythms ad junctional tachycardia Ans✓✓✓
accelerated junctional tachycardia:60-100 bpm
junctional tachycardia:greater than 100 bpm
treatment:assess and treatise tachycardia
ACLS summary Ans✓✓✓ -treat patient, not monitor
-effective CPR throughout
-Early defibrillation is essential
-follow treatment algorithms
acsystole code management Ans✓✓✓ ABCD with CPR
-airway, oxygen, intubate Iv access
-confirm in two leads
-treat cause
-transcutaneous pacemaker
-epinephrine
adensine Ans✓✓✓ paroxysmal SVT, slows conduction through AV
,Advanced life support Ans✓✓✓ BLS survey:goal-early, high quality CPR
with early defribillation
ACLS survey
Trained providers
primary & secondary survey
amiodarone (cordarone) Ans✓✓✓ VT and VF, ventricular dysrhtymia
asystole Ans✓✓✓ no P, Q, R, S, T wave
asystole intervention Ans✓✓✓ ABCD with CPR; airway, O2, intubate, IV
access, transcutaneous pacemaker; give epi
atrial fibrillation Ans✓✓✓ erratic impulse formation in atria. no
discernible P wave, irregular ventricular rate. results in loss of atrial kick
atrial fibrillation intervention Ans✓✓✓ anticoagulants: after 4 weeks on
anticoagulants can do elective cardio version (with amiodarone);
ventricular rate control (beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and
digoxin); ablation
atrial flutter causes Ans✓✓✓ heart disease, hypoxia, PE, digoxin toxicity
, atrial flutter Ans✓✓✓ "sawtooth" pattern in leads 2,3, aVF. 250-350
bpm
Atrial flutter intervention Ans✓✓✓ chronic antithrombotic therapy. rate
control medications that block the AV node (beta blockers, calcium
channel blockers, digoxin)
atrial pacing Ans✓✓✓ stimulates depolarization
atrial tachycardia Ans✓✓✓ rapid rhythm, p wave is shape different ,
ectopic focus in atria.
1:1 conduction ventricle responds to every atrial impulse
2:1 conduction ventricle responds to every 2 atrial impulses
Atrial tachycardia intervention Ans✓✓✓ >150 bpm>>cardioversion;
meds (adenosine, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and
amiodarone)
atrioventricular blocks Ans✓✓✓ block of conduction from atria to
ventricles.
CAD, MI, infections, drug effects
