t/f sinus bradycardia and true
sinus tachycardia can either
have physiologic or
pathophysiologic causes
t/f atrial arrhythmias false
originate in the sinus node
the nurse is caring for a b) most common sustained arrhythmia in the US
patient diagnosed with
atrial fibrillation and knows
which of the following to
be true about this
arrhythmia?
a) most deadly of all
arrhythmias
b) most common sustained
arrhythmia in the US
c) has no adverse effects
d) is a ventricular
arrhythmia
,the nurse is caring for a d) embolic stroke
patient with paroxysmal
atrial fibrillation. the nurse
understands that patients
with atrial fibrillation,
particularly the paroxysmal
form, are at risk for which of
the following
complications?
a) pulmonary embolism
b) ventricular tachycardia
c) infectious endocarditis
d) embolic stroke
the nurse is notified by the c) check the patient for a pulse
monitor tech that the
patient is in ventricular
tachycardia. the nurse
understands that the next
action would be which of
the following?
a) defibrillate the patient
b) determine the patient's
blood pressure
c) check the patient for a
pulse
d) call a code
,the monitor tech notifies b) begin CPR
the nurse that the patient is
in asystole. the nurse finds
the patient unresponsive
and without a pulse or
breathing. the nurse knows
that the next action in the
care of this patient will be
which of the following?
a) check the patient for a
pulse

and bring it to the patient's
room
t/f it is appropriate to false
defibrillate a patient in
asystole

patient with a demand needed to begin ventricular depolarization
ventricular pacemaker. the
nurse understands that this
patient's pacemaker
functions in which of the
following ways?
a) provides a shock when it
senses that the patient is in
a lethal ventricular
arrhythmia
b) senses electrical activity
of the ventricle and paces if
needed to begin
ventricular depolarization
c) paces the patient at a
certain rate regardless of
the patient's ventricular
activity
d) provides pacing of the
ventricles through a vest
worn by the patient
t/f patients with false
pacemakers no longer
need to be concerned
about airport scanners
t/f cardiac tamponade can true
be a complication of
pacemaker insertion
t/f atherosclerosis is the true
most common heart
disease in the US
t/f coronary artery disease false
is the leading cause of
death in the US for men
