QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS |
GUARANTEED A+
What is the priority intervention for a patient with a narrow-complex
tachycardia (160 bpm) and a blood pressure of 72/48 mmHg? - Answer-
Perform immediate synchronized cardioversion
A patient is admitted to the emergency department with signs and
symptoms of stroke. The stroke team should complete a comprehensive
neurologic assessment and obtain brain imaging results within what time
frame? - Answer-Within 20 minutes
Cardiac monitoring of a patient in cardiac arrest reveals ventricular
fibrillation. In addition to high-quality CPR, what intervention should be
a priority for the team? - Answer-Defibrillation.
A patient with suspected acute coronary syndromes (ACS) has a pulse
oximetry reading of 86% and is given supplemental oxygen. The
provider determines that the supplemental oxygen dose is correct based
on which SaO2 level? - Answer-93%
, After cardiac arrest and successful resuscitation, the patient has a return
of spontaneous circulation. The patient is unable to follow verbal
commands. Targeted temperature management is initiated. Which
method(s) would be appropriate for the resuscitation team to use? -
Answer--Applying cooling blankets to the patient's body
-Using an endovascular catheter
-Giving an ice-cold IV fluid bolus

initiated and reveals the following ECG rhythm strip. The provider
interprets this strip as indicating which arrhythmia? - Answer-Atrial
flutter

ECG reveals a new ST-segment elevation at the J point in leads V2 and
V3 of at least which size? - Answer-0.15 mV
The following capnogram is from a patient experiencing respiratory
distress. At which point in the waveform would the patient's ETCO2
level be measured? - Answer-D
