D081 QBM3 VERSION 5 INNOVATIVE AND
STRATEGIC THINKING COMPLETE TASK 1
TEST BANK 2026 UPDATED QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Second Degree Heart Block Type 1 Mobitz. Answer: PR interval gets
progressively longer and then drops a QRS; then same cycle begins
again
"long, longer, gone"
QRS:normal
*Pt may not exhibit low CO until rate >40bpm or lower; results from
inflammation around AV node & often Temp.
⩥ Second Degree Heart Block Type 2. Answer: Same as type I except
PR Interval remains constant ( drops QRS)
*Observe Pt for low CO, highly unstable dysrhythmia.
⩥ Third Degree Heart Block (Complete heart block). Answer: more p
waves than QRS;
(Complete heart block) No artial impulses are conducted through the AV
node. Heart has regular atrial activity and regular ventricular activity, but
the activities are not coordinated with each other. R-R always regular
,*Pt show low CO and may be unconscious. Code Blue @ 1st sign of low
CO. Immediate medical intervention/ temporary pacemaker may be
required.
⩥ Premature Atrial Contraction PAC. Answer: Abnormal p wave or
hidden p wave
PRI different from others on strip
Normal QRS
⩥ Premature Junctional Contraction. Answer: Inverted p wave or hidden
p wave
PRI<0.12 or none
Normal QRS
⩥ Premature Ventricular Contraction. Answer: No p wave
No PRI
Wide and bizarre QRS with large T wave in opposite direction
⩥ in cardiac arrest when do you first introduce medical intervention?
which drug?. Answer: after 2 rounds of CPR/shock
after 2nd shock give 1mg epinephrine q3 - 5 minutes
,⩥ when do you introduce amiodarone during cardiac arrest? doses?.
Answer: after the 3rd shock give 300 milligram bolus of amiodarone
if second dose is needed give 150 milligrams as second dose
⩥ what rhythms are shockable in cardiac arrest?. Answer: V-Fib
V-Tach
⩥ what rhythms are not shockable in cardiac arrest?. Answer: asystole
PEA
⩥ if you are in an unshockable rhythm arrest when do you give
epinephrine? doses?. Answer: 1mg epinephrine q3 - 5 minutes after 1st
round of CPR
⩥ what do you do after return of spontaneous circulation?. Answer:
maintain O2 saturations at 94%
treat hypotension (fluids, vasopressor)
12 lead EKG
if in coma consider hypothermia
if not in coma and ekg shows STEMI or AMI consider re-perfusion
⩥ what are the 5 h's and 5 t's. Answer: hypovolemia
, hypoxia
hydrogen ion (acidosis)
hypo/hyperkalemia
hypothermia
tension pneumothorax
tamponade, cardiac
toxins
thrombosis, pulmonary
thrombosis, coronary
⩥ how do you treat non-symptomatic bradycardia?. Answer: monitor
and observe
⩥ what constitutes symptomatic bradycardia?. Answer: hypotension
altered mental status
signs of shock
chest pain
acute heart failure
⩥ how do you treat symptomatic bradycardia?
