Nursing Care: Cardiac Dysrhythmias Already Graded A+

Nursing Care: Cardiac Dysrhythmias Already Graded A+ Which assessment data suggests the presence of a dysrhythmia? - Dyspnea - Tachycardia - Chest pain - Confusion - Palpitations - Lightheadedness - Syncope A nurse is caring for a client two days after a myocardial infarction. When analyzing the electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern, the nurse observes the following: - Atrial rate: 82 bpm, regular - Ventricular rate: 46 bpm, regular - P waves and QRS complexes are normal - There is no relationship between the P wave and QRS complex What dysrhythmia does this identify? - Third-degree heart block When caring for a client with ventricular fibrillation, the nurse understands that defibrillation _________________ the cells of the myocardium to allow the ______________ to resume pacemaker functions. ️depolarizes SA node First-degree Third-degree Second-degree, Type II Second-degree, Type I ️Atrial and ventricular rate normal. One P wave for each QRS complex. Prolonged PR interval. Constant atrial rate, constant ventricular rate. P wave has no relationship to QRS complexes. Inconsistent PR interval. Constant atrial rate, irregular ventricular rate. More P waves than QRS complexes. PR interval constant. Constant atrial rate, irregular ventricular rate. Progressive lengthening of PR interval until QRS complex is dropped. Fixed-mode pacemakers fire in a/an ___________ pattern. The rate does not change with _____________. Demand-mode pacemakers fire in a/an ____________ pattern. The device only fires when the _________ is below the set threshold. ️asynchronous activity synchronous heart rate After providing discharge teaching, which statement by the client indicates a need for further clarification? ️"I can still use my microwave and electric garage door opener." "I should not carry my cell phone in a shirt pocket over the pacemaker." "I will notify the airport screener about my pacemaker." "I can expect to have regular hiccups." < When analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG) rhythms, which rhythm has the potential to effectively respond to defibrillation? ️There are fast and wide QRS complexes, heart rate is 150 bpm. The nurse verifies that the ECG leads are connected. What clinical manifestations would the nurse anticipate based on this rhythm? Select all that apply. ️Loss of consciousness < No respirations < Fever Bradycardia Slurred speech Tachypnea No pulse < Tachycardia After reviewing Mrs. Morgan's medical record, select the assessment findings which indicate the client is experiencing heart failure. Select all that apply. ️Weight gain <
