Support Final Exam CORRECT 100%
Ventricular Tachycardia - ANSWER A patient is being treated in the emergency department and is
determined to have NSTE-ACS. Invasive management is planned based on which finding?
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Ventricular Fibrillation
- Atrial Tachycardia
On the lower RIGHT abdomen - ANSWER A healthcare provider is establishing cardiac monitoring using a
five-electrode system. The healthcare provider demonstrates proper use of the system by placing the
green electrode in which location?
- Under the left clavicle at the midclavicular line
- At the 4th intercostal space, right sternal border
- On the lower right abdomen
- On the lower left abdomen
Atrial Fibrillation - ANSWER The stroke team is assessing a patient with a suspected stroke. The patient is
alert and able to carry on a conversation, although the patient has difficulty getting the words out.
Testing confirms that the patient has had an ischemic stroke. Based on the patient's medical history, a
history of which arrhythmia would alert the team to the patient's increased risk for stroke?
- Atrial tachycardia
- Atrial fibrillation
- Ventricular fibrillation
- Bradycardia
, Pneumothorax - ANSWER A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and the resuscitation team initiates
ventilations using a bag-valve-mask (BVM) resuscitator. The development of which condition during the
provision of care would lead the team to suspect that improper BVM technique is being used?
- Hypertension
- Pneumothorax
- Rib Fracture
- Esophageal Injury
Unstable Angina - ANSWER A patient presents to the emergency department with mild to moderate
recurrent chest pain, without any nausea or vomiting. A 12-lead ECG is obtained and shows ST-segment
depression with transient T-wave elevation indicative of NSTE-ACS. Cardiac enzyme levels are obtained
and are not elevated. These findings suggest which condition?
- Non-STEMI
- Myocardial Infarction
- STEMI
- Unstable Angina
Visual function, LOC, and Language deficits - ANSWER A patient is brought to the emergency department
by their spouse. The spouse says, "I think it's a stroke." The stroke team initiates a rapid stroke
assessment using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale. Which area(s) would the team include in
this assessment?
- Visual function
- Level of consciousness
- Cranial Nerve function
- Language deficits
- Facial Palsy
