answers
Ventricular Tachycardia - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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 - correct 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
