Questions with 100% Correct Answers |

The resuscitation team suspects that hyperkalemia is the cause of cardiac
arrest in a patient brought to the emergency department. Which finding on
a 12-lead ECG would confirm this suspicion? - ✔✔Wide-complex
ventricular rhythm or tall, pointed T waves
A patient with dyspnea and a change in mental status arrives at the
emergency department. The healthcare team completes the necessary
assessments and begins to care for the patient, including initiating cardiac
monitoring, pulse oximetry, supplemental oxygen and vascular access. The
team reviews the patient's ECG rhythm strip, as shown in the following
figure. Which agent would the team most likely administer? - ✔✔Atropine
0.5 mg every 4 to 5 minutes

, A patient experiencing an unstable bradyarrhythmia does not respond to
atropine or transcutaneous pacing. Which intervention would the healthcare
provider use next? - ✔✔Administration of an epinephrine infusion
A patient's ECG reveals a tachyarrhythmia. The patient is hemodynamically
stable and has a heart rate ranging from 120 to 135 beats per minute.
Based on the findings of the secondary assessment, which statement(s) by
the patient would the team interpret as a possible contributing cause? -
✔✔1. "I've had a terrible cold with a horrible cough and fever the past
week."
2. "I've been so anxious lately because I just lost my job."
3. "I've been vomiting for the past 2 days from a gastrointestinal bug."
A patient's ECG reveals a narrow QRS complex with a regular rhythm,
indicating a narrow-complex supraventricular tachyarrhythmia. The patient
is hemodynamically stable. Which intervention would be initiated first? -
✔✔Vagal maneuvers
A patient in the telemetry unit is stable. Cardiac monitoring indicates the
patient has ventricular tachycardia with a pulse. Further assessment
reveals that the corrected QT interval is greater than 0.46 seconds. Which
