NURS 114 - Final Exam questions and answers
graded A+ latest update
1. characteristics
No P wave; irregular rhythm, irregular pattern; very fast rate (350-600
of A fib
atrial beats/minute)
2. main fn of
decrease inflammation
DMARDs and 2
methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine
types
low CO; arf thrombus & stroke bc heart is quivering not actually
3. risks/sxs pumping
associated with A
fib
4. drugs for A fib Amiodarone - regulates rhythm (Ami won't turn One unless we regula
her
rhythm)
Digoxin (do not give if HR < 60) - regulates rhythm (A
fIb - dIg) Anti-coag (warfarin, heparin) - dt thrombus
risk
CCB (-pines, diltiazem, verapamil) - relaxes
the heart muscle
B-blockers(-lols) - decrease HR
5. whats Dig toxicity anorexia, NV, fatigue, HA, visual changes, depression monitor K while
giving
Dig
6. What level taking Dig
should you
monitor while 7. how does too much potassium effect Di

graded A+ latest update
8. how does too potassium
little potassium
effect Dig
Too much potassium can cause digoxin not to be ettective/therapeu
Too little potassium can cause digoxin to be TOO ettective causing
toxicity

9. Sx for a fib Cardioversion, ablation
10. how can you Sawtooth-shaped flutter waves
de- scribe A
flutter
11. what is A flutter char- No P waves; regular pattern, irregular rhythm; very fast atrial ra
acterized by
12. sxs/ risks when Low CO; arf thrombus & stroke
you have a
flutter
13. drugs for a flutter Amiodarone - to maintain nL rhythm i want ami to stay 1 forever
Anti-coag (warfarin, heparin) - dt thrombus
risk CCB (-pines, diltiazem) - relaxes the heart
muscle B-blockers(-lols) - decrease HR
14. sx for a flutter Cardioversion, ablation
15. how would you regular rhythm, high rate (150-220 bpm)
de- scribe SVT
basically tachycardia, just rate above 150
16. sxs of having SVT Low CO; low BP; CP & dyspnea
17. drugs for SVT #1: IV adenosine - reduce HR (give rapidly, follow with flush) (drink
gator*ADE* to cool down and *decrease HR* .......or I want to
slow down
on my sinning)
