21. A monitored patient in the ICU developed a sudden onset of narrow-com- plex tachycardia at a rate of
220/min. The patient's blood pressure is 128/58 mm Hg, the PETCO2 is 38 mm Hg, and the pulse oximetry

reading is 98%. There is vascular access in the left arm, and the patient has not been given any vasoactive drugs.

A 12-lead ECG confirms a supraventricular tachycardia with no evidence of ischemia or infarction. The heart

rate has not responded to vagal maneuvers. What is your next action?


Administer amiodarone 300 mg IV push Administer adenosine

6 mg IV push

Perform synchronized cardioversion at 200 J

Perform synchronized cardioversion at 50 J: Administer adenosine 6 mg IV push

22. You are caring for a 66-year-old man with a history of a large intracerebral hemorrhage 2 months ago. He is
being evaluated for another acute stroke. The CT scan is negative for hemorrhage. The patient is receiving

oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 L/min, and an IV has been established. His blood pressure is 180/100 mm Hg.

Which drug do you anticipate giving to this patient?


Aspirin

rtPA

Glucose (D50) Nicardipine: Aspirin

23. A patient is in pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Two shocks and 1 dose of epinephrine have been given.
