SCC Block 2 Exam 2 (Cardiac and Fluid and Electrolytes)
Questions With Complete Solutions
5 lead electrode placement Correct Answer white on right
red on left lower
black on left above smoke which is red
poop brown middle right of heart
green on right bottom
Ablation in regards to ST or sinus tachycardia Correct Answer
an ablation catheter is threaded into the heart and uses energy
and destroys a small part of the heart that creates tachycardia. A
permanent pacemaker.
Ace Inhibitors or ACE-I end in Correct Answer PRIL. For
example, Captopril, Enalaril, Fosinopril, Lisinopril
Ace Inhibitors or ACE-I mode of action Correct Answer
block ACE from converting Angiotensin 1 to Angiotensin 2 by
decreasing blood pressure with vasodilation and decreasing
aldosterone production! There is sodium and fluid loss, in
addition to a small increase in serum potassium levels
Analyzing a heart rhythm for a heart beat per minute Correct
Answer Count 5 large boxes in a row on the strip and count
how ever many R to R's there are within those 5 large - one
second box areas. Typically R-R intervals can be counted over
six - five large boxes; then multiply by 10 to get beats per
minute
,Analyzing a rhythm strip can be determined with calipers. It can
determine Correct Answer R to R for heart rate, P waves, PR
interval, QRS complex, QT interval and identifying cardiac
rhythms
ARBs or angiotensin 2 receptor blockers end in SARTAN and
prevent the release of Correct Answer aldosterone. ARBs
include losartan
Asystole Correct Answer Heart rhthym to a flat line or
absence of contractions of the heart
Atenolol is a beta-blocker and it is CARDIOSELECTIVE of
Correct Answer beta-1 adrenergic receptors. Sometimees it
blocks beta-2 receptor and nurses must watch for
bronchoconstriction and airway or breathing issues
Atenolol is used to treat Correct Answer hypertension, angina,
heart failure, prevent MI's or heart attacks, decrease mortality in
patients with recent MI's, dysrhythmias and migraines
Atenolol must be used cautiously with diabetics because
Correct Answer it masks signs and symptoms of low blood
sugar
Atrial fibrillation Correct Answer Also know as A-fib because
there are F waves or basically uncoordinated and fast atrial
activity. There are NO P waves and instead have F waves.
Ventricular rate is 100-160 beats per minute and R to R intervals
are always irregular.
, Atrial Fibrillation is also known as "Irregularly irregular" and to
get the correct heart rate, you should Correct Answer listen
for a full minute
Atrial fibrillation with RAPID ventricular rate Correct Answer
is A-fib with super short R to R intervals and may look like
sinus tachycardia but remember, ST has P and T waves, A-fib
DOES NOT
Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular rate Correct Answer is
A-fib with wider R to R intervals
Before beginning therapy of hypertension drug therapy, a
Correct Answer thorough health history and head to toe
physical should be done
Best practices for home blood pressure monitoring should
include Correct Answer home monitoring to reduce the white
coat effect. Bringing the monitor to the office for verification,
teaching blood pressure steps. For new diagnosis' or medication
adjustments, patients should log their blood pressures first thing
in the morning and before bed.
Beta-blockers block what? Correct Answer Epinephrine or
adrenaline from receptor sites to reduce heart rate, contractility
and decrease renin
Beta-blockers end in Correct Answer OLOL. Like Atenolol,
Metoprolol and Propranolol
