AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
tion
✔✔In which dysrhythmia does the P wave disappear or occur just before or after the
QRS complex? - ✔✔Junctional escape rhythm
✔✔Which type of block causes one P wave to precede each QRS complex until a QRS
complex is dropped in a regular pattern? - ✔✔Second-degree atrioventricular block,
type II
✔✔A transcutaneous pacemaker is most likely an intervention for which dysrhythmia? -
✔✔Second-degree atrioventricular block, type II
✔✔Calcium channel blockers are indicated to treat which dysrhythmia? - ✔✔Atrial
fibrillation
✔✔For a patient with suspected acute coronary syndrome, which agent is not part of
the recommended management? - ✔✔Nitroprusside (Nitropress)
✔✔Which statement does not accurately characterize nitroglycerin (Nitrostat)
administration? - ✔✔Monitor the patient's vital signs every 2 hours while giving
intravenous nitroglycerin.
✔✔Which electrocardiogram leads reflect the inferior wall? - ✔✔Leads II, III, and aVF
✔✔A man, age 65, presents with chest pain and changes on his 12-lead
electrocardiogram tracing. Which change suggests an acute myocardial infarction? -
✔✔ST-segment elevation greater than 1 mm in two or more contiguous leads
✔✔A man, age 42, presents to the emergency department with sharp, severe chest
pain that increases with inspiration. In addition, he has a fever. The nurse immediately
obtains a 12-lead electrocardiogram tracing, which demonstrates ST-segment elevation
in all leads except aVR and V1. Based on the history and electrocardiographic findings,
what is the most likely diagnosis? - ✔✔Pericarditis
✔✔Which medication is a first-line agent for managing cardiac arrest? - ✔✔Epinephrine
(Adrenalin)
✔✔For a patient who is suspected of having an aortic dissection, which intervention is
