NURS-4581 Quiz 4 Questions and 100% Correct Answers 2026/27 Update - UTA
Question 1
0..1 pts
Which of the following situations that indicates a need for a synchronized
cardioversion?
Ventricular fibrillation.
Asystole.
Atrial fibrillation, BP 68/40, heart rate 160, client is lethargic and confused.
Sinus bradycardia with heart rate of 40, B/P 88/56.
The only correct option is to synchronize cardiovert Atrial Fibrillation. You do
not shock asystole or bradycardias. You defibrillate ventricular fibrillation.
Question 2
0..1 pts
A client in the coronary care unit develops the following rhythm. The crash
cart is at the bedside.
What is the appropriate first intervention by the nurse?
CPR
Epinephrine 1mg IV Push
Synchronized cardioversion
Defibrillation
NURS-4581 Quiz 4
, Only defibrillation will have the possibility of converting this rhythm into one
with a pulse so this should be the priority. You cannot cardiovert ventricular
fibrillation for it will not synchronize to the chaotic pattern. CPR will help
with perfusing some blood while the client is without a pulse. Epinephrine
will help with restoration of a normalized rhythm post defibrillation but
neither CPR or epinephrine will have the possibility of converting the rhythm.
Question 3
0..1 pts
An ICU client's cardiac monitor displays the following rhythm. The crash cart
is at the bedside. The nurse's first action should be
Check a pulse.
Immediate defibrillation.
Epinephrine IV push.
CPR.
The intervention is dependent upon whether or not the client has a pulse. If
there is a pulse, then amiodarone would be given even possible
cardioversion. If there is no pulse, then immediate defibrillation is required
followed by CPR for 2 minutes, reassessment and still pulseless in this
rhythm then defibrillation, CPR with epinephrine administered during
compressions.
Question 4

Synchronized cardioversion is a procedure used to convert certain
dysrhythmias to normal sinus rhythm. In addition to atrial fibrillation,
cardioversion is most effective when the client demonstrates:
