A patient with mitral regurgitation (MR) has developed the most common arrhythmia associated with
MR. The intervention most likely to prevent complications from this arrhythmia is:
immediate referral for a pacemaker.
anticoagulation.
beta blocker administration.
valve replacement. - (ANSWER)anticoagulation
Most common arrhythmia associated with mitral regurgitation is atrial fibrillation.
AFIB occurs because the fibers in the atrium are stretched as the atrium dilates. The stretch results in
conduction defects, notably, AFIB.
A child's resting heart rate is expected to be between 60 and 100 beats per minute once he reaches:
4 years of age.
6 years of age.
10 years of age.
12 years of age. - (ANSWER)10 years of age
Which study would be most helpful in evaluating the degree of hypertrophy of the atrium or ventricle?
Chest X-ray
Electrocardiography

A patient who takes HCTZ 25 mg daily has complaints of muscle cramps. He probably has:

A 50-year-old patient with hypertension has taken hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily for the past 4 weeks.
How should the nurse practitioner proceed?
2/2 - 155/95, 69 bpm
3/2 - 145/90, 66 bpm
Wait 4 weeks before making a dosage change.
Increase the hydrochlorothiazide to 50 mg daily.
Add a drug from another class to the daily 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide.
Stop the hydrochlorothiazide and start a drug from a different class. - (ANSWER)Add a drug from another
class to the daily 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide
Increasing the dose of HCTZ to 50 mg daily will not result in a decrease in BP, only an increase in
potassium loss. Adding a drug from a different class is a better choice
