A 35-year-old woman has palpitations, light-headedness, and a stable tachycardia. The
monitor shows a regular narrow-complex QRS at a rate of 180/min. Vagal maneuvers
have not been effective in terminating the rhythm. An IV has been established. Which
drug should be administered? - ANSAdenosine 6 mg
A 57-year-old woman has palpitations, chest discomfort, and tachycardia. The monitor
shows a
regular wide-complex QRS at a rate of 180/min. She becomes diaphoretic, and her
blood pressure is 80/60 mm Hg. Which action do you take next? - ANSPerform
electrical cardioversion
A 62-year-old man suddenly experienced difficulty speaking and left-sided weakness.
He meets initial criteria for fibrinolytic therapy, and a CT scan of the brain is ordered.
Which best describes the guidelines for antiplatelet and fibrinolytic therapy? - ANSHold
aspirin for at least 24 hours if rtPA is administered.
A monitored patient in the ICU developed a sudden onset of narrow-complex
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? -
ANSAdminister adenosine 6mg IV push
A patient has a rapid irregular wide-complex tachycardia. The ventricular rate is
138/min. He is asymptomatic, with a blood pressure of 110/70 mmHg. He has a history
of angina. What action is recommended next? - ANSSeeking expert consultation
A patient has sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of 36/min. Atropine has been
administered to a
total dose of 3 mg. A transcutaneous pacemaker has failed to capture. The patient is
confused, and her blood pressure
is 88/56 mm Hg. Which therapy is now indicated? - ANSEpinephrine 2 to 10 mcg/min
A patient is in cardiac arrest. High-quality chest compressions are being given. The
patient is
