21. Perform immediate electrical cardioversion: A 57-year-old woman has palpi-
tations, chest discomfort, and tachycardia. The monitor shows a regular wide-com-
plex QRS at a rate of 180/min. She becomes diaphoretic, and her blood pressure is
80/60 mm Hg. The next action is to:
22. Give normal Saline 250 mL to 500 ml fluid bolus: A patient with a possible
acute coronary syndrome has ongoing chest discomfort unresponsive to 3 sublin-
gual nitroglycerin tablets. There are no contraindications, and 4 mg of morphine
sulfate was administered. Shortly afterward, blood pressure falls to 88/60 mm Hg,
and the patient has increased chest discomfort. You should:
23. Amiodarone 300 mg: A patient is in pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Two
shocks and 1 dose of epinephrine have been given. Which is the next drug/dose
to anticipate administering?
24. 150 mg IV push: A patient is in refractory ventricular fibrillation and has received
multiple appropriate defibrillation shocks, epinephrine 1 mg IV twice, and an initial
dose of 300 mg amidarone IV. The patient is intubated. A second does of amiodarone
is now called for. The recommended second dose of amiodarone is
25. Adenosine 6 mg: A 35-year-old woman has palpitations, light-headiness, 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 terminated the rhythm. An IV
has been established. What drug should be administered IV?
26. Seeking expert consultation: 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 mm Hg. He has a history of angina. Which of the following actions
is recommended?
27. Use of phosphodiesterase inhibitor within 12 hours.: A patient with possible
ST-segment elevation MI has ongoing chest discomfort. Which of the following would
be a contraindication to the administration of nitrates?
28. Start epinephrine 2 to 10 mcg/min: 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 100/60 mm Hg. Which of the following is now indicated?
29. Epinephrine 1 mg: A patient is in cardiac arrest. Ventricular fibrillation has been
refractory to a second shock. Of the following, which drug and dose should be
administered first by the IV/IO route?
30. Gain IV or IO access: You arrive on the scene with the code team. High-quality
CPR is in progress. An AED has previously advised, "no shock indicated." A rhythm
check now finds asystole. After resuming high-quality compressions, your next
action is to:
