The following strip is: - CORRECT ANSWERS- Aflutter
A strong ventricular stimulus is potentially dangerous when it
lands on the:
1. U wave
2. P wave
3. T wave
4. QRS complex - CORRECT ANSWERS- T wave
The rhythm strip below shows: - CORRECT ANSWERS- VTach
An indication for use of an external cardiac pacemaker includes:
1. paroxysmal atria tachycardia
2. Ventricular fibrillation
3. Wenckebach (Mobitz Block Type 1)
4. Symptomatic complete heart block - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Symptomatic complete heart block
In the following rhythm strip the transvenous pacemaker shows:
,1. Failure to sense
2. Demand pacing
3. Failure to fire
4. Failure to capture - CORRECT ANSWERS- Failure to sense
The initial drug treatment for sustained ventricular tachycardia
when a pulse is present is:
1. Isuprel 1.0 mg in 250 ml D5W drip
2. Epinephrine 1.0 mg IV push
3. Atropine 0.5 mg IV push
4. Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 mn - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 min
The rhythm strip below is: - CORRECT ANSWERS- Vfib
The cardiac rhythm of atrial flutter is:
1. benign condition in most people
2. normal following AMI
3. hazardous, as the ventricular ate may suddenly increase
4. hazardous, as it may progress to second degree heart block -
CORRECT ANSWERS- Hazardous, as the ventricular rate may
suddenly increase
, Upon recognizing ventricular fibrillation in an ICU, the next thing
the nurse should do is:
1. perform a precordial thump
2. establish unresponsiveness
3. give amiodarone IV
4. check the ECG leads - CORRECT ANSWERS- Establish
unresponsiveness
The treatment in an emergency situation for complete heart block
is:
1. a trial of atropine
2. preparing for transcutaneous pacing
3. doing cardiac compressions
4. using digoxin - CORRECT ANSWERS- Preparing for
transcutaneous pacing
Your patient has atrial flutter with a ventricular response of 150
beats per minute. Therapy for this rhythm includes:
1. Digoxin, a temporary pacemaker, potassium chloride
2. Lidocaine, sodium bicarb, cardioversion
3. Amiodarone, cardizem, cardioversion
4. Isordil, nitropaste, pronestyl - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Amiodarone, cardizem, cardioversion
Signs of cardiac tamponade do not include which response below?
