Medical Surgical Telemetry B Questions
and Answers Graded A+
How does telemetry monitoring help detect early signs of shock?


✔✔Telemetry monitoring can track changes in heart rate, rhythm, and blood pressure that may

indicate the onset of shock, such as a decrease in heart rate or irregular rhythms, allowing for

prompt intervention.




What actions should be taken if telemetry indicates a prolonged PR interval?


✔✔A prolonged PR interval may indicate first-degree heart block. The healthcare provider

should assess the patient’s condition and decide if further monitoring or intervention is needed,

depending on symptoms.




How is telemetry used to assess the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs?


✔✔Telemetry helps track the heart’s rhythm in real-time, allowing healthcare providers to assess

whether antiarrhythmic medications are successfully controlling arrhythmias and if dosage

adjustments are needed.




What can a widening QRS complex indicate on telemetry monitoring?




1

, ✔✔A widening QRS complex may indicate a bundle branch block, ventricular arrhythmias, or

other conduction disturbances, and should be evaluated in the context of the patient’s clinical

status.




How does an ECG in telemetry monitoring help in detecting myocardial infarction (MI)?


✔✔An ECG can detect changes in the ST segment, T waves, or Q waves, which can indicate

ischemia or myocardial injury, providing crucial information for diagnosing a myocardial

infarction.




What should be the first step if a telemetry monitor shows a patient in ventricular fibrillation?


✔✔The first step is to assess the patient's responsiveness and pulse. If the patient is unresponsive

and pulseless, initiate CPR and prepare for immediate defibrillation.




What does a prolonged QT interval signify on a telemetry monitor?


✔✔A prolonged QT interval can increase the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias like torsades de

pointes, often caused by electrolyte imbalances, medications, or genetic factors.
