Dysrhythmias Verified Guide
The educator in the cardiac dysrhythmias class describes the characteristic pattern of atrial waves in

atrial flutter as "sawtooth."




For a client displaying third-degree AV block on an EKG monitor and experiencing symptomatic

bradycardia, the most appropriate nursing diagnosis would be "Decreased cardiac output."




A client with premature ventricular contractions may present with symptoms such as "fluttering" or

"heart skipping."




Treatment for symptomatic bradycardia typically includes the administration of "Atropine."




On a Holter monitor, if a client's heart rate consistently exceeds 105 beats per minute with normal

conduction, the cardiologist would likely diagnose "Sinus Tachycardia."




In caring for a client undergoing preoperative teaching before cardiac surgery with plans for a temporary

pacemaker placement, the nurse's responsibility includes "monitoring for pacemaker malfunction or

battery failure."




If you have more questions or need further explanations, feel free to ask!
