EMERGENCY NURSING ORIENTATION 3.0: CARDIOVASCULAR EMERGENCIES PART I PART IIWhich intervention is used to treat a patient with ventricular fibrillation who has an implantable cardiac defibrillator? - Answer- Apply hands-free adhesive patches in the anterior-posterior position and defibrillate.
Which dysrhythmia has an irregularly irregular ventricular response - Answer- Atrial fibrillation
Which medication should be administered during the resuscitation of a patient with ventricular fibrillation? - Answer- Epinephrine (Adrenalin)
Which disorder is likely to produce a delta wave on the cardiac monitor? - Answer- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
A preexcitation syndrome, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, results from which
conduction pattern? - Answer- Atrial impulses bypass the typical electrical pathway and activate the ventricular myocardium directly.
A patient has stable, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. To perform synchronized cardioversion with a biphasic defibrillator and convert this dysrhythmia, which energy setting should be used first? - Answer- 100 joules
Which disorder can initiate atrial flutter? - Answer- Pulmonary embolism
Which disorder is potentially reversible if the cause is immediately treated? - Answer- Pulseless electrical activity
Which drug may be used to convert new-onset atrial fibrillation? - Answer- Amiodarone (Cordarone)
An unstable patient with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia requires which electrical treatment with a biphasic defibrillator? - Answer- Defibrillation at 200 joules
In the PAAS mnemonic for performing automated external defibrillation, what does the P stand for? - Answer- Power Pulse
Which dysrhythmia results from the continuous stimulation of two conduction pathways in the atrioventricular node? - Answer- Atrial fibrillation
In which dysrhythmia does an impulse originate in the atrioventricular junction before the next expected sinus impulse? - Answer- Premature junctional complex
