CMS Exam #2 Questions & Answers 2024/2025 Sinus bradycardia - ANSWERS<60 bpm sinus rhythm - SA node sends slower impulses but conduction continues normally throughout the heart - PR regular, QRS regular interventions: - assess ABCs - determine if symptoms are present - identify/treat underlying cause if symptomatic Interventions for symptomatic bradycardia - ANSWERS- oxygen if hypoxemic - IV fluids - Atropine 1mg q3-5 mins x3 - if Atropine is ineffective/maximum dosag...

2nd degree AV block type 1 ekg finding - PR interval gradually lengthened until there is a dropped QRS 3rd degree AV block - SA and AV node are not communicating. Causes hypotension. This is a complete heart block SA and AV node are firing independently of each other - no association between atria and ventricle - R waves regular because AV node firing regularly - P waves regular because SA node is firing regularly 3rd degree AV block EKG finding - QRS complex will be wide and there will b...

Describe effect on low and high albumin levels on active drug levels especially for drugs that are highly protein bound Albumin is the plasma protein with the greatest capacity for binding drugs. Binding plasma proteins affect drug distribution into tissues, because only drug that is not bound is available to penetrate tissues, bind to receptors, and exert activity. As free drug leaves the blood stream, more bound drug is released from binding sites. Identify 2nd degree heart block perman...

Nitroprusside purpose - Answer- decreases preload and afterload by vasodilation (mainly afterload) Dobutamine mechanism of action - Answer- contractility Dopamine at a low-end dose "renal dose" - Answer- 0.5-4mcg/kg/min increases renal and mesentric perfusion Dopamine at a mid-range dose - Answer- 4-10mcg/kg/min increases contractility and heart rate Dopamine at a high-range dose - Answer- greater than 10mcg/kg/min vasoconstriction and increases BP Dopamine and Levophed inf...

PSG Boards Exam Prep What is Atrial Fibrillation? - In atrial fibrillation, the electrical activity of the heart is uncoordinated, with electricity traveling about the upper chambers in a chaotic fashion, causing the upper chambers to quiver (like a "bag of worms") and contract inefficiently or not at all. Common in elderly and those with heart disease. What is Atrial Flutter? - Atrial flutter causes a rapid but coordinated electrical stimulation of the upper chamber of the heart, of...
