Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the surgeon? 1. Heart rate 90/min 2. Absent bowel sounds → normal findings after major bowel surgery; takes several days to return to normal. 3. Hgb 8.2 g/dl 4. Gastric pH of 3.0 Rationale: Normal Hgb is 13-18M g/dl, 12-16 g/dl. This may indicate a possible hemorr...

During a physical examination, a nurse notes that the client has a slow, regular pulse. On the cardiac monitor the nurse notes that the QRS complexes are regular and there are normal P waves. The ventricular rate is found to be 54 beats per minute. The nurse recognizes that this client may have an abnormality in which part of the conduction system? a) bundle of His b) sinoatrial node c) atrioventricular node d) Purkinje fibers - Answer b) sinoatrial node The client may have problem...

Identify Dysrhythmia! Exam Questions And Answers 2 Lead ECG placement? The precordial leads, also known as chest leads or V leads, view the heart in the horizontal plane. They include six unipolar leads (V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, and V6) that measure electrical activity between the center of the heart and a positive electrode on the chest wall. Heart conduction 1. Sinoatrial node 2. Atrioventricular node 3. Atrioventricular bundle 4. Right and left bundle branches 5. Purkinje fibers ...

What are the 6 parts of the cardiac conduction cycle? correct answer: -SA node -Internodal pathways -AV node -Bundle of His -R and L bundle branches -Purkinje fibers What is the SA node? correct answer: -Small cluster of cells located in the upper R atrium *-Pacemaker of the heart* What are internodal pathways? correct answer: Impulses sent by the SA node that travel through the atrial muscle fibers via the intra-atrial pathways Allows for simultaneous depolarization and contra...
