You are caring for a child who was resuscitated after a drowning event. The child is intubated and ventilated with 100% oxygen with equal breath sounds and exhaled CO₂ detected. The heart rate is slow and the monitor shows sinus bradycardia. The skin is cool, mottled, and moist; distal pulses are not palpable and the central pulses are weak. Intravenous access has been established. The core temperature is 37.3°C. Based on the PALS bradycardia algorithm, which of the following should be p...

Question : The major impact of the physiological changes that occur with aging is: Student Answer: Reduced physiological reserve Instructor Explanation: The major impact of all of these physiological changes can be highlighted with three primary points. First, there is a reduced physiological reserve of most body systems, particularly cardiac, respiratory, and renal. Second, there are reduced homeostatic mechanisms that fail to adjust regulatory systems such a...

Define Transition element Correct Answer A d-block element that can form at least one stable ion with an incomplete d sub-shell Why aren't scandium and Zinc transition elements? Correct Answer Cannot form stable ions with an incomplete d-sub shell. Sc 3+ has an empty d-sub shell and Zn 2+ has a full d sub shell. Name the oxidation states and coloured ions for Manganese Correct Answer MnO4 - (purple) MnO4 2- (green) Mn 2+ (pale pink) Name the oxidation state and coloured ions for Tita...

Dysrhythmia correct answer: Any disorder of the heart beat or heart rhythm. Cardiac output is impaired. Cellular oxygenation is then also impaired Electrical problem will definitely effect the mechanical but a mechanical problem may not effect the electrical. Explaining dysrhythmias correct answer: -Classified to their site of origin -SA node atrial tissue, AV node, junctional tissue (tissue around AV node), and ventricular tissue -Caused by a disturbance in impulse formation or b...

How does COPD result in atrial fibrillation and predisposition to PEs? - COPD causes pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy, and right atrial enlargement. The right atrial enlargement causes stretching of the atrial tissue and frequently results in atrial dysrhythmias. SA blocks, second-degree AV block type I, and third-degree AV heart block at the level of the AV node would occur in _______________ occlusion - RCA (as seen in inferior wall MIs) There is (more/less) risk of b...
