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...

CSEP CEP Study Guide Exam Questions & Answers 2024/2025 Autorythmic - ANSWERSSelf Exciteable, and repeatedly generate action potential eg. natural pace maker Cause of fundamental heart rhythm - ANSWERSNOT by nerve impulses or hormones, rather electrical impluse SA Node - ANSWERSMain natural pacemaker, faster conduction than autorhytmic fibres The Heart's electrical flow - ANSWERSSA Node to AV Node - AV Node to AV Bundle - Bundle of HIS to L and R branches to Apex and Purkinje FIbr...

To determine whether there is a delay in impulse conduction through the ventricles, the nurse will measure the duration of the patient's: A) p wave B) q wave C) pr interval D) qrs complex D) qrs complex (the qrs complex represents ventricular depolarization. The p wave represents the depolarization of the atria. The pr interval represents depolarization of the atria, av node, bundle of his, bundle branches, and the purkinje fibers. The q wave is the first negative deflection following the...

Which of the EKG findings is most likely indicative of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in a patient presenting with acute chest pain? A. Wide and bizarre QRS complexes in the EKG B. ST segment changes (STEMI or NSTEMI) in the EKG C. A saw-toothed pattern in the EKG saw-toothed pattern in the EKG D. Flat line in the EKG - Answer- B. ST segment changes (STEMI or NSTEMI) in the EKG To determine whether there is a delay in impulse conduction through the atria, the nurse will measure the len...

When analyzing the waveforms of a client's electrocardiogram (ECG), the nurse will need to investigate further upon assessing which of the following findings? a. A P-R interval of 0.18 seconds b. A QRS interval of 0.14 seconds c. Q-T interval of 0.34 seconds d. T wave of 0.16 seconds Correct Answer-QRS interval of 0.14 second Unconsciousness without response to painful stimuli is assessed in a client with a head injury who has been admitted to the emergency department. To promote cerebra...

ANCC Risk mgt / ethics / research Exam 93 Questions with Verified Answers What are some systematic components to reducing risk? What does it begin with? - CORRECT ANSWER Begins with a formal written plan -organizational goals -delineation of program scope, components, methods -delegating responsibility for implementation and enforcement -commitment of the board -guarantees of confidentiality and immunity for those who squeal goals -> scope/methods -> delegation -> board b...

Ashman phenomenon is a predisposition for aberrancy when which of the following occurs? A. A long P-P interval is followed by a short P-P interval. B. A short P-P interval is followed by a long P-P interval. C. A short R-R interval is followed by a long R-R interval. D. A long R-R interval is followed by a short R-R interval. - correct answer D Ashman phenomenon occurs when a short cycle follows a long cycle. Refractory periods are related to cycle length. When a short cycle follo...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) correct answer: Since you can't see the heart beating we use a ECG to provide a picture that replicates the actual cardiac issue. Myocardial Infraction (MI) correct answer: Heart Attack -Have abnormal rhythms. -Death of cardiac muscle due to ischemia Doe the ECG machine monitor or control the hearts rhythm? correct answer: Only monitors Straight line when machine is turned on but not connected to the patient correct answer: Isoelectric = no current ...
