Oral antiplatelet medications C. Beta blockers D. Calcium channel blockers Oral antiplatelet medications What is a benefit of morphine when given for the management of acute coronary syndromes? A.

Which intervention is most appropriate for the treatment of a patient in asystole? Epinephrine You arrive on the scene with the code team. High-quality CPR is in progress. An AED has previousy advised "no shock indicated." A rhythm check now finds asystole. After resuming high-quality compressions, which action do you take next? Establish IV or IO access A monitored patient in the ICU developed a sudden onset of narrow-complex tachycardia at a rate of 220/min. The patient's blood pr...

A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and the resuscitation team initiates ventilations using a bagvalve-mask (BVM) resuscitator. The development of which condition during the provision of care would lead the team to suspect that improper BVM technique is being used? Hypertension Esophageal injury Pneumothorax Rib fracture Pneumothorax Complications can occur with the use of a BVM resuscitator due to improper technique. Delivering excessive volume or ventilating too fast creates excess...

Identify the rhythm. 3˚ AV block p and qrs completely separate Identify the rhythm. Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) Identify the rhythm. Coarse ventricular fibrillation Identify the rhythm. Reentry supraventricualr tachycardia (SVT) Identify the rhythm. Sinus bradycardia Identify the rhythm. Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

Any organized rhythm without a pulse is defined as pulseless electrical activity (PEA). True Synchronized cardioversion is appropriate for treating an unknown wide complex tachycardia. True The aorta is the wall that separates the ventricles of the heart. False The most effective treatment for ventricular fibrillation is defibrillation. True An individual should be cleared-Ñ prior to a shock only when convenient. False PEA and asystole are considered non-shockable rhythms and follow the ...

What is the priority intervention for a patient with a narrow-complex tachycardia (160 BPM) and a blood pressure of 72/48 mmHg? A. Perform immediate synchronized cardio version B. Administer amiodarone, 150 mg IV over 10 minutes C. Perform carotid massage D. Administer adenosine, 6 mg via rapid IV push A. Perform immediate synchronized cardio version Recommended for a aptient with signs of hemodynamic compromise and a superventricualr tachycardia. A vagal maneuver, such as carotid ma...
