The first-line treatment for a patient with ventricular tachycardia with a pulse is:*1 pointa) Defibrillationb) Administering amiodaronec) Cardiac catheterizationd) Administering atropine

Which medication is commonly used to treat symptomatic bradycardia?*1 pointa) Epinephrineb) Atropinec) Amiodaroned) Lidocaine

The charge nurse has a Vigileo pulse contour cardiac output monitoring system available for use in the surgical intensive care unit. For which patient is use of this device most appropriate?Not quite, you're still learning!A patient with a history of aortic insufficiency admitted with a postoperative myocardial infarctionA mechanically ventilated patient with cardiogenic shock being treated with an intraaortic balloon pumpA patient with a history of atrial fibrillation having frequent episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardiaA mechanically ventilated patient admitted following repair of an acute bowel obstruction

A patient becomes unresponsive. You are uncertain if a faint pulse is present. The rhythm shown here is seen on the cardiac monitor. An IV is in place. Which action do you take nextQuestion 29Answera.Administer epinephrine 1 mg IVb.Administer atropine 1 mgc.Start high-quality CPRd.Begin transcutaneous pacing

48. Which statement about tachycardia is NOT correct?  A heart rate of 175 bpm is within normal range for a child up to two A normal heart rate for an infant may be twice as fast as normal heart rate for an older child.  Sinus tachycardia IS commonly a dangerous rhythm that can quickly deteriorate to cardiac arrest. Tachycardia may be a normal, non-dangerous. heart rate in response to stress Ie anxiety.49. What is the primary therapy for hypovolemic shock?Fluid resuscitationCorrection of metabolic derangementsVasopressorsAntibiotics50. Pulse oximetry is monitored during post-resuscitation care to:Monitor hypoglycemia Optimize Ventilation and circulation Stabilize Blood pressure Monitor hypovolemia

40. The purpose of defibrillation is to:Provide electrically stimulated contraction of the heartRecharge the heartTreat symptomatic bradycardiaReset the electrical systems of the heart allowing a normal rhythm a chance to return41. Stridor is a sign of:Pulmonary edemaPneumoniaBronchoconstrictionUpper airway obstruction42. Which conditions do NOT typically produce tachycardia?Mobitz type I blockFeverMetabolic stressAcute blood loss43. Cardiac arrest in pediatrics is most commonly caused byRespiratory problemsExercisePoor dietInjury
