When a patient is experiencing PVC’s the provider should be

notified for which of the following: (Select all that apply)

Select all that apply

-PVC’s that fall to close to the Telemetry alarms:

Can be set based on your patient's condition and heart rate Should never be turned off and must always be audible Should be reviewed at the beginning and end of each shift and whenever an alarm occurs Should be responded to by both RNs and LPNs. RNs, however, are responsible for adjusting, reviewing alarms and determining changes to plan of care as needed.All of the above All of the above

ST segment elevation indicates: (Select all that apply)

-Everything is perfusing normally within the heart and not a cause for alarm -Needs prompt nursing and medical intervention 1 / 3

-Indicates myocardial ischemia is occurring -Needs prompt nursing and medical intervention -Indicates myocardial ischemia is occurring

Which class of drugs can be used to manipulate the effects of the sympathetic nervous system?Betablockers, Calcium Channel blockers Lidocaine Vasopressors such as Epinephrine None of the above Betablockers, Calcium Channel blockers

Tall, tented or peaked T-waves may indicate which of the

following electrolytes is high:

Potassium

Identify the rhythm.Second degree AV heart Block, Type 1/Mobitz I/Wenkebach

Identify the rhythm.normal sinus rhythm 2 / 3

This 80 year old female was admitted to the telemetry unit with complaints of intermittent palpitations. Her vitals were 120/80, HR 90, R 18, SAO2 98% RA. Identify the rhythm below given the tele

Atrial Fibrillation

Which statement below best describes what is happening with impulse conduction when the Second degree AV heart Block,

Type 1/Mobitz I/Wenkebach dysrhythmia is occurring:

-Every impulse is being initiated from the SA node and following normal conduction pathways to cause ventricular depolarization and contraction.-Every impulse is being initiated by the SA node, but the AV node is consistently holding the impulse longer than it should, but every impulse follows normal conduction pathways to cause ventricular depolarization and contraction.-Every impulse is being initiated by the SA node, but the AV node holds each impulse progressively longer until it completely blocks an impulse from reaching the ventricles.The impulses that get through the AV node follow normal conduction pathways to cause ventricular depolarization and contraction.-The atria and ventricles are working independently of each other. Every impulse
