QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS!!
Of the following, which would not be indicative of ventricular fibrillation? correct answers
Waves would be seen with every other complex
The following would be indicative of ventricular fibrillation:
No waves will be seen
The QRS will be more than 120ms
The rate will be 100-250
The patient will lose consciousness
If a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) comes from different foci, they are referred to as
which of the following? correct answers Multifocal PVC's
If the PVC's come from different foci, they would be referred to as multifocal PVC's.If the
PVC's come from a common point or focus and appear the same shape, they would be
considered unifocal PVC's.

If they suspect the patient has premature ventricular contraction, which of the following
would the nurse look for on the ECG strip? correct answers Irregular rhythm and premature
QRS complexes that are wide and uncommon
If they suspect the patient has premature ventricular contraction the nurse would look for an
irregular rhythm and premature QRS complexes that are wide and uncommon on the ECG
strip. This condition can also cause a loss of atrial kick and reduce ventricular filling time
causing a problem with cardiac output.
Which of the following would be considered the approximate O2 saturation of the blood in
the right atrium? correct answers 60-75%
The approximate O2 saturation of the blood in the right atrium would be 60-75%. This is
deoxygenated blood that returns to the heart from the body. It will have a high concentration
of C02.
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava and
empties into which of the following? correct answers Right atrium
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava and
empties into the right atrium. From the right atrium, the blood goes through the tricuspid
valve into the right ventricle.
The stretching of muscle fibers in the ventricles is known as which of the following? correct
answers Preload
Preload is the stretching of muscle fibers in the ventricles and is ascertained by the pressure
and amount of blood unexpended in the left ventricle at the end of diastole. Afterload is the
amount of pressure the left ventricle must push against to pump blood into the circulation.
, When the patient has no electrical activity in the heart and is unresponsive with no cardiac
output, the cardiac monitor would show which of the following? correct answers Asystole
When the patient has no electrical activity in the heart and is unresponsive with no cardiac
output, it is called asystole. This condition normally results from a prolonged period of
cardiac arrest where there was not effective resuscitation.
Patients with idioventricular rhythms require which of the following? correct answers
Continuous ECG monitoring
Patients with idioventricular rhythms require continuous ECG monitoring and constant
assessment until their treatment restores hemodynamic stability. The patient should be on bed
rest with pacemaker equipment at the bedside with atropine readily available.
Patient demographic sheets include all of the following information except? correct answers
Patient religious preference
Patient demographic sheet, also known as a face sheet, of a claim or charge for medical
services includes the following patient information:
Name
Sex
Date of birth
Address
Phone number
Account number
Employer contact
Health insurance
Emergency contact
Guarantor contact
Doctor contact
Complications from failure to capture could include all of the following except? correct
answers Liver failure
Complications from failure to capture could include the following:Increased stimulation
threshold because of such things as medications and/or electrolyte imbalance.A fracture of
the pacing lead wire.Perforation of the myocardium by a lead wireDisplacement of a pacing
lead wire- (common cause)
Of the following, which would not be considered a patient identifier that could be used in the
healthcare setting? correct answers Speak the patient's name and wait and see if they respond.
Always follow the policies and procedure of the facility when identifying a patient.
Most facilities require at least 2 forms of patient identification.
Some of the patient identifiers could include:
Ask the patient their full name
Check the patient's arm band
Check/ask the patient's birth date
The aortic valve permits blood to flow into which of the following? correct answers Aorta
