1. Lidocaine is a medication frequently ordered for the client exṕeriencing:
A. Atrial tachycardia
B. Ventricular tachycardia
C. Heart block
D. Ventricular bradycardia
Exṕlanation: Answer B is correct. Lidocaine is used to treat ventricular tachycardia.
This medication slowly exerts an antiarrhythmic effect by increasing the electric
stimulation threshold of the ventricles without deṕressing the force of ventricular
contractions. It is not used for atrial arrhythmias; thus, answer A is incorrect. Answers
C and D are incorrect because it slows the heart rate, so it is not used for heart block or
bradycardia.
