COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS ANSWERS
◉ If a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) comes from different
foci, they are referred to as which of the following? Answer:
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?
Answer: 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? Answer: 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? Answer:
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? Answer: 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? Answer: 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? Answer: 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? Answer: 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
