Which statement correctly describes the progression of
first degree to third degree atrioventricular (AV) block? -
ANSWER-Progress does not occur linearly.
Tachycardias can be further distinguished based on which
ECG characteristic? - ANSWER-The width of the QRS
complex
The healthcare provider is caring for a patient with
bradycardia with inadequate perfusion. While providing
BVM ventilations with O2, the heart rate decreases to 51
bpm. Which is the priority action the provider should
implement? - ANSWER-Initiate CPR.
The pediatric charge nurse is training a newly hired RN.
The charge nurse notes that the new hire documents a 10-
year-old patient's heart rate is "within normal limits for

When reviewing the data of a pediatric patient, the
healthcare provider notes the child has a history of
second-degree AV block, type I. The provider understands
this is which type of arrhythmia? - ANSWER-
Bradyarrhythmia
Which ECG rhythm is identified in the following image?
(40) - ANSWER-Sinus bradycardia
A child is brought to the emergency department by the
parents with complaints of a rapid heart rate and sweating.
Cardiac monitoring and 12-lead ECG reveal the following
rhythm. Vagal maneuvers and administration of adenosine
have been unsuccessful and the child is now displaying
signs of inadequate perfusion. Which intervention should
be performed next? - ANSWER-Synchronized electrical
cardioversion
Arrhythmias with a pulse can be further characterized by
whether perfusion is adversely affected or not. True or
False? - ANSWER-True
A newly admitted patient's ECG reveals a wide-complex
tachycardia and the patient has adequate perfusion.
Which initial pharmacologic intervention could be

considered for this arrhythmia if the rhythm is regular and
QRS monomorphic? - ANSWER-Adenosine
The healthcare provider understands that which rhythm is
the most common symptomatic arrhythmia in children? -
ANSWER-Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
What is the cardiac rhythm showing on the monitor? (A 3-
year-old boy waiting in the emergency department (ED) to
be seen for a respiratory illness suddenly becomes
unresponsive.) - ANSWER-sinus bradycardia
What care measure would be appropriate for Dr. Foley
and the team to consider at this time? - ANSWER-
Continue vasopressors already initiated and titrate to
address perfusion.
The healthcare provider identifies that a pediatric patient is
experiencing tachycardia with inadequate perfusion and
12-lead ECG reveals wide QRS complex ventricular
tachycardia. What is the first action the provider should
implement? - ANSWER-Synchronized electrical
cardioversion
