What does A Fib ECG look like? -impulse rate of 350-600 times per minute
-no P waves
-no atrial contractions
-loss of atrial kick
-irregular ventricular response
How often do you assess vital signs at least every 4 hours
on a patient with a dysrhythmia
(gray box)
Nursing Safety Priority for Sinus -fatigue, weakness, SOB, orthopnea, decreased
tachycardia what to assess O2, increased HR, decreased BP, angina,
(gray box) palpitations
-ECG: T wave inversion or ST
elevation/depression
-decreased cerebral perfusion may occur.
Symptoms: restlessness and anxiety
-impaired renal function may occur symptoms:
decreased urine output.
,The nurse is assessing the client's C
cardiac rhythm and notes the
following: HR 64, regular rhythm,
PR interval 0.20; QRS 0.10. How will
the nurse document this rhythm
interpretation in the electronic
health record?
A. Sinus tachycardia
B. Sinus bradycardia
C. Normal sinus rhythm
D. Sinus arrhythmia
NURSING SAFETY PRIORITY -Avoid strong electromagnetic fields (magnets
patient education with permanent and telecommunication transmitters)
pacemakers include -carry pacemaker identification card
-medical alert bracelet
A fib may lead to -DVT or PE due to blood pooling
-HF
A fib signs and symptoms -symptoms depend on ventricular rate*
-some patients are asymptomatic*
irregular pulse, poor perfusion, fatigue,
weakness, SOB, dizziness, anxiety, syncope,
palpitations, chest pain/discomfort, and
hypotension
Nursing intervention for a PE -stay with patient
-monitor for SOB, chest pain, and hypotension
-initiate a rapid
-notify the provider
T/F patients on anticoagulation T
should report bleeding gums to
their provider immediately
, NURSING SAFETY PRIORITY Oxygen
before a cardioversion what needs
to be turned off and removed from
patient
what does the nurse assess for in a Angina, hypotension, HF, decreased cerebral
patient with a dysrthymia? profusion, and decreased renal profusion.
How to decrease/prevent -avoid vagus nerve stimulation
dysthymias -take medications
-stop smoking
-avoid caffeine
-alcohol in moderation
-manage stress
The nurse is caring for client who is D
experiencing occasional premature
ventricular contractions. What
assessment data are most
concerning to the nurse?
A. Potassium 4.8 mEq/L
B. Magnesium 2 mEq/L
C. Heart rate 90
D. History of smoking
Nursing Safety Priority 1. administer O2 and confirm with 12 lead ECG
1. V tach stable nursing intervention: (possible amiodarone/lidocaine administration)
2. V tach unstable nursing 2. may case cardiac arrest, assess ABCs, LOC,
intervention: and O2
T/F ventricular asystole is shockable FALSE
rythm. no electrical impulses are present to disrupt
T/F True
V tach and V fib are shockable disrupt chaotic rhythm allowing SA node signals
rhythms. to restart
