a.Ventricular fibrillation
b.Third-degree AV block
c. Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation
d. Ventricular tachycardia with a pulse
Give this one a go later!

A patient is receiving oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask. What priority
nursing assessment should the nurse perform?
a.Check that the oxygen flow meter is set at 2 L/min.
b. Check that the straps securing the mask are not causing skin
ulcers over the top of the ears.
c. Ensure that the bag attached to the mask is inflated at all times.
d. Be sure the mask is connected to a heating element.
Give this one a go later!
c. Perform a thorough respiratory assessment and attach pulse oximetry.
Assessment would be the first priority as well as to determine if 15L/min is enough
oxygen for this patient. O2 saturation would be a good indicator to determine next
steps.
c. Ensure that the bag attached to the mask is inflated at all
times A nonrebreather mask is used to deliver high flow rates
and high
concentration of oxygen. The nurse should ensure that the bag attached to
the mask is inflated at all times. The bag should not deflate since then the
patient is likely to breathe in large amounts of exhaled carbon dioxide.
a. Allergy to shellfish
Because iodine-based contrast media is used during a spiral CT, the patient may
,need to have the CT scan without contrast or be premedicated before injection of
, the contrast media. The increased pulse, low oxygen saturation, and tachypnea all
indicate a need for further assessment or intervention but do not indicate a need to
modify the CT procedure
c.Assess the ability to swallow before using the fenestrated tube
Because the cuff is deflated when using a fenestrated tube, the patient's risk for
aspiration should be assessed before changing to a fenestrated tracheostomy tube.
The decannulation cap is never inserted before cuff deflation because to do so
would obstruct the patient's airway. The cuff is deflated and the inner cannula
removed to allow air to flow across the patient's vocal cords when using a
fenestrated tube.

pneumonia. Which laboratory value does the nurse expect for this
patient?

b.Decreased neutrophils.
c. Decreased hemoglobin.
d. Increased red blood cells.
