A patient is in cardiac arrest. The cardiac monitor shows asystole. In addition
to providing continuous high-quality CPR, what is the other priority
intervention for this patient? - ANSWER -Administering epinephrine as early
as possible
A patient has experienced return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after
cardiac arrest. The healthcare team is conducting a secondary assessment to
determine the possible cause of the patient's cardiac arrest. Before the
arrest, the patient exhibited jugular venous distension, cyanosis, apnea and
hyperresonance on percussion. The patient was also difficult to ventilate
during the response. The team would most likely suspect which condition as
the cause? - ANSWER -Tension Pneumothorax
A patient with suspected stroke arrives at the emergency department. The
patient is diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and is a candidate for
fibrinolytic therapy. To achieve the best outcomes, this therapy should be

A patient in the telemetry unit is receiving continuous cardiac monitoring.
The patient has a history of myocardial infarction. The patient's ECG rhythm
strip is shown in the following figure. The provider interprets this strip as
indicating which arrhythmia? - ANSWER -Third-degree AV block
A 28-year-old pregnant patient who resides in transitional housing presents
to the emergency department with complaints of feeling feverish and very
faint. The patient tells the emergency nurse that she does not know when
she became pregnant. Upon palpation, the fundus is not at or above the
umbilicus. The patient's condition quickly deteriorates and she goes into
cardiac arrest. If available and able to be used without impeding or delaying
the resuscitation effort, what diagnostic tool could be used to guide
decision-making in the care of this patient? - ANSWER -Point-of-care
ultrasound
Cardiac monitoring indicates that a patient has a ventricular
tachyarrhythmia. The patient has a pulse and is not showing any signs of
hemodynamic compromise. A 12-lead ECG reveals an irregular rhythm with
QRS complexes greater than 0.12 second in duration. Which action would be
appropriate at this time? - ANSWER -Consider an antiarrhythmic medication
