A patient's ECG reveals a narrow Vagal maneuvers
QRS complex with a regular rhythm,
indicating a narrow-complex If ineffective, adenosine is given.
supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.
The patient is not showing signs of
hemodynamic compromise. Which
intervention would be initiated first
if it does not delay other
interventions?
The ECG rhythm strip of a patient Medications associated with causing sinus
who arrived in the emergency bradycardia include β-blockers (such as
department complaining of metoprolol), calcium channel blockers (such as
dizziness, syncope and shortness of verapamil) and digoxin.
breath reveals sinus bradycardia.
When reviewing the patient's
medication history, the healthcare
provider identifies which agent(s) as
a potential cause of the patient's
current condition?
,A patient with suspected acute A patient with potential acute coronary
coronary syndromes (ACS) has a syndromes (ACS) and an oxygen saturation of
pulse oximetry reading of 86% and less than 90% should have oxygen administered
is given supplemental oxygen. The to maintain an SaO2 greater than 90% and less
provider determines that the than or equal to 99%.
supplemental oxygen dose is
correct based on which SaO2
level?
A patient is in cardiac arrest. The Naloxone should be administered as soon as
underlying cause is thought to be possible but is not a priority over high-quality
opioid toxicity. Which statement CPR and AED use.
accurately describes the use of
naloxone for this patient? High-quality CPR and AED use are the priority
interventions for cardiac arrest caused by
suspected or known opioid toxicity. When opioid
toxicity is the suspected or known cause of
cardiac arrest, naloxone should be administered
as soon as possible without disrupting or
delaying high-quality CPR and AED use. The
recommended dose of naloxone is 0.4 to 2 mg
IV/IO/IM/IN/SC, repeated every 2 to 3 minutes
as needed. A continuous naloxone infusion may
be considered if there is the potential for
recurrence of respiratory depression (for
example, if the cause of the opioid toxicity was
an extended-release or long-acting opioid) but is
not indicated in the immediate treatment of
suspected or known opioid toxicity.
, A 30-year-old patient has been Electrocution
brought to the emergency
department in cardiac arrest. The The rhythm is ventricular fibrillation. Precipitating
cardiac monitor shows the causes of ventricular fibrillation include
following rhythm. Interpretation of electrocution, myocardial ischemia or infarction,
this rhythm would suggest which of shock, stimulant overdose and ventricular
the following as a possible tachycardia.
precipitating factor?

A 28-year-old pregnant patient who Point-of-care ultrasound
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?
