300+ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Which intervention is used to treat a patient with ventricular fibrillation who has an
implantable cardiac defibrillator? - ANSWER: Apply hands-free adhesive patches in
the anterior-posterior position and defibrillate.
Which dysrhythmia has an irregularly irregular ventricular response - ANSWER: Atrial
fibrillation
Which medication should be administered during the resuscitation of a patient with
ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWER: Epinephrine (Adrenalin)
Which disorder is likely to produce a delta wave on the cardiac monitor? - ANSWER:
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
A preexcitation syndrome, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, results from
which conduction pattern? - ANSWER: Atrial impulses bypass the typical electrical
pathway and activate the ventricular myocardium directly.
A patient has stable, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. To perform synchronized
cardioversion with a biphasic defibrillator and convert this dysrhythmia, which
energy setting should be used first? - ANSWER: 100 joules
Which disorder can initiate atrial flutter? - ANSWER: Pulmonary embolism
Which disorder is potentially reversible if the cause is immediately treated? -
ANSWER: Pulseless electrical activity
Which drug may be used to convert new-onset atrial fibrillation? - ANSWER:
Amiodarone (Cordarone)
An unstable patient with polymorphic ventricular tachycardia requires which
electrical treatment with a biphasic defibrillator? - ANSWER: Defibrillation at 200
joules
In the PAAS mnemonic for performing automated external defibrillation, what does
the P stand for? - ANSWER: Power Pulse
Which dysrhythmia results from the continuous stimulation of two conduction
pathways in the atrioventricular node? - ANSWER: Atrial fibrillation
In which dysrhythmia does an impulse originate in the atrioventricular junction
before the next expected sinus impulse? - ANSWER: Premature junctional complex
