CCI CRAT EXAM PRACTICE TEST 3 WITH VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
FOR EXAM PREPARATIONS ALREADY GRADED A+
Of the following, which would not be indicative of ventricular fibrillation? - ANSWER- Waves
would be seen with every other complex
The following would be indicative of ventricular fibrillation:
No waves will be seen
The QRS will be more than 120ms
The rate will be 100-250
The patient will lose consciousness
If a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) comes from different foci, they are referred to as
which of the following? - ANSWER- Multifocal PVC's
If the PVC's come from different foci, they would be referred to as multifocal PVC's.If the PVC's
come from a common point or focus and appear the same shape, they would be considered
unifocal PVC's.

If they suspect the patient has premature ventricular contraction, which of the following would
the nurse look for on the ECG strip? - ANSWER- Irregular rhythm and premature QRS complexes
that are wide and uncommon
If they suspect the patient has premature ventricular contraction the nurse would look for an
irregular rhythm and premature QRS complexes that are wide and uncommon on the ECG strip.
This condition can also cause a loss of atrial kick and reduce ventricular filling time causing a
problem with cardiac output.
,Which of the following would be considered the approximate O2 saturation of the blood in the
right atrium? - ANSWER- 60-75%
The approximate O2 saturation of the blood in the right atrium would be 60-75%. This is
deoxygenated blood that returns to the heart from the body. It will have a high concentration
of C02.
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava and
empties into which of the following? - ANSWER- Right atrium
Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the inferior and superior vena cava and
empties into the right atrium. From the right atrium, the blood goes through the tricuspid valve
into the right ventricle.
The stretching of muscle fibers in the ventricles is known as which of the following? - ANSWER-
Preload
Preload is the stretching of muscle fibers in the ventricles and is ascertained by the pressure
and amount of blood unexpended in the left ventricle at the end of diastole. Afterload is the
amount of pressure the left ventricle must push against to pump blood into the circulation.
When the patient has no electrical activity in the heart and is unresponsive with no cardiac
output, the cardiac monitor would show which of the following? - ANSWER- Asystole
When the patient has no electrical activity in the heart and is unresponsive with no cardiac
output, it is called asystole. This condition normally results from a prolonged period of cardiac
arrest where there was not effective resuscitation.
Patients with idioventricular rhythms require which of the following? - ANSWER- Continuous
ECG monitoring
, Patients with idioventricular rhythms require continuous ECG monitoring and constant
assessment until their treatment restores hemodynamic stability. The patient should be on bed
rest with pacemaker equipment at the bedside with atropine readily available.
Patient demographic sheets include all of the following information except? - ANSWER- Patient
religious preference
Patient demographic sheet, also known as a face sheet, of a claim or charge for medical
services includes the following patient information:
Name
Sex
Date of birth
Address
Phone number
Account number
Employer contact
Health insurance
Emergency contact
Guarantor contact
Doctor contact
Complications from failure to capture could include all of the following except? - ANSWER- Liver
failure
Complications from failure to capture could include the following:Increased stimulation
threshold because of such things as medications and/or electrolyte imbalance.A fracture of the
pacing lead wire.Perforation of the myocardium by a lead wireDisplacement of a pacing lead
wire- (common cause)
