BKAT ICU POST TEST
This medication is a cardiac glycoside that increases
contractility.
Answer- Digoxin
Digoxin increases contractility by
Answer- slowing the heart rate which decreases conduction
through the AV node
What should be monitored in patients taking Digoxin?
Answer- hypotension, bradycardia, and symptoms of toxicity
Signs/Symptoms of Digoxin toxicity
Answer-nausea, yellow vision/halo, paroxysmal atrial
tachycardia (PAT with block).
,True/False:
Digoxin WILL NOT cause rapid AV conduction or hypertension
Answer- True
what medication is an antiarrhythmic that suppresses
automaticity and depolarization?
Answer- lidocaine
Lidocaine is used to treat?
Answer- ventricular dysrhythmias
lidocaine toxicity sign
answer- mental confusion/change in LOC
Monitor serum levels with _________
Answer- Lidocaine
,DO NOT give _______ medications to patients with suppressed
respirations
Answer- Narcotics (morphine, deluded)
What changes on a EKG would you expect to see on a patient
with an acute MI?
Answer- ST elevation
normal QRS:
Prolonged QRS indicates:
<0.12 seconds is normal QRS
prolonged QRS indicates intraventricular conduction defect,
typically a bundle branch block
Distinguishing V-fib
fibrillary waves with no recognizable pattern
DE fib the Fib
, Distinguishing V-Tach
atrial rhythm and rate cannot be identified
"Tombstones"
First degree block interpretation
Answer- looks like sinus rhythm but the PR is longer than
normal. there will be 1 p for every qtrs., but the PR interval will
be greater than 0.20 sec
Type 1 second degree block interpretation
"Wenckebach"
"Longer, Longer... drop" prolonged PR intervals and the missing
QRS
Type 2 second degree block interpretation
PR interval is constant...QRS is missing
"2 small p waves right after each other"
