What characteristics describe the V-tach
a. Regular atrial rhythm
b. QRS complex >0.12 seconds
c. Irregular ventricular rhythm
d. Regular ventricular rhythm
e. Ventricular rate >100 bpm
f. Atrial rate >80 bpm - ANSWER-b. QRS complex >0.12
seconds
d. Regular ventricular rhythm
e. Ventricular rate >100 bpm
,TRUE or FALSE: Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) is a lethal
rhythm that results in the quivering of the ventricles which
leads to a rapid fall in cardiac output.
a. True
b. False - ANSWER-a. True
A client is having frequent premature ventricular
contractions. The nurse would place priority on
assessment of which information?
a. Causative factors, such as caffeine
b. Sensation of fluttering or palpitations
c. Blood pressure and oxygen saturation
,d. Precipitating factors, such as infection - ANSWER-c.
Blood pressure and oxygen saturation
R: Premature ventricular contractions can cause
hemodynamic compromise. Therefore, the priority is to
monitor the blood pressure and oxygen saturation. The
shortened ventricular filling time can lead to decreased
cardiac output. The client may be asymptomatic or may
feel palpitations. Premature ventricular contractions can
be caused by cardiac disorders; states of hypoxemia; any
number of physiological stressors, such as infection,
illness, surgery, or trauma; and intake of caffeine, nicotine,
or alcohol.
, Which statement below is FALSE regarding Normal Sinus
Rhythm?
a. The QRS complex should measure <0.12 seconds.
b. The atrial rate should be 60-100 bpm.
c. The ventricular rate should be 40-60 bpm.
d. A p wave should accompany every QRS complex. -
ANSWER-c. The ventricular rate should be 40-60 bpm.
R: This statement is FALSE because the ventricular rate
should be 60-100 bpm.
TRUE or FALSE: Both the atrial and ventricular rate is the
same for Normal Sinus Rhythm.
