________________ is a complication in which the pacemaker does not send
electrical impulse to the myocardium. In this complication pacemaker intervals
are irregular and the impulse is slower than the set rate. There is no pacemaker
spike seen. - CORRECT ANSWERS Malfunctioning

Premature atrial contractions are rarely dangerous but in a patient with which of
the following conditions, they can serve as an early sign of heart failure or
electrolyte imbalance?
Nonconductor premature atrial contractions
Hypoxia
Acute myocardial infarction
Pulmonary disease - CORRECT ANSWERS Acute myocardial infarction
Patients with an __________ ___________ ____________, premature atrial
contractions can serve as an early sign of heart failure or an electrolyte
imbalance. Premature atrial contractions in patient's with heart disease can lead
to serious arrhythmias such as atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. - CORRECT
ANSWERS Acute myocardial infarction
Which of the following does the CDC recommend that healthcare workers not
have?
Long hair
Short nails
Artificial nails
All of the above - CORRECT ANSWERS Artificial nails
The CDC recommends that healthcare providers not have _____________
________ as they are more apt to harbor gram-negative pathogens than natural
nails, both before and after proper hand washing techniques. The CDC
recommends that natural nails be no longer than 1/4 inch long as they can
harbor pathogens at longer lengths. - CORRECT ANSWERS Artificial
nails
