Ventricular Tachycardia Correct ans - A patient is being treated in the
emergency department and is determined to have NSTE-ACS. Invasive
management is planned based on which finding?
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Ventricular Fibrillation
- Atrial Tachycardia
On the lower RIGHT abdomen Correct ans - A healthcare provider is
establishing cardiac monitoring using a five-electrode system. The
healthcare provider demonstrates proper use of the system by placing the
green electrode in which location?
- Under the left clavicle at the midclavicular line
- At the 4th intercostal space, right sternal border
- On the lower right abdomen
- On the lower left abdomen
Atrial Fibrillation Correct ans - The stroke team is assessing a patient
with a suspected stroke. The patient is alert and able to carry on a
conversation, although the patient has difficulty getting the words out.
Testing confirms that the patient has had an ischemic stroke. Based on the
patient's medical history, a history of which arrhythmia would alert the team
to the patient's increased risk for stroke?
- Atrial tachycardia
- Atrial fibrillation
- Ventricular fibrillation
- Bradycardia
Pneumothorax Correct ans - A patient experiences cardiac arrest, and
the resuscitation team initiates ventilations using a bag-valve-mask (BVM)
resuscitator. The development of which condition during the provision of care
would lead the team to suspect that improper BVM technique is being used?
- Hypertension
- Pneumothorax
- Rib Fracture
- Esophageal Injury
Unstable Angina Correct ans - A patient presents to the emergency
department with mild to moderate recurrent chest pain, without any nausea
or vomiting. A 12-lead ECG is obtained and shows ST-segment depression
with transient T-wave elevation indicative of NSTE-ACS. Cardiac enzyme
levels are obtained and are not elevated. These findings suggest which
condition?
