Junctional rhythm - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

A patient has a transcutaneous pacemaker. Which action should the nurse implement when a pacemaker spike occurs but is not followed by ventricular complex? Assess the heart rate Increase the mA Increase the mV Assess the ECG lead placement - Increase the mA A patient has a transvenous temporary pacemaker in place. Pacemaker spikes are noted on the ECG, but they are not followed by a P wave or QRS complex. Which is initially indicated? Reposition patient on the right side Increase the se...
