Describe treatment of dysrhythmias correct answer: To determine if treatment is necessary, assess the patient. Then ask the following questions: Is he or she experiencing signs and symptoms of decreased cardiac output? Is the dysrhythmia potentially life threatening? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, the patient will need to treatment for the dysrhythmia. ***WE WILL DISCUSS TREATMENTS OF DYSRHYTHMIAS BASED UPON CURRENT ACLS TREATMENT ALGORITHMS CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS ...

ECCO questions and answers rated A+ 2023 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 - correct answer Increase the mA A patient has a transvenous temporary pacemaker in place.

Scenario: A 38-year-old female is admitted to the emergency department after “feeling palpitations and almost fainting.” She states that this started a few hours ago and got progressively worse as she tried to get ready for work. The ECG reveals nonconducted P waves without progressive PR intervals. On conducted beats, the PR interval is constant, with a ratio of 3:1 (three P waves to one conducted QRS interval). The ventricular rate ranges from 50 to 60. The PR interval is slightly prolong...
