Respuesta
S1
S4

Pregunta 6
Pregunta
All of the following cause splits except:
Respuesta
Bundle branch block
Ventral septal defect
Irritable foci
Valve dysfunction or blood flow alterations
Pregunta 7
Pregunta
You are listening to a 6 y/o female heart beat and notice the rate increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration. She has no other s/s. What do you do?
Respuesta
Nothing, this can be a normal finding for this age
Administer nitroglycerin tablets to the patient
Immediately transport the patient to the ER
Stop treatment and reschedule for another day
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
A patient’s ECG shows a PR interval < 0.12 and a regular QRS rate > 100. The patient presents with a rapid and regular pulse and decreased cardiac output. This patient has what type of arrhythmia?
Respuesta
Wandering atrial pacemaker
Atrial premature beat
Atrial tachycardia
Atrial flutter
Pregunta 9
Pregunta
Individuals with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke because:
Respuesta
There is less blood supply to the brain
The heart is weaker
The vibrations inhibit vitamin K binding for the coagulation cascade
There is less atrial kick leading to blood being left behind in the atria to form a clot
Pregunta 10
Pregunta
Find the true statement:
Respuesta
Multifocal premature ventricular contractions look the same as bigeminy and come from the same spot
Ventricular premature contraction (> 3 in a row), ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole
Pregunta 13
Pregunta
Fixed P-R interval with a dropped QRS every third beat, may drop several QRS waves in a row, typically fixed with a pacemaker. Identify the arrhythmia:
Respuesta
1st degree AV block
2nd degree AV block type 2
2nd degree AV block type 1
Sinus block (aka “skipped beat”)
Pregunta 14
Pregunta
ECG presents as regular P and QRS waves that appear out of sync with each other. s/s include slow HR (< 60 bpm), drop in CO, and possible ventricular fibrillation. What arrhythmia may proceed this type of block?
Respuesta
2nd degree AV block type 2
2nd degree AV block type 1
1st degree AV block
Left bundle branch block
Pregunta 15
Pregunta
You are seeing a 65 y/o male. Upon reading the ECG you notice he has a widened Q wave and an elevated ST wave on leads V1 and V2. What do you do?
Respuesta
Ask the patient if he has had any ischemic heart attacks recently
Do not perform treatment and reschedule for another day
Do nothing and treat him like any other patient
Verify with nursing or the doctor to see if they are aware that this patient has had an MI
