Resource summary

Question 1

Question
Stop exercise immediately with all of the following except:
Answer
  • Ventricular tachycardia
  • Second degree AV block Type 2
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Ventricular fibrillation

Question 2

Question
Primary blood supply to the AV node and SA node:
Answer
  • Right coronary artery
  • Left coronary artery
  • Circumflex artery
  • Left anterior descending artery

Question 3

Question
All the following are correct inherent beats except:
Answer
  • SA node at 100-110 bpm
  • SA node at 60-80 bpm
  • AV node at 40-60 bpm
  • Bundle of His at 20-40 bpm

Question 4

Question
What is the correct order in which heart sounds are heard?
Answer
  • S1, S2, S3, S4
  • S4, S1, S2, S3
  • S1, S4, S2, S3
  • S3, S1, S2, S4

Question 5

Question
Which heart sound may disappear when a patient sits up or stands and is considered abnormal in adults over 40 y/o?
Answer
  • S1
  • S4
  • S3
  • S2

Question 6

Question
All of the following cause splits except:
Answer
  • Bundle branch block
  • Ventral septal defect
  • Irritable foci
  • Valve dysfunction or blood flow alterations

Question 7

Question
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?
Answer
  • 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

Question 8

Question
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?
Answer
  • Wandering atrial pacemaker
  • Atrial premature beat
  • Atrial tachycardia
  • Atrial flutter

Question 9

Question
Individuals with atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke because:
Answer
  • 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

Question 10

Question
Find the true statement:
Answer
  • Multifocal premature ventricular contractions look the same as bigeminy and come from the same spot
  • Ventricular premature contractions always require treatment
  • Patients with a ventricular premature contraction may have a pause in pulse followed by a strong beat or may complain of palpitations or skipped beats
  • Ventricular premature contractions more than 6 per minute or more than 3 in a row are no cause for concern

Question 11

Question
A patient in the hospital complains of heart palpitations, dyspnea, dizziness, and appears anxious and is sweating. This patient is experiencing:
Answer
  • Ventricular premature contraction
  • Ventricular tachycardia
  • Ventricular fibrillation
  • asystole

Question 12

Question
What is the correct order of progression?
Answer
  • Ventricular premature contraction (> 3 in a row), ventricular fibrillation, asystole, ventricular tachycardia
  • Ventricular tachycardia, quadrigeminy, ventricular fibrillation, asystole
  • Bigeminy, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, asystole
  • Ventricular premature contraction (> 3 in a row), ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole

Question 13

Question
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:
Answer
  • 1st degree AV block
  • 2nd degree AV block type 2
  • 2nd degree AV block type 1
  • Sinus block (aka “skipped beat”)

Question 14

Question
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?
Answer
  • 2nd degree AV block type 2
  • 2nd degree AV block type 1
  • 1st degree AV block
  • Left bundle branch block

Question 15

Question
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?
Answer
  • 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
