Critical Care Nursing
Your patient’s ECG shows depression S-T in leads V1–V2 and ST elevation in
Leads II, III, and AVF. You realize that this indicates: Acute inferior infarction.
Acute Anterior infarction Acute Lateral infarction
Acute inferior-Posterior infarction
The above ECG changes can be found if there is an occlusion of the:
RCA
LAD circumflex all of the above.
the most complications associated with this problem is ventricular dysrhythmias.
AV block. atrial flutter. hemodynamic changes and dysrhythmia caused by SA node & AV node.
Identify the Rhythm in the below figure
Unifocal Bigeminy. Multifocal trigeminy Unifocal Trigeminy Multifocal PVCs.
The nurse would be most concerned about premature ventricular contractions that: fall on a T wave occur at a rate of 4 per minute are uniform in appearance occur with angina
A client with coronary artery disease reports intermittent chest pain that occurs with exertion. The physician prescribes sublingual nitroglycerine, when teaching the client about nitroglycerine administration the nurse should include which instruction: be careful after taking nitroglycerine because it may cause dizziness. make sure you replace your nitroglycerine tablets every 6 months to ensure potency. when you experience chest pain take one tablet every 30 minutes until pain is relieved. a burning sensation before taking nitroglycerine indicates medication potency.
Mr.Ali has an ICD implanted in the left lower quadrant of his abdomen. When obtaining his history, you find out that the patient also had CABG surgery at the time of ICD lead implant. You do not see any incision lines at the subclavicular area. What kind of leads does Mr. Ali have?
Transvenous sensing with “hot can”
Transvenous sensing and epicardial patches Epicardial patches and myocardial sensing leads Abdominal patches and transvenous sensing
The P wave in junctional rhythm is absent because the
Leads II, III, and AVF. You realize that this indicates: Acute inferior infarction.

Acute inferior-Posterior infarction
