Excitability - Answer- the ability of non-pacemaker heart cells to respond to an electrical impulse that begins in pacemaker cells. Depolarization - Answer- occurs when the normally negatively charged cells within the heart muscle develop a positive charge. Conductivity - Answer- the ability to send an electrical stimulus from cell membrane to cell membrane. As a result, excitable cells depolarize in rapid succession from cell to cell until all cells have depolarized. Ex: the wave of depol...

HEALTHSTREAM TELEMETRY & ECG EXAM 2023/2024 Mechanical & Electrical Activity - CORRECT ANSWER-- Correlation between the electrical and mechanical functions of the heart - Electrical activity stimulates the heart to contract - Electrocardiogram (ECG) show both functions - Electrical pulse= action potntial Cardiac Monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER-- Used to diagnose dysrhythmias, chamber enlargement, MI/myocardial ischemia, monitor effects of electrolyte imbalances of medication administrat...

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 ...

What period follows depolarization of the myocardium and represents a period during which no new cardiac potential can be propagated? Correct! Refractory Threshold Sinoatrial (SA) Hyperpolarization During the refractory period, no new cardiac action potential can be initiated by a stimulus. This selection is the only option that accurately identifies the period described in the question. Question 2 2 / 2 pts What is the suggested mean blood pressure for an 8- to 9-year-old ch...

1. A client with asthma receives a prescription for high blood pressure during a clinic visit. Which prescription should the nurse anticipate the client to receive that is least likely to exacerbate asthma? A. Carteolol (Ocupress). B. Propranolol hydrochloride (Inderal). C. Pindolol (Visken). Incorrect D. Metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor). Correct The best antihypertensive agent for clients with asthma is metoprolol (Lopressor) (C), a beta2 blocking agent which is also cardiosel...

Nitroprusside purpose decreases preload and afterload by vasodilation (mainly afterload) Dobutamine mechanism of action contractility Dopamine at a low-end dose "renal dose" 0.5-4mcg/kg/min increases renal and mesentric perfusion Dopamine at a mid-range dose 4-10mcg/kg/min increases contractility and heart rate Dopamine at a high-range dose greater than 10mcg/kg/min vasoconstriction and increases BP Dopamine and Levophed infiltration leads to tissue ...
