Report
1) The nurse is caring for an older adult patient with heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. The patient’s blood pressure is 88/56 and with a heart rate of 156 beats per minute. The nurse contacts the health care provider to prescribe medication to slow down the patient’s heart rate. Why is this important? With an increased heart rate, there is less time available for the heart to contract and fill with blood. This in turn lowers cardiac output and affects the ability of the cardiac output to meet the demands of the body. 2) The nurse is caring for an 88-year-old man who is currently in cardiac arrest. A Code Blue has been called and staff is performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). When the nurse checks for a pulse, which two areas of the body would be most appropriate if resuscitative measures are successful? Femoral pulse Carotid pulse
