A 67-year-old-man is in the operating room undergoing a hip replacement. Theprocedure is going along uneventfully, and there is no indication of acute blood loss.Suddenly, the patient develops supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous injection isadministered and within 15 s, the electrocardiogram shows normal sinus rhythm. Whatis the most likely drug responsible for this normalization of the electrocardiogram?Select one:O ignocaineQuinidineEsmololVerapamilAdenosine

Hello, May I get help with This question? Scenario: Diane C has begun to develop a disorder that is destroying the gap junctions between the contractile myocardial cells in her right ventricle. The most direct consequence of this disorder will be that she has... (See image)
Trace the journey of a drop of blood starting from the right atrium, continuing to the right thumb, and returning to the right atrium. This would include a trip through the heart. Be sure to identify both the arterial and venous vessels as well as all of the relevant structures within the heart. Considering the online nature of this exam, drawings are not required. Simply type in the order of structures with a dash (-) between structures.
A 67-year-old male was diagnosed with acute heart failure based on the clinical findings of decreased cardiac output, pulmonary congestion, and peripheral edema. His increased creatinine and BUN also indicated renal insufficiency. His electrocardiogram shows evidence of old myocardial infarction. Echocardiography reveals diminished left ventricular ejection fraction without ventricular dilatation. Pharmacologic therapy is started, including a positive inotrope, a coronary vasodilator, an antihypertensive ACE inhibitor, and a loop diuretic. Elective coronary angiography reveals significant stenosis of the left anterior descending artery. He undergoes balloon angioplasty and stent placement and remains stable as an outpatient. His discharge drug regimen is accompanied by a low-salt, low fat diet. What mechanisms led to Mr. R’s pulmonary congestion and pedal edema? How are they related to renal function and fluid-electrolyte balance? Briefly describe the process of sodium and fluid…
Molly Carpenter, a 44-year-old female client,is admitted with an embolic stroke, and the cardiologist ordered a transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). The client refused to sign the informed written consent when the cardiologist presented it to the client. The client has a shaky voice, she complains of palpitations, and there is visible diaphoresis present on Molly’s forehead. Molly is pacing back and forth in the room and her eyes are dilated. The vital signs include T, 98°F; BP, 140/90 mmHg; HR, 110 beats/minute; RR, 28 breaths/minute. The cardiologist talked with the client, stating that the test needs to be done to clearly find out if there are any blood clots in the heart that could travel and cause a future stroke. The client recognizes the test is needed but stated she is freaked out by the thought of a tube being shoved down her throat. The LPN/LVN needs to provide nursing interventions to reduce Molly’s anxiety so she can learn more about the TEE and comfort measures that will…
A 38-year-old corrections officer collapsed at the jail while playing basketball after work. A physician assistant (PA) and a registered nurse (RN), employees of a nearby hospital contracted to provide on-site medical care at the jail, were the first to respond. They connected the defibrillator, determined that the corrections officer was asystolic with perhaps a possible ventricular fibrillation. They detected no electrical activity within the heart and defibrillated, using the lowest setting at 200 joules. They then initiated chest compressions. Paramedics arrived 18 minutes later, immediately starting an intravenous (IV) line and administering epinephrine and then atropine. They continued to provide chest compression and aeration to the patient. The patient could not be successfully resuscitated, however, and subsequently died. His family brought a lawsuit for negligence and wrongful death. The court first accepted the fact that, as paid professional caregivers within the scope of…

Use the word bank below to complete the following statements. (Terms can be used more than once.) Perfusion flow decrease increase stay the same is the amount of blood moving through an organ, tissue, or blood vessel in a given time (ml/min) is the flow per given volume of tissue (ml/min/g) If you increase the diameter of a vessel, the flow through that vessel will If you increase the length of the vessel, the resistance of that vessel will and the flow will If you reduce the viscosity of blood, blood flow will
As blood flows from the aorta to the arteries, arterioles, and capillaries and through the venous circulation, it encounters various resistances to flow, which results in pressure drops. Using the table, calculate the resistance for an artery and a capillary. (Note: The viscosity of the blood is 3.5 × 10-3 Pa-s.)
A nurse caring for several patients in the cardiac unit is told that one is scheduled for implantation of an automatic internal cardioverter-defibrillator. Which of the following patients is most likely to have this procedure? A. A patient admitted for myocardial infarction without cardiac muscle damage. B. A postoperative coronary bypass patient, recovering on schedule. C. A patient with a history of ventricular tachycardia and syncopal episodes. D. A patient with a history of atrial tachycardia and fatigue.
Mr. Vincent is a 45-year-old salesman who is overweight. At work he suddenly develops severe chest pain and is nauseated. A coworker takes him to a nearby hospital. The emergency department physician orders an immediate ECG. A diagnosis of acute myocardial infarct is made. Mr. Vincent is scheduled for a balloon angioplasty with insertion of a cardiac stent. The surgery is completed and Mr. Vincent recovers with no complications. Margaret, the nurse clinician, is assigned to educate Mr. Vincent regarding his procedure and follow-up care. What is the function of the heart?
My Steve Dixon, a 55 year old male, has been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack (myocardial infarction). The Mr. Dixons cardiologist has ordered the nuclear medicine department to obtain a scan to measure to function of his right and left ventricles post–myocardial infarction. What is the name of the nuclear medicine scan being performed?
