Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation Cardiac Review – Notes
Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation Cardiac Review – Slides
CARDIOVASCULAR NCLEX QUIZ QUESTIONS
Question 1: You begin your shift and assess an electrocardiogram rhythm strip. The P waves and QRS complexes are regular. The PR interval are not discernable, and the QRS complexes are 0.10 seconds. The overall atrial rate is 240 beats per minute with sawtooth like appearances. The nurse assesses the cardiac rhythm as:
A. Atrial Flutter
B. Atrial Fibrillation
C. First Degree Heart Block
D. Sinus Tachycardia
Question 2: After watching the cardiac monitor, you notice the rhythm has suddenly changed. P waves are no longer present and the QRS complexes are 0.10 seconds, and the rhythm is irregularly irregular. What rhythm is this?
A. Atrial Flutter
B. Atrial Fibrillation
C. First Degree Heart Block
D. Sinus Tachycardia
Question 3: True or False: Treatment for atrial flutter is treated with calcium channel blockers, defibrillation, and beta blockers.
Question 4: Causes for Atrial Flutter include the following, but not limited to (select all that apply)
A. Mitral valve disease
B. Atrial enlargement
C. Cor Pulmonale
D. Agratroban
Question 5: True or False: Dilitiazem helps control control the ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
