Nursing staff report that the patient was recovering from a pulmonary embolism and suddenly collapsed. There is no pulse or spontaneous respirations. High-quality CPR is in progress, and effective ventilation is being provided with bag-mask. An IV has been initiated. You would now A. Initiate transcutaneous pacing B. Give epinephrine 1.0 mg IV C.

Repeat adenosine 3 mg IV E. Sedate and perform synchronized cardioversion Answer: C Question #347 You arrive on-scene and find a 56-year-old diabetic woman complaining of chest discomfort. She is pale and diaphoretic, complaining of lightheadedness. Her blood pressure is 80/60 mmHg. The cardiac monitor documents the rhythm above. She is receiving oxygen at 4 L/min by nasal cannula, and an IV has been established. Transcutaneous pacing has been requested but is not yet available. Your next order is - A. Give morphine sulfate 4 mg IV B. Start dopamine at 2 to 10 ug/kg per minute C. Give atropine 0.5 mg IV D. Give atropine 1 mg IV E. Give nitroglycerin 0.4 mg SL Answer: C Question #348 You are evaluating a patient with 15-minute duration of chest pain during transportation to the emergency department. He is receiving oxygen, and 2 sublingual nitroglycerin tablets have relieved his chest discomfort. He has no complaints but appears anxious. Blood pressure is 130/70 mmHg. You observe the above rhythm on the monitor and your next action is A. Give atropine 0.5 mg IV B. Initiate transcutaneous pacing (TCP) C. Continue monitoring patient, prepare for TCP D. Administer nitroglycerin 0.4 mg SL E. Start epinephrine 2 to 10 ug/min and titrate Answer: C Question #349 Following resuscitation with CPR and a single shock, you observe this rhythm while preparing the patient for transport. Your patient is stable and blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. She is apprehensive but has no complaints other than palpitations. At this time you would A. Give magnesium sulfate 1 to 2 g over 20 minutes B. Seek expert consultation C. Give amiodarone 300 mg IV, start infusion D. Give lidocaine 1 to 1.5 mg IV, start lidocaine infusion Answer: B Question #350 A patient in the ED develops recurrent chest discomfort (8/10) suspicious for ischemia. His monitored rhythm becomes irregular as seen above. Oxygen is being administered by nasal cannula at 4 L/min and an intravenous line is patent. Blood pressure is 160/96 mmHg. There are no allergies or contraindications to any medication. You would first order A. Lidocaine 1 mg/kg IV and infusion 2 mg/min B. Morphine sulfate 2 to 4 mg IV C. Nitroglycerin 0.4 mg SL D. Amiodarone 150 mg IV E. Intravenous nitroglycerin initiated at 10 ug/min and titrated Answer: C Question #351 This patient was admitted to the general medical ward with a history of alcoholism. A code is in progress and he has recurrent episodes of this rhythm. You review his chart. Notes about the 12- lead ECG say that his baseline QT-interval is top normal to slightly prolonged. He has received 2 doses of epinephrine 1 mg and 1 dose of amiodarone 300 mg IV so far. For his next medication you would now order A. Repeat amiodarone 150 mg IV B. Lidocaine 1 to 1.5 mg IV and start infusion 2 mg/minute C. Repeat amiodarone 300 mg IV D. Give magnesium sulfate 1 to 2 g IV diluted in 10 ml_ D5W given over 5 to 20 minutes E. Give sodium bicarbonate 50 mEq IV Answer: D Question #352 This patient suddenly collapsed and is poorly responsive. The patient has a weak carotid pulse.
