PVCs are only a concern if more than how many occur in one minute
6
What to do if pt has 4 PVCs per min
Continue to monitor
Diltiazem is used for what
Dysrhythmias
Diltiazem
Nursing care and client education
Give with food or milk if G.I. distress, good oral care, the boy grapefruit juice, alcohol, and OTC preparations, protect from sun.
Priority for MI
Admin O2
S3 indicate which confidion
MI
The QRS complex reflux which activity
Ventricular depolarization
Ventricular repolarization is reflected where
T Wave
Atrial depolarization is reflected where
P Wave
Atrial fibrillation criteria
Atrial way is the regular and 350 to 600 bpm, ventricular rate is variable and irregular, P wave is chaotic, PR interval is not measurable
Normal PR interval length/time
0.12-0.20 seconds

Ventricular fibrillation
Five small squares equal how much time
0.20 seconds
How many large squares equal six seconds
30 large
True or false does pain increased myocardial oxygen demand
True
