Cardiovascular nurses work with cardiologists to nurse a patient with cardiovascular disorders back to health. Being that sicknesses affecting the heart are pretty serious and fatal extra care should be given. Take up the quiz below and see how experienced you are to handle such a patient. All the best!
60 bpm, a P-R interval of .12-.20, and a regular rate
54 bpm, a P-R interval of .22 and a regular rate
78 bpm, 2 p waves for every QRS
102 bpm, a P-R interval of .08 and a regular rate

The heart is not pumping adequately
There is increasing afterload that is not allowing the heart to work properly
There is faint pulses in the jugular
There is no pulse, no perfusion, and the heart is not pumping
Is the first line of defense in stable SVT
Decrease preload and afterload and helps prevent remodeling after in MI.
Speeds up heart rate Increases contractility in the heart
Slows down the heart rate
There is Atrial Flutter
There is a regular stable SVT
Heart rate needs to be increases
Helps remodel the heart after a MI

Increases Blood Pressure
Decreases Blood Pressure
Tachycardia
Bradycardia
Hypertensive Crisis
Hypotension
Slows down heart rate and and increases contractility
Decrease preload and afterload and prevent remodeling post MI
Slow down heart rate, control blood pressure and as an adjunct to Fibrinolytic drugs
Increasing heart rate related to symptomatic bradycardia
Decrease preload and afterload and prevent remodeling post MI
Slow down heart rate, control blood pressure and as an adjunct to Fibrinolytic drugs
Slowing the heart rate, increasing contractility and slows the ventricular rate
Slowing down Atrial fibrillation
Increases heart rate during symptomatic bradycardia
Converts V Tach
Converts V Fib
Decreases preload and afterload
