A 78-year old woman is admitted to a Medical unit directly
from her physician's office for evaluation and management of
congestive heart failure. She has a history of systemic
hypertension.
The initial assessment completed by the RN of the assigned
patient reveals a pulse rate that is rapid and very irregular. The
patient is restless, her skin is pale and cool, she states she is
dizzy when she stands up and she is slightly short of breath and
anxious. Her BP is 106/88. Her ECG monitor pattern shows
uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with a heart rate ranging from
150 -170 beats/min. Her respirations are 20/min and her O2
saturation is 90%.
Given the findings, what should be the first action of the
practical nurse?
What additional data would the practical nurse collect?
Discuss the potential complications of cardioversion and
patient preparation for an elective cardioversion. Because the
length of time the patient has been in atrial fibrillation is
unknown, what adverse reaction may occur?
Later that evening the patient calls the nurse because she feels
"like something terrible is going to happen." She reports chest
pain, has increased shortness of breath, and has coughed up
blood-tinged sputum.
Based on these symptoms, what might you suspect is
happening?
What is the first thing the practical nurse should do and what
further information would you expect to be collected?
