Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Electrolyte imbalances, especially a high-potassium level, valvular prolapse, heart damage after a heart attack, and fluid overload are all potential causative factors for abnormal heart rhythms. A properly functioning SA node results in normal sinus rhythm.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
The patient will return from the surgery with an eye patch in place. The nurse should speak before touching the patient so the patient is not startled. The nurse should administer a laxative to prevent straining during bowel movements. The nurse should warn the patient that vision does not return immediately and instruct the patient to wear an eye shield at night or when napping. This procedure does not require changing an eye patch twice daily.
