A female patient who has been experiencing progressive syncope, dyspnea, and hypotension has been diagnosed with a third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. The nurse should understand that the patient is experiencing these symptoms because:
 
  A) Only some of the atrial impulses are being conducted through the AV node into the ventricles.
  B) Conduction of the electrical impulse is failing to progress beyond the atria to the ventricles.
  C) The patient's sinus node is failing to create an impulse.
  D) Impulses starting in a ventricle are being conducted through the ventricles before the next normal sinus impulse.

Question 2

  1. Focuses on the effects of diseases
  2. Predicts the outcome for patients with disabilities
  3. Demonstrates the patient's interaction with the environment
  4. Identifies the potential for rehabilitation early in the process
