Answer to Question 1

Clinical signs and symptoms of hemodynamic compromise can include: acute changes in mental status; chest pain or discomfort; cold, clammy skin; fall in urine output; heart failure; low blood pressure; pulmonary congestion; shock; and shortness of breath.

Answer to Question 2

B
If the SA node fires at a rate that is slower than normal for the patient's age, the rhythm is called sinus bradycardia. The rhythm starts in the SA node and then travels the normal conduction pathway, resulting in atrial and ventricular depolarization. In adults and adolescents, a sinus bradycardia has a heart rate of less than 60 beats/min. The term severe sinus bradycardia is sometimes used to describe a sinus bradycardia with a rate of less than 40 beats/min.
