A cardiovascular nurse is orienting a new nurse to the unit. The new nurse questions the steps of the normal cardiac conduction system. The senior nurse explains that action potentials in the myocardium follow which sequence?
 
  1. Sinoatrial (SA) node, internodal pathway, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers
  2. Internodal pathway, sinoatrial (SA) node, atrioventricular (AV) node, and Purkinje fibers
  3. Atrioventricular (AV) node, sinoatrial (SA) node, bundle of His, and internodal pathway
  4. Purkinje fibers, bundle of His, atrioventricular (AV) node, internodal pathway, and sinoatrial (SA) node

Question 2

The nurse knows that the SA node generates a new action potential approximately __ times per minute under resting conditions.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: This is the normal conduction pathway through the myocardium.
Rationale 2: This is an incorrect sequence of conduction through the myocardium.
Rationale 3: This is an incorrect sequence of conduction through the myocardium.
Rationale 4: This is an incorrect sequence of conduction through the myocardium.
Global Rationale: Sinoatrial (SA) node, internodal pathway, atrioventricular (AV) node, bundle of His, and Purkinje fibers is the normal conduction pathway through the myocardium. The other sequences are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 75
Rationale: The SA node generates a new action potential approximately 75 times per minute under resting conditions. This is known as a normal sinus rhythm.
Global Rationale: The SA node generates a new action potential approximately 75 times per minute under resting conditions. This is known as a normal sinus rhythm.

The average person is easily confused by the terms pharmaceutics and pharmacology, thinking they are one and the same. Whereas pharmaceutics is the science of preparing and dispensing drugs (otherwise known as the science of pharmacy), pharmacology is the study of medications.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Aspirin may benefit 11 different cancers, including those of the colon, pancreas, lungs, prostate, breasts, and leukemia.
