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.
 
  Standard Text: Round answer to the nearest whole number.

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.

Only 12 hours after an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm cell, the egg cell starts to divide. As it continues to divide, it moves along the fallopian tube toward the uterus at about 1 inch per day.

Did you know?

More than 20 million Americans cite use of marijuana within the past 30 days, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). More than 8 million admit to using it almost every day.

Did you know?

When intravenous medications are involved in adverse drug events, their harmful effects may occur more rapidly, and be more severe than errors with oral medications. This is due to the direct administration into the bloodstream.

Did you know?

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

Did you know?

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.
