Question 4 of 5

A patient being monitored post-heart transplant suffers a bradyarrhythmia. The AGACNP knows that which of the following medications is not indicated as part of emergency intervention for bradycardic abnormalities in a posttransplant patient?

A. Isoproterenol 0.2 to 0.6 mg IV bolus B. External pacemaking C. Atropine 0.5 mg IV D. Epinephrine 1 mg IV

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Epinephrine is not indicated as part of emergency intervention for bradycardic abnormalities in posttransplant patients. Epinephrine is a medication usually used in cases of cardiac arrest or severe anaphylaxis, and it can potentially exacerbate bradycardia in patients with preexisting bradyarrhythmias. In this scenario, other options such as isoproterenol, external pacemaking, and atropine are more appropriate choices for managing bradyarrhythmias in a posttransplant patient.
