Question 1 of 5
A client presents to the emergency healthcare setting and diagnosed with a life-threatening ventricular dysrhythmia. Which of the following medications would the nurse begin to prepare?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Procainamide. This medication is a Class I antiarrhythmic agent that is effective in treating ventricular dysrhythmias. It works by stabilizing the cardiac cell membrane and decreasing the conduction velocity in the heart. Atenolol (
A) and Lisinopril (
B) are not appropriate choices for ventricular dysrhythmias. Adenosine (
C) is used for supraventricular tachycardia, not ventricular dysrhythmias. In summary, Procainamide is the correct choice due to its effectiveness in treating ventricular dysrhythmias by stabilizing the cardiac cell membrane and slowing conduction velocity.
