Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who has atrial fibrillation and reports heart palpitations, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath. Which of the following procedures should the nurse anticipate for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Synchronized electrical cardioversion is the correct answer as it is used to restore normal sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation, addressing symptoms like palpitations and shortness of breath. Septal myectomy is for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, not atrial fibrillation. Pericardiocentesis and pericardial window are used for pericardial effusion or tamponade, not atrial fibrillation.
