Use this scenario to answer the next 6 questions: A 45-year-old man had coronary artery stents placed 2 days ago. Today, he is in severe distress and isreporting “crushing” chest discomfort. He is pale, diaphoretic, and cool to the touch. His radial pulse is veryweak, blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg, respiratory rate is 28 breaths/min, and oxygen saturation is 89% onroom air. When applied, the cardiac monitor initially showed ventricular tachycardia, which then quicklychanged to ventricular fibrillation.

Use this scenario for the next four questions: A 68-year-old woman presents with light-headedness, nausea, and chest discomfort. Your assessment findsher awake and responsive but appearing ill, pale, and grossly diaphoretic. Her radial pulse is weak, thready,and fast. You are unable to obtain a blood pressure. She has no obvious dependent edema, and her neckveins are flat. Her lung sounds are equal, with moderate rales present bilaterally. The cardiac monitor shows the rhythm seen here.
