A nurse is monitoring a client being evaluated who has a potassium level of 7 meq/l (mmol/l). Which electrocardiogram changes will the client display?

Respuesta :

The electrocardiogram changes which will be shown by the client report when being monitored and evaluated by a potassium level of 7mEq/L(mmol/L) will be peaked T waves. So, the correct option is B.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a kind of quick test usually done for heart problem patients that can be used to examine the electrical activity and rhythm of your heart.

The electrical signals which are shown by our heart when it beats out each time, they are picked up by sensors that are affixed to your skin.

A few of the heart conditions that electrocardiography can detect are as follows:

  • An inflamed pericardium;
  • Heart failure or Cardiovascular disease (atherosclerosis)
  • Fluid in the chest.
  • Heart valve leaks or Narrowing of the heart valve (stenosis)
  • Heart muscle illness (cardiomyopathy)
  • Heart arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.

The three mostly read elements or waves in the ECG are:

  1. Depolarization of the atria is shown by the P wave,
  2. Depolarization of the ventricles is shown by QRS complex,
  3. Repolarization of the ventricles is shown by T wave.

The complete question is as follows:

A nurse is monitoring a client being evaluated who has a potassium level of 7 mEq/L (mmol/L). Which electrocardiogram changes will the client display?

A) elevated ST segment

B) peaked T waves

C) prolonged T waves

D) shortened PR interval
