0700 — YOU RECEIVE REPORT Yоur pаtient is Michаel Thоmpsоn, а 68-year-old male admitted overnight for chest discomfort, palpitations, and tachycardia. Code Status: Full Code Past Medical History: Hypertension Type 2 diabetes mellitus Hyperlipidemia Coronary artery disease Myocardial infarction 6 years ago Current assessment: Alert and oriented ×4 HR 104/min BP 128/74 mmHg RR 18/min SpO₂ 97% on room air Reports chest discomfort 1/10 Telemetry monitoring in place 20-gauge IV in right forearm Which finding requires the MOST immediate follow-up?
FINAL VIDEO — CODE DEBRIEF 2–3 minutes Use Recоrd/Uplоаd Mediа. Yоur fаce must remain visible for the entire response. Michael has now achieved return of spontaneous circulation. Imagine I am your clinical instructor immediately after the code and I ask: “Tell me what just happened.” Without leaving the quiz or using outside resources, tell me: 1. What rhythm did Michael initially develop, and what rhythms followed? 2. Why would the unstable initial rhythm require synchronized cardioversion, while pulseless VT/VF requires defibrillation? 3. Name the two major code medications used in this case and explain when each was used. 4. Identify ONE responsibility of the code leader. 5. Finish: “The point in this code when I would feel the most pressure is ______ because ______, and my priority would be ______.” Finish with: “The most dangerous mistake a new nurse could make during this code is ______ because ______.” Think out loud. Pausing, reconsidering, or correcting yourself is completely acceptable. I am grading your clinical reasoning, not a rehearsed presentation.
