Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cardiac rhythm cannot be determined from the given code. The nurse should monitor for any changes and notify the healthcare provider if necessary. Administering sublingual nitroglycerin or preparing to defibrillate should only be done based on specific indications and not solely on the presence of a cardiac rhythm.
