Question

A code has been called for the client experiencing ventricular fibrillation. which medication should you prepare to administer to the client?

Answer 1

To administer the patient defibrillating an adult patient, the nurse should continue good contact among the paddles and the patient's skin to stop arcing, apply an appropriate conducting agent (not water) between the skin and the paddles, and ensure the defibrillator is in the nonsync mode. "Clear" should be called three times before discharging the paddles.
