[Verified Answer]: Time On This Question: 00:39 30

Time On This Question: 00:39 30. Your patient has atrial fibrillation, a rapid ventricular response, and a history of Wolff-ParkinsonWhite (WPW) syndrome. Your partner suggests the administration of 6 mg of adenosine and you suggest this is incorrect. Which of the following BEST explains why? The dosage of adenosine in this case should be 12 mg versus 6 mg because of the WPW. The adenosine will not have any impact on this patient because of the history of WPW. The adenosine will only temporarily slow the atrial fibrillation but will not stop the fast response. The adenosine will block the AV node, allowing the patient to go into ventricular fibrillation.
