A nurse is assessing patients on a medical-surgical unit. Which patient would the nurse identify as being at greatest risk for atrial?



Answer :

B. A 50-year-old who is post coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart. The basic cause of Atrial fibrillation is disorganized signals that make your heart's two upper chambers (the atria) squeeze very fast and out of sync. They contract so quickly that the heart walls quiver, or fibrillate.

Atrial fibrillation occurs commonly in clients with cardiac disease and is a common occurrence after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The other conditions do not place these clients at higher risk for atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation isn't usually life-threatening or considered serious in people who are otherwise healthy.
