The procedure that would the nurse educate the patient about for termination of the dysrhythmia is elective cardioversion.

What is elective cardioversion?

A controlled electrical current is delivered to your heart muscle by special electrodes attached to the skin on your chest and back during elective (nonemergent) cardioversion. Cardioversion attempts to restore normal rhythm (sinus rhythm).

If the ventricular rate is not too slow, atrial fibrillation can also be treated with elective cardioversion or digitalis.

A ventricular problem is treated with defibrillation. A Mace procedure is merely a diversion from this question. Pacemakers are used to treat bradycardia.

Thus, the answer is elective cardioversion, visit:
