If a client presents with pulseless ventricular tachycardia in the ER, what is the nurse’s first action?
Correct Incorrect Pulseless VT is a lethal arrhythmia where the ventricles contract rapidly but ineffectively, resulting in no cardiac output and no pulse. Without immediate action, it quickly progresses to ventricular fibrillation or asystole.
