Place the nursing actions in order for suspected flecainide overdose with hypotension and a rapidly widening QRS complex.
Ordered Response
Choose your responses, then check the answer.
Explanation
Stabilize first, define the conduction and hemodynamic emergency, mobilize toxicology support, administer authorized sodium bicarbonate, and trend response and treatment complications.
Quick answer Treat flecainide overdose as life-threatening sodium-channel blockade.
Why this is correct The label describes extreme QRS widening, ventricular tachycardia, block, hypotension, and arrest without a specific antidote. AHA poisoning guidance supports sodium bicarbonate for life-threatening sodium-channel-blocker dysrhythmias.
Easy analogy or mental picture Open the sodium highway while continuously checking whether conduction and perfusion recover.
