A nurse is caring for a client with hyperkalemia. Which ECG change should the nurse monitor for?
- AProlonged QT intervalQT間期延長
- BProminent U wave明顯的U波
- CFlattened T waveT波平坦
- DTall, peaked T waves✓ 正解高大尖銳的T波

高血鉀(Hyperkalemia)會影響心肌細胞的靜止膜電位,導致再極化過程加速,進而在心電圖(ECG)上呈現特徵性變化。隨著血鉀升高,心電圖演變順序通常為:T波高尖(Tall, peaked T waves)、PR間期延長、QRS波變寬,嚴重時可能導致心室顫動或心搏停止。護理師必須熟悉此進程,因為這是預測致命性心律不整的早期警訊。
Hyperkalemia affects cardiac conduction by altering the resting membrane potential, typically resulting in tall, peaked T waves on an ECG. This is an early warning sign of potentially fatal arrhythmias, distinguishing it from hypokalemia which presents with flattened T waves or prominent U waves.
