cardiac meds ESSAY please help>>>

Published

I am a third year nursing student who has been given an essay that has me baffled, I am pleading with all of you beautiful intelligent nurses whom I respect enormously to enlighten me. this essay is reverse diagnosis we have been give a list of meds and told to form a diagnosis and time line of administration from these meds...

adrenaline

midazolam

digoxin

heparin

insulin

potassium chloride

morphine

suxamethonium

what I have gathered from this is patient is in AF (or other arrhythmia) and requires cardioversion (explains sux and midaz)heparin for clots, must be diabetic, must be hypokalemic (explains AF) digoxin also for AF but why is there adrenaline? please tell me if i am on the wrong track because i am swiftly running out of time,

thanks heaps,

janie.

Hint: another name for adrenalin is epinephrine. It's an ACLS drug. ;)
