The primary care NP sees a new patient for a routine physical examination. When auscultating the heart, the NP notes a heart rate of 78 beats per minute with occasional extra beats followed by a pause.
 
  History reveals no past cardiovascular disease, but the patient reports occasional syncope and shortness of breath. The NP should: a. order an ECG and refer to a cardiologist.
  b. schedule a cardiac stress test and a graded exercise test.
  c. order a complete blood count (CBC) and electrolytes and consider a trial of procainamide.
  d. prescribe a B-blocker and anticoagulant and order 24-hour Holter monitoring.
