ANSWERS GRADED A+
▶ P waves in normal sinus rhythm. Answer: identical and precede each
QRS
▶ what electrolyte imbalance in caused by premature ventricular
contraction PVC. Answer: hypokalemia
▶ treatment for a-fib or a-flutter for new onset with rate is <180 bpm.
Answer: Amiodarone
Beta blockers
Digoxin
▶ Amiodorone. Answer: Antidysrhythmic
chemical cardioversion
Monitor ECG for prolonged QT interval with use of antidysrhythmic
▶ 1st degree heart block. Answer: This prolongs the PR interval to > 0.20

This may be temporary due to ischemia
Treatment - Observe the patient
▶ 3rd degree heart block. Answer: aka Complete heart block
Tx immediately w/ a pacemaker (any type)
▶ V-fib. Answer: Rate: Cannot be determined
Rhythm: Chaotic
P wave: Not identifiable
QRS: Not identifiable
TREATMENT
Assess Femoral or Carotid pulse
