CCT CCI FINAL EXAM 2025 UPDATED ACTUAL
EXAM WITH CORRECT SOLUTIONS.
Which statement is correct regarding premature ventricular
complexes (PVCs)?
PVCs originate from the atrium.
PVCs may be unifocal or multifocal in origin.
PVCs will not lead to ventricular tachycardia.
PVCs only originate from one site in the ventricles. - correct
answer- PVCs may be unifocal or multifocal in origin.
A regular rhythm at a rate of 40-60 beats per minute, with
narrow QRS complexes, and no visible P waves, is consistent
with the presence of:
atrial fibrillation.
sinus bradycardia.
junctional rhythm.
idioventricular rhythm. - correct answer- junctional rhythm.
