d. absence of a P wave
Which of the following waveforms QRS complex
represent the electrical event that should
initiate ventricular contraction?
What is the normal range of the PR 0.12-0.20
interval?
What is the normal length of the QRS below 0.12
interval?
What bpm rate is Sinus Tachycardia on a 101-160 bpm

Which of the following describes a cells automaticity
ability to spontaneously generate an
impulse?

, multiply the number of QRS's by 10
How do you calculate the rate on a strip?
pay attention to marks on strip to count right
How to differentiate between normal sinus the distance between each R (peak in QRS wave) is different and NOT the same
rhythm and sinus arrhythmia within a strip
the activation of BLANK system causes in a sympathetic nervous system
release in epinephrine which results in an
increase in heart rate, blood pressure, and
cardiac output
the QRS on an EKG corresponds to which a. ventricular depolarization
of the following electrical events:
a. ventricular depolarization
b. ventricular repolarization
c. atrial repolarization
d. atrial depolarization
Inefective atrial contractions are associated d. atrial fibrillation
with which rhythm
a. normal sinus with PAC
b. normal sinus with PVC
c. ventricular fibrillation
d. atrial fibrillation
The P wave comes EARLY.
How can you tell a strip with normal sinus
rhythm with PAC (premature atrial
P waves occur when the atria contracts followed by the QRS and T waves. You know
contraction is occurring)?
a PAC is occurring when the PQRST segment happens too soon after the last PQRST.
Which of the following is a characteristic of tombstone pattern
atrial flutter?
When taking the pulse of a patient in atrial a. an irregular pulse and pulse deficit
fibrillation the nurse would expect
a. an irregular pulse and pulse deficit
b. an irregular and bounding pulse
c. a regular pulse and pulse deficit
d. a regular and bounding pulse
In atrial flutter the atrial rate usually ranges 250 and 400 bpm
between:
Which of the following would you expect a. hypotension
to see in a patient with SVT at a ventricular
rate of 220?
a. hypotension
b. hypertension
c. headache
d. pulse deficit
What will NEVER be an answer on the test? Headache
Symptoms that may be experienced by a d. all of the above
patient who suddenly develops atrial
fibrillation with a ventricular rate of 160
include:
a. palpitations
b. dyspnea
c. hypotension
d. all of the above
