ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) |LATEST UPDATE
2026/2027 | ALREADY GRADED A+.
SVT r/t what diseases? - ANSWER-Atherosclerosis
HF
Thyroid disease
chronic lung disease
pneumonia
pericarditis
3 types of SVT? A, A, A - ANSWER-Atrial tachycardia
Atrial fibrillation
Atrial flutter
What is done to dx origin of SVT rhythms? (E, V, A) - ANSWER-12 lead
EKG
Vagal manuever
Adenosine
Tx SVT rhythms? (A, V, S) - ANSWER-Assess
,2|Page
Vagal manuevers to release acetylcholine
Slow conduction through AV node
Vagal maneuvers?
C, B, B) - ANSWER-Cough, bearing down, breath holding
Sinus tachycardia EKG characteristics:
Rate: 100-150
Rhythm:
P waves?
PRI?
QRS:?
Might not see? - ANSWER-Rate: 100-150
Rhythm: atrial/ventricular regular
P waves: uniform followed by QRS
PRI: 0.12-0.20
QRS: 0.04-0.10
Might not see a T wave
Sinus tachycardia tx? - ANSWER-Assess and treat underlying cause
,3|Page
Sinus arrhythmia EKG characteristics
Rate:
Rhythm: Atrial and ventricular rhythms are reg or irreg?
P-wave:
PRI:
QRS: - ANSWER-Rate: 60-100
Rhythm: Irregular
P-wave: P-P and R-R intervals irreg
PRI: 0.12-0.20
QRS: 0.04-.010
Sinus arrhythmia causes?
(V, M, (I, C, E), D, M) - ANSWER-Ventilators
MI
Infants, children, elderly
Digitalis
Morphine
Sinus arrhythmia interventions? - ANSWER-Monitor, no interventions
needed
Sinus pause arrest:
, 4|Page
Caused by what: ?
Is there electrical activity during the pause: ?
Underlying rhythm? - ANSWER-Cause: SA node fails to discharge and
impulse
Electrical activity: No
Underlying rhythm: Sinus rhythm
SVT drugs? - ANSWER-Adenosine, beta blockers and Ca+ channel
blockers
When you have a regular atrial and ventricular rhythm with a normal
QRS and PRI, and the atrial and ventricular rate is between 100-150
bpm, this rhythm would be identified as a
Normal sinus rhythm
Sinus arrhythmia
Sinus bradycardia
Sinus tachycardia - ANSWER-Sinus tachycardia
Sinus pause EKG characteristics
Rate:
Rhythm
