A patient has a heart rate of 45 bpm, normal P waves, normal
, PR intervals, and normal QRS complexes. What is the most likely
rhythm?
A) Sinus arrest
B) Sinus bradycardia

B) Respirations
C) Body temperature
D) Medication administration
What occurs during sinus arrest?
A) The SA node fires too slowly.
B) The SA node fires too quickly.
