EKG COMPREHENSIVE CLEP MASTERY
TEST QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED
ANSWERS.NEW UPDATE. JUST RELEASED
1. Where is the Sinoatrial (SA) node anatomically located?
A. In the left atrial wall
B. In the floor of the right atrium near the septum
C. In the interventricular septum
D. In the superior portion of the right atrium
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: The SA node, the primary pacemaker of the heart, is located in
the upper posterior wall of the right atrium.
2. A normal PR interval should measure between which time range?
A. 0.12 to 0.20 seconds
B. 0.04 to 0.10 seconds
C. 0.20 to 0.40 seconds
D. 0.06 to 0.12 seconds
Answer: A
,Conceptual Explanation: The PR interval reflects the time from atrial depolarization to
the start of ventricular depolarization and is normally 0.12 to 0.20 seconds.
3. What does the P wave represent on an EKG tracing?
A. Ventricular depolarization
B. Atrial repolarization
C. Ventricular repolarization
D. Atrial depolarization
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: The P wave represents the electrical activation (depolarization)
of the atria.
4. The QRS complex represents which phase of the cardiac cycle?
A. Atrial contraction
B. Atrial depolarization
C. Ventricular repolarization
D. Ventricular depolarization
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: The QRS complex corresponds to the depolarization of the
ventricles.
, 5. Which lead is considered a ‘rhythm strip’ most commonly due to its clear view of the P
wave?
A. Lead I
B. Lead II
C. Lead V1
D. Lead aVR
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: Lead II follows the natural electrical axis of the heart, providing
the clearest view of P waves.
6. What is the standard paper speed for a 12-lead EKG?
A. 50 mm/sec
B. 75 mm/sec
C. 10 mm/sec
D. 25 mm/sec
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: The standard EKG recording speed is 25 millimeters per second.
7. If the PR interval is constant but measures 0.24 seconds, the rhythm is classified as:
A. Second-degree Type II block
