RN ANNUAL ARRHYTHMIA ASSESSMENT. ACTUAL 2025 UPDATE
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS.
Question 1
Correct
Identify the rhythm strip in Lead II:
What is the ventricular rate/rhythm?
Your answer: Rhythm Strip: Junctional rhythm Ventricular Rate/Rhythm: 50 bpm/regular
Question 2
Incorrect
A patient in atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response experiences the following symptoms:
shortness of breath, chest pain, and dizziness. You understand these symptoms require an immediate
response. These symptoms are due to:
Your answer: Myocardial infarction and requires thrombolytic therapy
Correct answer: Decreased cardiac output and requires electrical cardioversion
Question 3
Correct
Magnesium is primarily used in the management of:
Your answer: Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, Torsades de Pointes (TdP)
Question 4
Correct
In normal sinus rhythm the PR interval (PRI) is:
Your answer: 0.12-0.20 seconds
Question 5
Correct
What is the normal sequential conduction pattern of the heart?
Your answer: SA node, AV node, Bundle of His, Bundle Branches, Purkinje Fibers
Question 6
Correct
Atrial Fibrillation is identified by the following:
Your answer: D. A and C
Question 7
Incorrect
This 6-second rhythm strip in Lead II is an example of:
Your answer: Sinus rhythm with a wide QRS
, Correct answer: Idioventricular rhythm
Question 8
Correct
Which drug is indicated in both supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias?
Your answer: Amiodarone
Question 9
Correct
This rhythm strip in Lead II is an example of:
Your answer: Sinus tachycardia
Question 10
Correct
Adenosine is the drug of choice in the treatment of:
Your answer: Stable narrow complex tachycardia, such as SVT, PSVT
Question 11
Correct
The initial dose of Amiodarone (Cordarone) in a cardiac arrest is:
Your answer: 300 mg IVP bolus
Question 12
Correct
Identify this 6-second rhythm strip in Lead II:
Your answer: Rhythm Strip: Atrial flutter Ventricular Rate/Rhythm: 80 bpm/regular
Question 13
Correct
Magnesium is the recommended drug for which rhythm:
Your answer: Torsades de Pointes (TdP)
Question 14
Correct
On the ECG tracing, electrical capture is identified by:
Your answer: The presence of a pacing spike followed by the response of the atrium or ventricle to the
stimulus
Question 15
Correct
Identify this 6-second rhythm strip in Lead II:
What is the ventricular rate/rhythm?
