The nurse knows the mnemonic for the path Sweet: SA node
of electrical impulses through the heart. Apples: AV node
Have: HIS bundle
(a) Big: Bundle Branches
Price: Purkinje fibers
The nurse knows the average QT interval. Between 0.34 and 0.43 seconds
The nurse understands what the P wave in Atrial depolarization (contraction)
an EKG symbolizes.
The nurse understands what the QRS Ventricular depolarization (contraction)
complex represents in the EKG.
The nurse understands what the T wave Ventricle repolarization (relaxation)
represents in the EKG.
The nurse understands that a U wave in an Old MI and repolarization of purkinje fibers
EKG is indicative of what?
The nurse understands what the PR Interval The time it takes an electrical impulse to depolarize the atria
represents in the EKG. and travel to the ventricles
The nurse knows what the QT interval The time it takes the ventricle to depolarize then repolarize
represents in the EKG.
The nurse knows how to calculate the HR Count QRS complexes in 6 second strip and multiply by 10
from a regular EKG.
The nurse knows the rate for the SA node 60-100 per minute
and atria.
The nurse knows the rate for the AV node. 40-60 per minute
The nurse knows how to determine if a Count boxes between P waves or QRS complexes (regular
rhythm is regular on an EKG. rhythm will have equal amount)

How many large boxes are in 3 seconds?
The nurse knows the rhythms that require Pulseless VT and VF
defibrillation
The nurse knows the charge that is given for 200 J
defibrillation.
The nurse knows what cardioversion is. Controlled electrical discharge of energy at the peak of the R
wave
The nurse knows what rhythms are given SVT, A-fib with RVR, A-flutter with RVR, and VT w/ pulse
cardioversion.
The nurse knows what charge is given for 50-100 J up to 200 J
cardioversion for SVT and AFL.
The nurse knows the charge given for a-fib 120-200 J
and VT w/ pulse.
The nurse knows the charge given during 200 J
defibrillation.
