Echelon Pt 2 Rhythms Questions and
Answers | 100% Pass
ECG strip that shows regular atrial rhythm, an atrial rate greater than ventricular rate
(some QRS complexes are dropped) and a constant PR interval when the atrial and
ventricular complexes appear together would most likely be identified as what rhythm? -
Answer✔✔-2nd degree block type II
Why is the R-on-T premature ventricular complex (PVC) of major concern? -

called?
A. Unifocal premature ventricular complexes
B. Multifocal premature ventricular complexes
C. Premature ventricular complex couplet
D. Trigeminal premature ventricular complexes - Answer✔✔-B. Multifocal premature
ventricular complexes

B. 3rd degree heart block
C. Junctional
D. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) - Answer✔✔-A. 2nd degree heart block type II
What rhythm is characterized by a conduction block between the atria and ventricles

C. 3rd degree heart block at bundle branch block level
D. Idioventricular rhythm (IVR) - Answer✔✔-B. 2nd degree heart block type II
Which is a key to differentiating 2nd degree block type I from type II?
A. PR intervals
B. P waves
C. Rate
D. Rhythm
Correct - Answer✔✔-A. PR intervals
Which is the correct intervention sequence for ventricular fibrillation?
A. Access the patient; initiate CPR; administer epinephrine
B. Access the patient; initiate CPR; defibrillate ASAP
C. Access the patient; defibrillate; intubate
