RCP 130 Test Questions Answered Correctly Latest Update 2025
Automaticity - Answers The ability of the cardiac cells to spontaneously depolarize.
QRS complex - Answers What represents ventricular depolarization?
T wave - Answers What represents repolarization of the ventricles?
To the right and left bundle branch - Answers Where does the impulse travel immediately after
leaving the bundle of HIS?
depolarization of the atria - Answers The P wave on an ECG represents which of the following?
0.12 - 0.20 seconds - Answers How long is the normal PR interval?
SA node (pacemaker) - Answers Which of the following has the greatest degree of automaticity?
0.06 - 0.12 seconds - Answers Which of the following is true of the P wave?
Ectopic - Answers Any beat originating outside the SA node is called?
Right Atria - Answers Where does the impulse travel immediately after it has left the SA node?
Purkinje fibers - Answers Just before ventricular contraction, the final impulse passes through
which of the following?
SA node - Answers What structure normally paces the healthy heart at 60-100 bpm and is
known as the pacemaker?
To allow adequate filling of the ventricles - Answers Why is the electrical impulse temporarily
delayed at the atrioventricular node?
Atrioventricular block - Answers What is implied by an abnormally prolonged PR interval?
Sinus tachycardia - Answers The RT was suctioning an intubated patient in the ICU and noticed
an ECG pattern with a rate of 120 bpm. Each QRS had a P wave in front of it and the rhythm was
consistent. What is shown?
Second degree heart block type 1 - Answers Sarah is a new RT at Memorial hospital. She was
doing her rounds and noticed Mr. Smith's ECG monitor showed progressively long PR intervals
with an occasional dropped QRS complex. What rhythm did Sarah observe?
Third degree heart block - Answers Mrs. Perkins is being monitored on the telemetry floor of the
local hospital. Her ECG shows that the atria and ventricles are pacing independently and there is
no relationship between the P waves and the QRS complexes. What rhythm is being observed?
First degree heart block - Answers The nurse noticed that the ECG monitor is showing a rhythm
with long PR intervals with consistency in time. What rhythm is the nurse observing?
, Atropine - Answers What medication is recommended for admin of bradycardia?
ventricular tachycardia - Answers The ECG monitor showed a series of very wide QRS
complexes with no P waves in front of them. What rhythm is being displayed?
AV node - Answers Which of the following is the gatekeeper and paces the hear at 40-60 bpm?
Rhythm - Answers Evaluating R-R intervals helps to identify which of the following?
cardioversion, anticoagulants, beta blockers - Answers All of the following are used in the
treatment of atrial fibrillation except?

recommended for which of the following arrhythmia?

compressed gas cylinders and their larger counterparts?
Weigh the cylinder itself - Answers To accurately determine the remaining contents of a liquid
filled CO2 cylinder, what would you do?
