2. The rhythm below is best described as:

Explanation

Asystole

Submit
3. The name for the volume of blood in the ventricle immediately before it is ejected is:

Explanation

The correct answer is preload.Afterload is the resistance that the LV must pump against. Contractility is the squeezing ability of the LV.Automaticity is what allows the SA node to initiate an impulse.

Submit
4. Please answer true or false to the questions below.

Explanation

An untreated ventricular tachycardia may lead to ventricular fibrillation.Complete heart block may lead to asystole but,not ventricular fibrillation.

Submit
5. Using the 6 second method or the rule of 10's, which of the following is the atrial rate if the number of P waves on a 6-second strip is 5?

Explanation

10x5=50

Submit
6. Another name for ventricular contraction is:

Explanation

Systole is ventricular contraction.Diastole is ventricular filling. Repolarization occurs when cells return to their negative resting state.The sternum is the breast bone.

Submit
7.
The rhythm below is best described as:






Please interpret the above rhythm.

Explanation

Atrial flutter

Submit
8. The rhythm below is best described as:

Explanation

Normal sinus rhythm

Submit
9.

The rhythm above is best described as:




Explanation

Supraventricular tachycardia

Submit
10. When determining heart rate in a normal heart, you should always remember that the atrial rate is:

Explanation

In the normal heart,the atrial and ventricular rate are always equal.

Submit
11. Indicate in the spaces provided whether the following statements related to sinus tachycardia are true.

Explanation

A-false. (tachycardia increases workload). B. false. First attempt to indentify the causes.C. True. D. True.

Submit
12. Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that might require cardioversion.

Explanation

Rapid atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia with a pulse would be rhythms acceptable for cardioversion. Third degree heart block requires a pacemaker. Asystole requires CPR.PEA requires CPR.

Submit
13. Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that would require a transcutaneous pacemaker.

Explanation

First degree heart block does not require treatment. Asystole requires CPR. Third degree heart block requires a pacemaker. Bradycardia with signs of poor perfusion requires a pacemaker. Atrial fibrillation requires meds or cardioversion.

Submit
14.  Please interpret the rhythm below.

Explanation

Third degree heart block

Submit
15.  Please place a check mark next to the rhythm or rhythms that would require defibrillation.

Explanation

Asystole requires CPR, SVT requires cardioversion and/or meds. A fib requires meds and/or cardioversion.Ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia require defibrillation.
