Sinus tachycardia

What is the immediate treatment for ventricular fibrillation?

Defibrillation

What is the characteristic of the QRS complex in a sinus rhythm?

Duration < 0.12 seconds

What is the interpretation of an ECG rhythm with a rate of 40 bpm, regular rhythm, and present P wave?

Sinus bradycardia

What is the characteristic of the P wave in atrial fibrillation?

Fibrillatory P wave

What is the interpretation of an ECG rhythm with a rate of 180 bpm, regular rhythm, and present P wave?

Supraventricular tachycardia

What is the most likely cardiac rhythm diagnosed in Roger's ECG?

Sinus Rhythm with First-Degree Atrioventricular Block

What is the probable P wave duration in Roger's ECG?

100-120 ms

What is the heart rate of Roger's ECG, given a PR interval of 160 ms and a RR interval of 800 ms?

72 beats per minute

What is the probable morphology of the QRS complex in Roger's ECG?

Narrow QRS complex (< 120 ms)

What is the likely interpretation of Roger's ECG, given a PR interval of 160 ms and a RR interval of 800 ms?

First-Degree Atrioventricular Block

What is the probable clinical significance of Roger's ECG findings?

Increased risk of atrial fibrillation

What is the primary purpose of calculating the heart rate in ECG interpretation?

To identify the cardiac rhythm

What is the method for calculating heart rate in regular rhythms?

Dividing 300 by the number of large squares between two successive R waves

What is the normal duration of the QRS complex in a normal sinus rhythm?

Less than 0.12 seconds

What is the characteristic of P waves in a normal sinus rhythm?

Present and normal, upward, and rounded

What is the interpretation of an ECG with a heart rate between 60-100 bpm and a regular rhythm?

Normal sinus rhythm

What is the next step after calculating the heart rate in ECG interpretation?

Assess the P waves

Test your understanding of ECG rhythm and its components, including atrial depolarization, ventricular depolarization, and repolarization. Identify the principles of ECG and what each area indicates. This quiz is perfect for nursing students and professionals looking to review their knowledge of ECG and arrhythmia.
