ventricular reploarization results in which of the following events? Relaxation
Which of the following changes takes place during respiration? The R-R intervals shorten with inspiration
A normal sinus rhythm can have all the following features except PR interval of .24 seconds
What will often produce an irregular rhythm? Sinus dysrhthmia
What sinus rythm has a rate of more than 100 beats per minute Sinus tachycardia

EKG strips must include the following information Pt's name and id number
One method to calculate heart rate from an EKg strip is to count the small boxes between the R-R inerval and divide into 1500
Which of the following will not interfere with an EKG tracing Pt falling asleep
Which of the following results in a wandering baseline on a EKG Tension or pulling an electrode lead wire
If teh R-R interval on an EKG tracing is 5 LG squares, the heart rate for this pattern is 60bpm
The S wave is characterized as The first negative wave after R
The Q wave, if present, is always Negative
The PR interval is measured from The beginning of the P wave to the endo of the PR segment
There is always a P wave before EVERY QRS complex
The heart rate for this patient is 75bpm
The rhythm for this patient is Normal Sinus Rhythm
What is the duration of the PR interval .2 seconds
The first electrical impulse that is recorded on the EKG paper during a normal cardiac cycle P Wave
Several wave forms are defined as Complex
Movement away from the baseling is called Wave Form
A wave form and segment are called Interval
A line between wave forms is called Segment
The P wave is Atrial Depolarization
The PR segment is Delay at the AV node
The QRS complex is Atrial Depolarization
The ST segment is Pause between ventricle depolarization and ventricle polarization
The T wave is Ventricular repolarization
A small wve that appears after a T wave that is occasionally seen is called the ... U Wave
Who assigned the letters associated with the formation od the PQRS waves Einthoven
What is te correct order of the chain of infection Source, Means of Transmission, and susceptible host
A female pt complains about the EKG procedure ans states :its against my religion to be disrobed in front of male tech. The appropriate response would be Get a a female EKG technichican to perform the test
Which of the following test requires an informed consent signed by the pt Excercise cardiac stress test
If the pt asks about the test results, your response should be The doctor will give you your test results
