NSG 320 FINAL PAPER 2026 ACCURATE
ANSWER SET
◉The length of the QRS complex . Answer: Represents ventricular
depolarization and atrial repolarization
◉Length of the T-wave . Answer: Represents ventricular
repolarization
◉Normal sinus rhythm . Answer: Heartbeat has to be within 60-100
bpm
◉Each box on a ECG strip represents how many seconds? . Answer:
0.2 second
◉15 boxes together on a EGC strip equals how many seconds? .
Answer: 3 seconds
◉5 boxes together on a EGC strip equals how many seconds? .
Answer: 1 second
,◉The most common way to monitor the heart . Answer: Client
wears a 3 or 5 lead ECG
- Leads are attached directly to the client and connect to a monitor
- Also, the leads connect to a tele monitor that transmits the data to a
bank of monitors where someone watches them for changes
◉What does it mean if someone is on a 12 lead ECG . Answer: - This
is used to diagnose specific types of dysrhythmias and heart attacks
- This is a one time test that lasts about 1 minute
- It is not used for continuous monitoring
◉Normal P-R Interval . Answer: 0.12- 0.20 seconds / 3-5 small
squares
◉Normal QRS Width . Answer: 0.08- 0.12 seconds/ 2-3 small
squares
◉Normal Q-T interval . Answer: 0.35-0.43 seconds
◉In a normal heart what conducts first? . Answer: SA node
◉The SA node represents which waveform on the ekg? . Answer:
The P-wave
, ◉You have to have what wave followed by the QRS complex? .
Answer: P- wave
◉For a normal rhythm, you must have what type of interval between
QRS complexes? . Answer: Equal intervals between
◉Easy rhythm analysis . Answer: Count the r-waves in the 6 second
strip x by 10= heart rate
◉Sinus Tachycardia . Answer: Heart rate is 100-150
◉Sinus Tachycardia shows what on the ECG strip? . Answer: -
Consistent P wave
- P wave rate is constant
- Each P wave is followed by a QRS complex
- QRS complexes are of normal width (slim)
- The intervals between QRS complexes are equal
◉Causes on Sinus Tachycardia . Answer: Exercise
Fever
Caffeine
Stimulants
