RELIAS DYSRHYTHMIA
ADVANCED WITH
MEASUREMENTS B EXAMINATION
Time Allocation: 90 Minutes
Approximate Number of Questions: 30
Question Format: Advanced ECG Interpretation and Clinical Decision-Making
Passing Standard: Determined by institutional competency requirements
CORE COMPETENCY DOMAINS
• Advanced ECG waveform interpretation
, • Dysrhythmia recognition and differentiation
• Cardiac conduction abnormalities
• Measurement and interval analysis
• Pharmacologic and electrical interventions
• Hemodynamic implications of arrhythmias
• Emergency cardiac response priorities
• Pacemaker rhythm identification
• Acute coronary syndrome rhythm recognition
• Clinical correlation and treatment prioritization
This competency-based assessment evaluates the clinician’s ability to
recognize, interpret, and appropriately respond to advanced cardiac
dysrhythmias using ECG analysis and evidence-based interventions.
Candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in rhythm identification,
interval measurement, conduction assessment, and prioritization of treatment
interventions within acute and critical care environments. The examination
reflects clinical situations commonly encountered in telemetry, emergency,
intensive care, and procedural settings where rapid interpretation and patient
stabilization are essential. Questions emphasize application of advanced
electrophysiology concepts rather than memorization alone.
Candidate Instructions: Read each question carefully before selecting the best
answer. All ECG measurements and clinical findings should be interpreted
using standard adult cardiac monitoring principles. Unless otherwise
indicated, assume the patient is an adult with continuous cardiac monitoring
in an acute care setting. This examination contains approximately 30
advanced multiple-choice questions. Choose the single best answer for each
item. Calculators are not required. Clinical judgment, prioritization, and ECG
measurement accuracy are essential for successful completion of this
assessment.

,Q1. A telemetry patient develops a regular narrow-complex tachycardia at a rate
of 178/min. P waves are not visible, blood pressure is 118/72 mmHg, and the
patient reports palpitations without chest pain. Which rhythm is MOST likely
present?
A. Sinus tachycardia
B. Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction
C. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
D. Ventricular tachycardia
Correct Answer: C. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
Explanation: SVT typically presents as a rapid, regular, narrow-complex
rhythm between 150–250/min with absent or buried P waves. The patient
remains hemodynamically stable, supporting SVT rather than unstable
tachycardia. Sinus tachycardia usually shows visible P waves and rarely
exceeds 160–170/min at rest. Atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction commonly
produces a ventricular rate near 150/min with flutter waves. Ventricular
tachycardia is usually wide-complex unless specifically described as fascicular
VT.
Q2. A patient’s ECG demonstrates a PR interval of 0.28 seconds with every
atrial impulse conducted to the ventricles. Which conduction abnormality is
present?
A. Second-degree AV block type II
B. First-degree AV block
C. Junctional rhythm
D. Third-degree AV block
Correct Answer: B. First-degree AV block
Explanation: A PR interval greater than 0.20 seconds with consistent
conduction of every P wave defines first-degree AV block. Second-degree type II
block would show intermittent dropped QRS complexes. Junctional rhythms
typically have absent or inverted P waves with short PR intervals. Third-degree
block involves complete AV dissociation between atrial and ventricular activity.
, Q3. A critically ill patient suddenly develops a wide-complex regular rhythm at
160/min without visible P waves. The patient is hypotensive and diaphoretic.
What is the priority intervention?
A. Administer adenosine rapidly IV push
B. Obtain a 12-lead ECG before intervention
C. Immediate synchronized cardioversion
D. Initiate vagal maneuvers
Correct Answer: C. Immediate synchronized cardioversion
Explanation: Unstable ventricular tachycardia with hypotension requires
synchronized cardioversion immediately. Delay for diagnostics risks cardiac
arrest. Adenosine may occasionally be used diagnostically in stable wide-
complex tachycardia but is inappropriate in instability. Vagal maneuvers are
ineffective for ventricular rhythms. A 12-lead ECG is helpful only if the patient
is stable enough to tolerate delay.
Q4. An ECG tracing reveals progressively lengthening PR intervals followed by
a dropped QRS complex. Which rhythm interpretation is correct?
A. Second-degree AV block Mobitz II
B. Third-degree AV block
C. First-degree AV block
D. Second-degree AV block Mobitz I
Correct Answer: D. Second-degree AV block Mobitz I
Explanation: Mobitz I (Wenckebach) is characterized by gradual PR
prolongation until one QRS complex is dropped. Mobitz II demonstrates
constant PR intervals with sudden dropped beats. First-degree block has no
dropped beats. Third-degree block demonstrates complete AV dissociation.
Q5. A patient with acute inferior myocardial infarction develops sinus
bradycardia at 38/min and dizziness. Blood pressure is 82/50 mmHg. Which
medication is MOST appropriate initially?
A. Lidocaine
B. Atropine
