On a cardiac rhythm strip, which of the following can determine if the
patients heart rate is regular?
The RR intervals being equal.
The PP intervals being equal.
The RR intervals being unequal.
Both A and B Ans: If the RR or PP intervals are not equal, then the rhythm is
irregular. One of the most uncommon rhythms
that is always unequal is atrial fibrillation.
If the physician orders a treatment for a patient that is supposed to help
prevent
something from occurring, it would be considered which of the following
Prophylaxis
Chronic treatment
Acute treatment
,2|Page
None of the above Ans: Chronic treatment would be over a length of time.
Acute treatment would be for sudden diagnosis.
Prophylaxis would be treatment that would attempt to prevent something
from occurring.
With a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), which of the following would be the
negative electrode position for lead II?
Right arm
Left arm
Right leg
Left leg Ans: The right arm would be the negative electrode position for lead
II. The left leg in lead II would be a positive electrode position. The right leg is
not included
in the lead I, II or III electrode positions.
If the sinus nodes fails to regulate the heart rhythm, it is considered which of
the following?
Septal defect
Idiopathic
,3|Page
SSS
Shunt Ans: Septal defect is a hole in the heart wall that separates the atria or
the ventricles.
Idiopathic is no known cause.
Shunt is something that allows blood to flow between two locations.
SSS is sick sinus syndrome or when the sinus node fails (is sick) and cannot
regulate the hearts rhythm.
The positive electrode in lead II is placed in which position on the patient?
Right chest area
Left chest area
Left leg
None of the above Ans: Right and left chest area would not be correct. The
left leg electrode is positive in Lead II.
The heart is made up of approximately how many cells?
200 hundred
One trillion
, 4|Page
Half a billion
10 thousand Ans: Approximately half a billion cells make up a standard
human heart. Most of them make up
the ventricular walls. There are approximately 100 million myocardial cells that
contract every
one third of a second.
If a patient is on continuous cardiac monitoring, which of the following leads
would most likely be seen on the monitor?
Lead III
Lead I
Lead II
All of the above Ans: The typical lead that is displayed on a cardiac monitor is
lead II. Most cardiac monitor have the ability of changing this to a different
lead, but this has to be done by the healthcare staff.
Of the following rhythms, which would not be considered a life-threatening
arrhythmia?
Ventricular fibrillation
Sinus rhythm with a 1st degree block
