HCA EKG INTERPRETATION newest 2026
exams questions and answers already graded
A+ , Exams of Nursing
Atrial Fibrillation (F waves) - --ANS----Ventricular rate may be slow, normal, or fast; atrial rate
is greater than 350 bpm
-Totally irregular
-P waves absent, instead there is a chaotic-looking baseline
-PR intervals unmeasurable
Premature Junctional Complex - --ANS----Rate depends on underlying rhythm
-Irregular due to early beat
-Will be inverted-may precede, be buried in or follow the QRS complex
-QRS complexes normal
-PR intervals will be shorter than 0.12 seconds in duration
Junctional Escape Rhythm - --ANS----Rate 40 to 60 bpm
-Regular
, 2|Page
-P' waves are inverted; may appear before, during, or after the QRS complex
-QRS complexes are normal, all appear the same
-(PR intervals) if present, the P'R intervals will be shorter than normal
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm - --ANS----Rate 60 to 100 bpm
-Regular
-P' waves are inverted; may appear before, during, or after the QRS complex
-QRS complexes are normal & all appear the same
-(PR intervals) if present, the P'R intervals will be shorter than normal
Junctional Tachycardia - --ANS----Rate 100 to 180 bpm
-Regular
-P' waves are inverted; may appear before, during, or after the QRS complex
-QRS complexes are normal, all appear the same
-(PR intervals) if present the P'R intervals will be shorter than normal
Premature Ventricular Complexes - --ANS----Rate depends on underlying rhythm
-Irregular
-P' waves are not visible as they are hidden in the QRS complexes
-QRS complexes are wide and biz are in appearance, have T waves in the opposite direction of
the R wave
-(PR intervals) are absent
