Exam 4: Heart Rate

Heart rates below _____ beats per minute in the adult are considered abnormal.

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 8 has a ________ rate.

Heart rates above _____ beats per minute in the adult are considered abnormal.

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 18 has a ________ rate.

You are using the 6-second interval x 10 method to assess an ECG tracing. You note there are 9 QRS complexes in a six second portion of the ECG tracing. This patient's heart rate is ___ beats per minute.

To calculate the heart rate using the 6-second interval x 10 method:

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 14 has a ________ rate.

You are using the 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50 method to determine the heart rate. You locate an R wave that falls on a bold line on the ECG paper. The next consecutive R wave after your starting points falls directly on the 4th bold line. This patient's heart rate is ______ beats per minute.

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 6 has a ________ rate.

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 16 has a ________ rate.

You are using the 6-second interval x 10 method to assess an ECG tracing. You note there are 18 QRS complexes in a six second portion of the ECG tracing. This patient's heart rate is ___ beats per minute.

Which of the following is the best method for calculating the heart rate in an irregular rhythm?

Which method of determining the heart rate is the least accurate?

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 12 has a ________ rate.

The patient whose heart rate is identified in question 10 has a ________ rate.

When counting the heart rate it is important to count both the atrial and ventricular rates.

You are using the 1500 method to determine the heart rate. You count the number of small squares between two consecutive R waves and determine there are 30. This patient's heart rate is ______ beats per minute.

You are using the 6-second interval x 10 method to assess an ECG tracing. You note there are 22 QRS complexes in a six second portion of the ECG tracing. This patient's heart rate is ___ beats per minute.

A slow heart rate results in there being less distance between consecutive R waves.

You are using the 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50 method to determine the heart rate. You locate an R wave that falls on a bold line on the ECG paper. The next consecutive R wave after your starting points falls directly on the 3rd bold line. This patient's heart rate is ______ beats per minute.
