CH 9 Introducing the Junctional Rhythms

Question 0

contrary ( or opposite ) to the normal expected path of movement

Answer 0

Retrograde

Question 1

rhythms that are initiated in the area of AV junction

Answer 1

Junctional Rhythms

Question 2

initiate from a single site in the AV junction and arise earlier than the next anticipated complex of the underlying rhythm

Answer 2

Premature Junctional Contractions ( PJC’s)

Question 3

the pause that occurs after an ectopic beat, when the SA node is depolarized

Answer 3

Noncompensatory Pause

Question 4

when the SA node fails to generate an impulse or if the rate of impulse generation falls below that of the AV node, then the AV node will assume the role of the pacemaker, the resulting rhythm is called a junctional escape rhythm

Answer 4

Junctional escape rhythm

Question 5

increased automaticity in the AV junction,causing the junction to discharge impulses at a rate faster than its intrinsic rate

Answer 5

Accelerated Junctional Rhythm

Question 6

rhythm arising from the AV junctional tissue at a rate of

100 to 180 BPM

Answer 6

Junctional Tachycardia Rhythm

Question 7

rhythm observed to start or end abruptly

Answer 7

Paroxysmal Rhythm

Question 8

A junctional tachycardia rhythm that is observed to begin or end abruptly

Answer 8

Paroxysmal Junctional Tachycardia ( PJT ) Rhythm
