Question 2

Following the system is the key to prevention of missing

Answer 2

Information and findings

Question 3

The definition of rate is

Answer 3

Measuring rate are beats per minute on the ECG

Question 4

To figure rate count the number of beats and a

Answer 4

six second strip or 30 boxes and multiplied by 10

Question 5

Another way to figure rate is to find

Answer 5

An R wave that peaks on a heavy black line and start their. At the next heavy line, start counting 300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50, for each heavy line. The rate is at the assigned a number where the next R wave fall

Question 6

Look at the rhythm and ask these questions.
