What rhythm has a normal rate, irregular rhythm, different P waves, a normal QRS?
Wandering atrial pacemaker
What are the sights and symptoms of AF?

What are the nursing interventions for AF?
Assess or, give O2, IV access, prepare for caddioversion

Junctional rhythm
What rhythm has a rate of 101-180, regular rhythm, absent inverted or buried P waves?
Junctional tachycardia
What rhythm has a normal rate, a full dropped PQRST complex, irregular rhythm when block occurs and a normal P wave except when the complex is dropped?
SA block
What rhythm has a rate dependent on the underlying condition, an irregular rhythm whenever there is an escape beat, no or inverted P waves, no or short PR interval and a normal QRS?
Junctional escape beat
