ADVENT HEALTH EKG EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS UPDATED (2024/2025)
(VERIFIED ANSWERS)
Sinus Tachycardia - ANS ✓These rhythms follow all the criteria for NSR except
for the rate.
• Rate: Atrial and Ventricular 100-150
Sinus Bradycardia - ANS ✓These rhythms follow all the criteria for NSR except
for the rate.
• Rate: Atrial and Ventricular < 60
Sinus Arrythmia - ANS ✓• Impulse starts in the SA Node but activity varies with
respirations
• Rate: Atrial and Ventricular are 60-100, but varies (slower or faster)
• Rhythm: Atrial and Ventricular is irregular (P-P and R-R intervals are irregular)
• P waves: Normal and each is followed by a QRS
• PRI: constant and within normal limits
• QRS: within normal limits
Sinus Pause/Arrest - ANS ✓Underlying rhythm meets criteria for a sinus
rhythm [SR, SB, ST] except for the missed beat(s) or
pause
• Underlying rhythm must first be identified!
narrow complex supraventricular tachycardia (NCSVT) - ANS ✓Impulse
originates above the ventricles

• NCSVT is an umbrella term for rhythms meeting the following criteria
1. Regular Ventricular rhythm & rate > 150
2. QRS: 0.04 - 0.10 [normal limits]
• P waves may be seen but are often lost in the T waves: Atrial rate, Atrial rhythm
and
PRI is non-measurable [N/A]
Atrial Flutter - ANS ✓The impulse originates in the Atria
• The Atrial rate is 250-350 and rhythm regular
• The PRI is not measurable (N/A) - Characteristic saw-tooth wave.
• The Ventricular rhythm may be regular or irregular
• QRS within normal limits
• If the Ventricular rate is < 100 it is controlled Atrial Flutter; if the Ventricular
rate is
> 100 it is uncontrolled Atrial flutter
Junctional Tachycardia - ANS ✓Same criteria as Junctional Rhythm, except the
Ventricular rate is 100-150
Premature atrial complexes - ANS ✓The impulse is an irritable focus within
the Atrium which fires prematurely
and produces a single ectopic beat
• Key to diagnosis: early P wave noted, which may appear slightly different
than other P waves but PRI within normal limits
• Conduction through the ventricles usually normal: QRS within normal limits
• Underlying rhythm must first be identified!
Premature Junctional Complex - ANS ✓Impulse is from the AV junction
• Conduction through the ventricles remains normal
• QRS typically within normal limits
