Define how to calculate the rate of an irregular rhythm and how and why it
should be used. - CORRECT ANSWER-The range of an irregular heart rate can be
determined by calculating the heart rate of the QRS complexes closest together
and the QRS complexes furthest apart. The two rates can be calculated using the
block or memory method.
Regarding irregular heart rates, how do you perform the 6 second method? How
do you perform the 10 second method? *NOTE, NREMT DOES NOT BELIEVE THIS
METHOD EXISTS, BUT IT IS GOOD TO KNOW ANYWAY - CORRECT ANSWER-
Viewing the rhythm strip, on a 6-second strip count the number of QRS complexes
and multiply by 10. For a 10 second strip, count the number of QRS complexes
