Question

question 3 of 5
what is the rhythm? (select your answer)
sinus tachycardia
ventricular fibrillation
atrial flutter
ventricular tachycardia

Explanation:

Ventricular tachycardia is characterized by a rapid heart rhythm originating from the ventricles. On an electrocardiogram (ECG), it typically shows a wide - QRS complex tachycardia. In ventricular fibrillation, the ECG shows chaotic, irregular electrical activity with no distinct QRS complexes. Sinus tachycardia has a normal QRS complex (narrow) with a rapid rate. Atrial flutter has a characteristic "flutter" waves (saw - toothed pattern) before the QRS complexes. The given rhythm strip shows a regular, wide - QRS complex tachycardia, which is consistent with ventricular tachycardia.

Answer:

D. Ventricular Tachycardia
