Question

identify this rhythm

• sinus tachycardia
• sinus rhythm with pvcs
• supraventricular tachycardia
• junctional tachycardia
• sinus rhythm with pjcs

Explanation:

Analyze the baseline rhythm

The underlying rhythm shows regular, upright P waves preceding narrow QRS complexes, indicating a normal sinus rhythm.

Identify ectopic beats

Two wide, bizarre QRS complexes occur prematurely (the second and fifth complexes on the strip) without preceding P waves, followed by compensatory pauses.

Classify the rhythm

The presence of premature, wide, and distorted QRS complexes within a normal sinus baseline confirms the rhythm is Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs).

Answer:

• Sinus Tachycardia
• Sinus Rhythm with PVC's (Correct answer)
• Supraventricular Tachycardia
• Junctional Tachycardia
• Sinus rhythm with PJC's
