#### EKG Interpretation Practice
The document represents a series of EKG strips numbered 37, 38, and 39. Each strip is accompanied by specific criteria for interpretation, including rhythm, rate, QRS complexes, P waves, P-R interval, and an interpretation field. Here is a detailed walkthrough of each EKG strip:
#### EKG Strip 37

- **Rate:** (Information not provided)
- **P Waves:** (Information not provided)
- **QRS Complexes:** (Information not provided)
- **P-R Interval:** (Information not provided)
- **Interpretation:** (Information not provided)
#### EKG Strip 38
- **Rhythm:** Regular
- **Rate:** 34
- **P Waves:** None

- **Interpretation:** Junctional Brady
#### EKG Strip 39
- **Rhythm:** Irregular
- **Rate:** (Information not provided)
- **P Waves:** (Information not provided)
- **QRS Complexes:** (Information not provided)
- **P-R Interval:** (Information not provided)
- **Interpretation:** (Information not provided)
### Explanation of Terms
1. **Rhythm:** This refers to the regularity or pattern of the heartbeats.
- **Regular Rhythm:** Heartbeats occurring at regular intervals.
- **Irregular Rhythm:** Heartbeats occurring at irregular intervals.
2. **Rate:** The speed of the heart rhythm, typically expressed in beats per minute (bpm).
3. **P Waves:** These signify atrial depolarization. The presence or absence of P waves can indicate various types of heart activities or issues.
4. **QRS Complexes:** Represent ventricular depolarization. Their shape and duration can indicate normal or abnormal conduction through the ventricles.
- **Narrow QRS:** Indicates that the ventricular depolarization is occurring rapidly through the normal pathways.
5. **P-R Interval:** Time interval between the onset of atrial depolarization and the onset of ventricular depolarization.
6. **Interpretation:** The analysis and diagnosis based on the observed characteristics in the EKG strip.
### Graph Explanations
The EKG strips are graphical representations of electrical activity in the heart over time. Each small square on the

When a friend distracts his attention, he runs head-on into a planter and is thrown over the planter b0x onto the concrete, landing on his left side. He immediately experiences pain in his left side, left wrist, and abdomen. His left wrist is angulated and obviously broken. A head-to-toe assessment demonstrates small, superficial scrapes on the patient's forehead and left cheek. His facial structures appear to be intact. Neurologically, he is normal, with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score of 14. He has no complaints of shortness of breath, and his chest wall shows no obvious external injury. An x ray of his left wrist shows a comminuted fracture of his left radius and ulna. Angus is taken to the operating room for orthopaedic repair of his left wrist. After surgery, he is admitted to the orthopaedic floor with orders for pain medication as…arrow_forwardunable to shrug his shoulders. What nerve might be damaged?arrow_forward
