1. Atrial flutter always has a regular, recurrent atrial rhythm. True or False.
2. The atrial rate is between:
A. 100 and 300 BPM
B. 200 and 300 BPM
C. 250 and 350 BPM
D. 140 and 160 BPM
3. The ventricular response is between:
A. 75 and 175 BPM
B. 100 and 300 BPM
C. 200 and 300 BPM
D. 200 and 400 BPM
E. 140 and 160 BPM
4. The atrial complexes in atrial flutter are known by two names: _________ or ________.
5. The baseline between the F waves can be isoelectric for short periods of time. True or False.
6. Atrial flutter involves the formation of a ___________ circuit in the ________ atrium.
7. Part of the criteria for any reentry circuit is an area of slower conduction. This area slows the impulse just enough to allow the original depolarization site time to repolarize and be ready to fire again. True or False.
8. Normal AV nodal conduction rates in atrial flutter include:
A. 2:1
B. 3:1
C. 4:1
D. 6:1
E. All of the above
9. When discussing atrial flutter, we usually use the term block rather than conduction to signify that the AV node is functioning normally but blocking the impulse from going through to the ventricles. True or False.
10. Most of the direct causes of atrial flutter can be summed up in the mnemonic ____ ____ ____.
