@navkirannursingclasses: Understanding the different rates in an ECG is crucial for interpreting heart function. Here’s a simple guide: 1. **Heart Rate (HR):** - Measure the number of QRS complexes (heartbeats) in a 6-second strip and multiply by 10. - Alternatively, use the formula: 1500 divided by the number of small squares between two R waves. 2. **Atrial Rate:** - Count the number of P waves in a 6-second strip and multiply by 10. - Use the same method as HR, but count the P waves instead of QRS complexes. 3. **Ventricular Rate:** - Similar to HR, count the number of QRS complexes in a 6-second strip and multiply by 10. **Steps:** 1. Obtain a 6-second ECG strip. 2. Identify and count the P waves (for atrial rate) and QRS complexes (for ventricular rate). 3. Use the respective formulas to calculate the rates. By following these steps, you can accurately determine the different rates in an ECG, aiding in better heart health monitoring. #nclex #nursingschool #nurse #nursing #nursingstudent #nurselife #nclexrn #rn #nclexstudying #nursesofinstagram #nclexprep #registerednurse #nclexquestions #nclexpass #nclexreview #nursesrock #lpn #nurses #nclextips #futurenurse #nclexpn #studentnurse #nursepractitioner #nclexhelp #medical #nclexexam #nursingschoolproblems #nclexpreparation #lvn #nclexstudy
