Part 2: Short Answer and Critical Thinking You are working on the telemetry unit in a regional hospital. Patients admitted to the telemetry unit are often in critical condition and require constant monitoring, including vital signs and EKGs. You are sitting at the nurses' station charting your recent care of a patient. As you look up at the telemetry monitors, you observe the following. CARDIO PHYSIOLOGY e-ASSIGNMENT Patient 1 16. The rhythm shown above is lacking ____ waves. 17. EKG analysis indicates that Patient 1's ____ are not contracting. 18. As calculated by the 'big square method', Patient 1's heart rate is approximately ____ bpm. 19. This rate is ____ the normal range. (faster than/within/slower than) 20.
