I don't want to confuse you, yatyu, but some individuals will experience tachy rates with bounding pulses. Normally, the individual will experience brady rates. So, it is dependant on the indivudual and which Ca channel blocker prescribed.

I would just ask your instructor... Maybe he/she can help explain it or maybe they might realized that they mispoke.
