Hello All, 

A friend of mine is in nursing school preparing for a telemetry test in a few weeks. I am not that great at identifying tele strips. I am an looking for advice on easy ways to identify strips that I can share.

For number 7 I was torn between SVT and Atrial tachycardia. For 4.) junctional Rhthym and 5.) Idioventricular

However I feel like I could be wrong and I do not want to steer any in the wrong direction. Can you identify the strips.

I wanted to share a helpful resource for any other nurses who may struggle with telemetry.... https://lms.RN.com/getpdf.php/1714.pdf

 

P.s. I am a longterm care nurse so telemetry is not something I see at all. But I do try to be helpful to novice nurses whenever I can.
