Answer:

a. Absent p wave is present in atrial fibrillation.

b. Abnormally long QRS complex is present in right or left bundle branch block.

c. Abnormally long PR interval is present in first degree heart block.

d. extra QRS complexes are present in abnormal pacemaker or abnormal conducted beat.

Explanation:

By reading the ECGS we can fine a number of abnormalities by simply locating problems in P, QRS, T waves, PR intervals and ST segments.

Absent P wave in an ECG represents Atrial fibrillation or sinoatrial arrest. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm  also know as arrhythmia characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atrial chambers of the heart.

Abnormally long QRS complex represents Right or left bundle branch block, hyperkalemia, drug induced or abnormal ventricular rhythm.

Abnormally long PR interval represents heart block. The PR interval reflects impulse conduction from the atria to the ventricles is normal. A long PR interval  indicates a slowing of conduction between the atria and ventricles, usually due to slow conduction through the atrioventricular node (AV node). This is known as first degree heart block.

Extra QRS complexes represents abnormal pacemaker conductivity.

Answer: The question is not arranged well,below is the correct arrangement;

You are presented with a stack of ECGs on your first day of your cardiology rotation and are given a instruction: "Read them." As you progress through the pile, you note the following abnormalities. Explain from where in the heart or cardiac conduction system each abnormality might have come;

a. Absent p waves

a. Abnormally long QRS complex

b. Abnormally long P-R interval

c. Extra QRS complexes.

Explanation: This indicated a problem in the sinoatrial node, as it is not generating the depolarization that spreads through the atria to lead to the P wave.

An ECG ( electrocardiogram) is a test that measures the electrical activity of the heart to show whether the heart is working normally or not.

Answer:

Treatment facility staff can be guilty of false imprisonment if the patient is arrested at the facility without the need for treatment.

Explanation:

False arrest is considered a very serious crime, and is characterized by a situation where someone is prevented (by someone else) from leaving or walking in a certain area, ie the person is detained. However, it is important to remember that not every detention can be accused of false imprisonment, in some cases the law allows a person to be detained against his will. Facility staff can be convicted of false imprisonment if the patient being prevented from leaving does not need treatment, but if the patient needs treatment it is irresponsible for the facility to let him out.

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

While this may seem minute, I think the overallinvolvement with the animal makes it harder towork with livestock and larger animals. Whenworking with smaller animals, such as dogs orcats, they can be set up on a table or held forexamination. On the other hand, these largeranimals are much harder to work with as theyare not as domesticated at the other might be.Often times the larger animals will become fussyand can potentially hurt the veterinarian.Especially in many cases where the animalexpresses its pain through anger.
