Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The two premature ventricular contractions shown are characterized by the absence of a P wave, wide QRS complexes, and a lack of T waves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Repolarization of the ventricles is represented by the T wave. The PR interval is the time it takes for the impulse initiated in the atria to travel through the atrioventricular node. The ST segment occurs during ventricular depolarization, and the QRS complex represents ventricular depolariza-tion.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
