Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The PR interval ranges from 0.12 to 0.2 second and is the time it takes for the impulse initiated in the atria to travel through the atrioventricular node. The PR segment occurs between the end of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS interval, corresponds to the 0.1-second delay that occurs within the atrioventricular node. The PR segment is included in the PR interval. The QRS interval represents ventricular depolarization, and the ST segment represents ventricular depolarization.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The area between the heavy vertical lines on the electrocardiographi c paper represents 5.0 mm.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
