Answer to Question 1

B
Characteristics of atrial fibrillation:
Rhythm Ventricular rhythm usually irregularly irregular
Rate Atrial rate usually 400 to 600 beats/min; ventricular rate variable
P waves No identifiable P waves, fibrillatory waves present; erratic, wavy baseline
PR interval Not measurable
QRS duration 0.11 seconds or less unless abnormally conducted

Answer to Question 2

D
AVNRT is the most common type of SVT. It is caused by reentry in the area of the AV node.
