Answer to Question 1

C
An idioventricular rhythm (IVR), which is also called a ventricular escape rhythm, exists when three or more ventricular escape beats occur in a row at a rate of 20 to 40 beats/min (i.e., the intrinsic firing rate of the Purkinje fibers). The QRS complexes seen in IVR are wide and bizarre because the impulses begin in the ventricles, bypassing the normal conduction pathway. When the ventricular rate slows to a rate of less than 20 beats/min, some practitioners refer to the rhythm as an agonal rhythm or dying heart.

Answer to Question 2

C
The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle.
