Answer to Question 1

D
To evaluate the regularity of the atrial rhythm on a rhythm strip, the interval between two consecutive P waves is measured. The distance between succeeding P-P intervals is measured and compared. If the atrial rhythm is regular, the P-P intervals will measure the same.

Answer to Question 2

T
When viewing a 12-lead ECG, leads that line up vertically are simultaneous recordings of the same beat. When you read the 12-lead ECG from left to right, the ECG tracing is continuous. As you switch from one lead to the next, it is still continuous.
