Rationale 3:Stroke is associated with dysrhythmias.
Rationale 4: Myocardial infarction is associated with dysrhythmias.
Rationale 5: Diabetes isassociated with dysrhythmias.

Other conditions associated with dysthymias include cardiac valve diseases, medications, low potassium levels, and congestive heart failure. Arthritis is not associated with dysrhythmias.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1: Supraventricular dysrhythmias originate in the atria.
Rationale 2: Fibrillation is atrial or ventricular.
Rationale 3: Heart block is an area of nonconduction in the myocardium.
Rationale 4: Tachycardia is the speed at which the heart is beating.

Global Rationale: Supraventricular dysrhythmias originate in the atria. Fibrillation is irregular movement of the atrial or ventricular. Heart block is an area of nonconduction in the myocardium. Tachycardia is the speed at which the heart is beating.
