Atrial Fibrillation
Instructions
All of us learn by applying what we know, thus this assignment allows you to use terms you learned about the Conductive system, ECG and clinical use of pulse and blood pressure. There is a video as well as several Talon Tutorials to view.
Objectives:
Define pulse, blood pressure, hypertension, systemic and diastolic pressures. Relate these to the case study.
Relate the conductive system to the events of the ECK.
Define atrial fibrillation. Using atrial fibrillations state how an abnormal conductive pathway could affect the ECG and the body.
Procedure:
Download the attached student case study & worksheet.
Read the case study and follow the directions. You will view a YouTube video, and view 3 Talon
Tutorials that will help you answer the questions on this assignment.
