Measuring and Interpreting Electrocardiogram (EKG) Rhythm Strips eLearning Simulation

This simulation is designed to enhance and illustrate the steps to be taken by healthcare students who have received initial instruction or information on measuring and interpreting electrocardiogram rhythm strips. This is accomplished by presenting EKG rhythm strips for the healthcare student to determine the rate and rhythm, and presence or absence of the P wave, PR interval, and QRS complex. Feedback is given indicating the reason for the interpretation of the strip.
