Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

F waves are associated with atrial flutter, therefore the appropriate documentation would be "Atrial flutter present on telemetry." Premature ventricular contractions (A) and ventricular fibrillation (B) are unrelated to F waves, and atrial fibrillation (D) is associated with irregularly irregular rhythm with no discernable P waves, not F waves.
