1. Choice C is the correct answer. Wandering Atrial Pacemaker on an EKG has P waves that are of various shapes and places. The reason the strip looks this way is that the origin of the pacemaker is coming from different areas in the atria. In a junctional rhythm, there is inverted P waves occurring before during and after the QRS complex. These P waves are not inverted. Second Degree Type II is when there is just a dropping of the QRS complex without lengthening PR intervals. This is not occurring either. Third Degree AV Block is when there is complete AV disassociation which is not occurring either. When this occurs there P waves and the QRS complexes are occurring independently and they occur equal distance between themselves between each beat.
