rhythm shown has clearly visible P waves. Treatment should include
crystalloid fluid boluses. The patient's tachycardia is likely not of a primary
cardiac etiology; it is in response to dehydration. Therefore, interventions

either; again, this is not a primary cardiac dysrhythmia. As the patient is
properly rehydrated, the tachycardia should resolve on its own.
