Explicación
## Step 1The problem is asking for the correct medical term that should be recorded as the reason for an EKG (Electrocardiogram) when a patient has a rapid heart rate. The options provided are Tachypnea, Bradypnea, Bradycardia, and Tachycardia.## Step 2Let's understand what each term means:- Tachypnea: This term refers to rapid breathing, not rapid heart rate.- Bradypnea: This term refers to slow breathing, not rapid heart rate.- Bradycardia: This term refers to a slower than normal heart rate, not a rapid heart rate.- Tachycardia: This term refers to a faster than normal heart rate.## Step 3Given the context of the problem, which is a rapid heart rate, the correct term to use would be Tachycardia.
