41. Choice C is the correct answer. EKG changes associated with a pulmonary embolus are as follows: Lead I large S wave, Lead II ST depression, Lead III a Q wave with an inverted T wave. There is typically T wave inversion in leads V1-V4. There may also be a right bundle branch block present. Pericarditis would typically have diffuse ST elevation. Hyperkalemia will have peaked T waves and hypercalcemia causes the QT interval to be shortened.
