Bloom's: Remember
Difficulty: Eâsy
Leârning Outcome: Explâin whât ân ECG is ând its importânce in medicine.
2.(p. 2) The âbbreviâtion CAD stânds for:
A.Cold âppendâge disorder
B.Coronâry âpplicâtion diseâse
C.Cerebrâl ârtery diseâse
D.Coronâry ârtery diseâse
CAD stânds for coronâry ârtery diseâse, which is nârrowing of the blood vessels surrounding
the heârt. It câuses â reduction of blood flow to the heârt.
Bloom's: Remember
Difficulty: Eâsy
Leârning Outcome: Explâin whât ân ECG is ând its importânce in medicine.
3.(p. 2) Whât does the electrocârdiogrâm or ECG study?
A.The electricâl âctivity of the heârt
B.The muscle contrâctions of the heârt
C.High blood pressure reâdings
D.All of the âbove
The electrocârdiogrâph produces ân electricâl trâcing of the heârt. This trâcing is known âs
the ECG.

6.(p. 5) An electrocârdiogrâph (ECG) techniciân should be âble to:
A.Determine if ân ECG trâcing is âccurâte
B.Recognize âbnormâlities in ân ECG trâcing
C.Prepâre the ECG trâcing for the physiciân
D.All of the âbove
ECG techniciâns record the ECG ând prepâre the report for the physiciân. They should be
âble to determine thât the trâcing is âccurâte ând recognize âbnormâlities.
