CCT EXAM PRACTICE (EE2) TEST WITH SOLUTIONS
When a clinician is interpreting a rhythm, the first thing they should consider if the rhythm is
irregular is to check further for atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is always irregular. Also
there are no P waves with atrial fibrillation
Which of the following is the classic sign for first degree heart block, type 1?
-A rate of 120
-A PR interval that is prolonged
-A widened QRS
-No P waves are seen Correct Ans-A PR interval that is prolonged
With first degree heart block, type 1, the PR interval is prolonged. The PR interval is > 0.2
seconds
Which of the following cardiac leads will show an inferior wall MI?
-II, III, aVF
-V1, V2, V3, and V4
-V1 and V2
-I, aVL, V5, and V6 Correct Ans-II, III, and aVF
, CCT EXAM PRACTICE (EE2) TEST WITH SOLUTIONS
V1, V2, V3, and V4 would be anterior wall MI
V1 AND V2 would be anteroseptal MI
I, aVL, V5, and V6 would be lateral wall MI
II, III, aVF would be inferior wall MI
Which of the following statements would be correct about the heart?
-The heart is constantly pumping blood to different parts of the body
-The heart intermittently pumps blood to different parts of the body
-The heart is not a muscular organ of the body
-All of the above Correct Ans-The heart is constantly pumping blood to different parts of
the body.
The heart is a muscular organ. It constantly pumps blood to the different parts of the
body.The cardiac muscles are strong and help to facilitate rhythmic contractions
When giving instructions to the patient in preparation for the stress echocardiogram, the ECG
technician should include all but which of the following?
-The patient will have to exercise on a treadmill/supine bicycle for about 6-10 minutes
-The patient will need to run approximately 100 yards
-The patient would need to disrobe from the waist up and be provided a gown to wear
, CCT EXAM PRACTICE (EE2) TEST WITH SOLUTIONS
-Wear tennis shoes or comfortable walking shoes Correct Ans-The patient will need to run
approximately 100 yards
This exam compares both the resting and exercise ultrasound images of the heart. Some of
the instructions might include:
The patient will have to exercise on a treadmill/supine bicycle for about 6-10 minutes
The patient would need to disrobe from the waist up and provided a gown to wear
Wear tennis shoes or comfortable walking shoes
Wear comfortable clothes to exercise in
Take medications as usual unless otherwise instructed
The heart rate for sinus bradycardia would be considered which of the following?
-Less than 100 beats per minute
-Less than 50 beats per minute
-Less than 40 beats per minute
-Less than 60 beats per minute Correct Ans-Less than 60 beats per minute
Athletes commonly have bradycardia.
Problems that could occur with the lead wires used for the ECG that could cause artifact
would not include?
, CCT EXAM PRACTICE (EE2) TEST WITH SOLUTIONS
-Newly replaced lead wires
-Breaks in the wires
-Poor contact at the snap connection
-Both B and C Correct Ans-Newly replaced lead wires
If the lead wires have been replaced with new ones, they would probably not be the problem.
Some of the conditions that can occur would include:
Breaks in the wires
Poor contact at the snap connection
Loose pins at the cable end of the lead wires
Breaks in the conductors of the lead wires/patient cables
Which of the following would be the most correct statement about an organic disorder?
-There would be no physical changes
-With an organic disorder, there would be physical changes
-It would be the nature of the disorder
-It would be the latent period of the disease Correct Ans-With an organic disorder, there
would be physical changes
