Green stick
A wound culture may be obtained from the drainage of a?
Laceration
A medical assistant should never
Give a diagnosis
osteo arthritis
also known as "old-age arthritis" where cartilage in joints degrades, resulting in painful bone-to-
bone contact & friction, including deposition of bone into the joint as above.
Anemia caused by a deficiency in vitamin B 12 is
Pernicious
hemolytic anemia
anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells
sickle cell anemia
a genetic disorder that causes abnormal hemoglobin, resulting in some red blood cells assuming an
abnormal sickle shape
aplastic anemia
failure of blood cell production in the bone marrow
hemorrhagic
a blood vessel, such as the cerebral artery, breaks and bleeding occurs
hemorrhagic anemia
excessive blood loss
A small, portable, cardiac monitor worn by the patient for 24 hours
Holster monitor
arteriogram
radiographic image of an artery (after an injection of contrast media)
, ultrasonogram
procedure using sound waves to create an image of internal organs
stress test
exercise tolerance test (ETT) determines the heart's response to physical exertion (stress)
echocardiogram
ultrasound of the heart
A cardiac cycle is represented on an ECG by which of the following
PQRST
The chest or precordial leads are?
unipolar
To perform a 12 lead ECG the required number of electrons is?
10
The electrode placement at the RA and LL produce:
Lead II
Automatic, external defibrillation
AED; purpose is to stop the disorganized electrical activity of the heart
Ventricular tachycardia occurs when
ventricles beat too fast
Each small horizontal block on the ECG paper represents
0.04 seconds
Lead III records electrical activity between the...
left arm to left leg
Function of the heart
to act as a pump to send blood throughout the body.
Blood flow through the heart
SVC --> Rt atria --> Tricuspid --> Rt ventricle --> Pulmonic valve --> Lungs --> Lt atria --> Mitral valve --
> Lt ventricle --> aortic valve --> aorta --> Body
Conduction system of the heart
Generates and delivers (conducts) the electricity to all the muscle fibers of the heart resulting in a
smooth, complete contraction of the cardiac muscle fibers, which forcefully ejects the blood outside
the heart.
