dioxide and oxygen are exchanged?
-Ablation
-Aneurysm
-Alveoli
-Angina - ✔✔Alveoli
Ablation is the elimination of something
Aneurysm is a weakening and/or protrusion of a blood vessel or muscle
Angina is pain caused by disease that constricts the blood flow to the vessels of the heart
Alveoli are the air sacs in the lungs where the carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged
Of the following, which would be the most correct statement about pain?
-An unpleasant feeling of irregular beating of the heart
-An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild to severe
-When a person stomach is queasy and they have the urge to vomit
-None of the above - ✔✔An unpleasant sensation that can range from mild to severe
Palpitations is an unpleasant feeling of irregular beating of the heart
Nausea is when a persons stomach is queasy and they have the urge to vomit

Of the following, which would Quinidine be used to treat?
-Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
-Premature ventricular contractions
-Both A and B
-None of the above - ✔✔Both A and B
Quinidine is often used to treat:
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Premature ventricular contractions
Atrial fibrillationAtrial flutter
On a cardiac rhythm strip, which of the following can determine if the patient's heart rate is regular?
-The RR intervals being equal
-The PP intervals being equal
-The RR intervals being unequal
-Both A and B - ✔✔Both A and B
If the RR or PP intervals are not equal, then the rhythm is irregular. One of the most uncommon
rhythms that is always unequal is atrial fibrillation
Patients that are admitted to an intensive care unit are placed on a continuous cardiac monitoring
system. Which of the following would be considered correct for this type monitor?
,-It serves as a quick reference for the healthcare staff
-It can transmit a cardiac rhythm strip
-It provides a continuous display
-All of the above - ✔✔All of the above
When admitted to intensive care, the patient is typically connected to a bedside cardiac monitor.
When the patient is admitted to the cardiac floor, the cardiac monitor is typically portable and is worn
around the neck. This monitor serves as a quick reference for the healthcare staff, providing a
continuous display, and can also transmit a cardiac rhythm strip
Potential causes of PVC's can be which of the following conditions?
-Stimulants such as cocaine, coffee, nicotine or amphetamines
-Increased catecholamines
-Hypoxia
-All of the above - ✔✔All of the above
Some of the causes would include:
Stimulants such as cocaine, coffee, nicotine or amphetamines
Increased catecholamines
Hypoxia
Heightened emotions
AMI
CHF
Digitalis
Increased vagal tones
Acidosis
Hypokalemia
Hypomagnesemia
Ischemia
Open heart surgery
Sinus tachycardia:
-Causes the persons body to need more oxygen
-Causes the persons body to need less oxygen
-Causes the patient to be sleepy
-Causes the patient to be confused - ✔✔Causes the persons body to need more oxygen.
Because the patients heart is firing at a faster rate, it causes the body to demand more oxygen
The aVR lead picks up electrical activity from which of the following?
-The center of the heart to the right arm
-The center of the heart to the left leg
-The center of the heart to the left arm
-From the left arm to the left leg - ✔✔The center of the heart to the right arm
The center of the heart to the left leg: aVF
The center of the heart to the left arm: aVL
The center of the heart to the right arm: aVR
From the left arm to the left leg: lead III
The Bundle of His has an intrinsic firing rate of which of the following?
-40 to 60 beats per minute
-30 to 60 beats per minute
-60 to 80 beats per minute
, -80 to 100 beats per minute - ✔✔40-60 beats per minute
The Bundle of His is located at the superior portion of the interventricular septum. The Bundle of His
is actually the pathway of the electrical impulses that lead out of the SA node.
The ECG technician completed the ECG for a patient in respiratory isolation for tuberculosis and
prepares to leave the patient's room. When should the technician remove their N95 respirator mask?
-Prior to leaving the room
-The ECG technician would not be required to wear a mask
-After leaving the room
-Both B and C - ✔✔After leaving the room
Most of the PPE should be removed prior to leaving the patient's room. The N95 respirator should be
removed after leaving the room
The ECG technician completes vital signs on a patient. Which of these would be considered within
normal range?
-Blood pressure 117/76
-Heart rate 66
-Respirations 16
-All of the above - ✔✔All of the above
All of these are considered to be within normal range.
Normal blood pressure: 90/120 systolic and 60/90 diastolic
Heart rate: 60-100 beats per minute
Respirations: 16-20 breaths per minute
Temperature: 97.6 F -99.0 F
The ECG technician that is instructing the patient regarding the Holter monitor should tell them which
of the following?
-That a button down shirt or blouse is best to wear over the electrodes
-To go about their normal daily activities
-To avoid electrical appliances such as hairdryer or electric razors because they could interfere with
the ECG signals
-All of the above - ✔✔All of the above
When the patient is wearing a Holter monitor, the ECG needs to provide instructions to them:
That a button down shirt or blouse is best to wear over the electrodes
To go about their normal daily activities
To avoid electrical appliances such as hairdryer or electric razors because they could interfere with
the ECG signals
The patient should not shower while the Holter monitor is on
The patient should wear a Holter device (shoulder strap or a belt loop) to secure the monitor
The patient should keep a diary/log of their activity
The patient should document any important details such as chest discomfort, dizziness or skipped
heartbeats
