What is BP cuff inflated to? - 30-40 mmHg above the palpatory systolic pressure and
released to drop 2-3 mmHg per second
Hg in BP measurement stands for this - Mercury
Branch responsible for the identification of various hazards present in the workplace
and the creation of rules and regulations to minimize exposure - OSHA
This is required by Chemical Safety Regulations - Label all chemicals with MSDS
Most surgical instruments are sterilized by this - Steam sterilization/Autoclave
Droplets can travel how far? - Less than 3 feet
Standard running speed of the EKG reading - 25mm/sec
Who invented the EKG? - Einthoven
Pt having mild chest pain might be prescribed this - Nitroglycerin
Liquid portion of blood is called - Plasma
,Thromobocytes assist in - Clotting
Government based health insurance for people over 65 and others with certain
disabilities - Medicare
CPR Ratio - 30 Compressions : 2 Breaths
Medical Asepsis - The destruction of pathogenic microorganisms AFTER they leave the
body through Standard Precautions and Transmission Based Precautions
Standard Precautions and Transmission-based Precautions are control measures
aimed at preventing the spread of disease at what point in the Chain of Infection - Portal
of Exit
Organization that issued the guidelines known as Standard and Universal Precautions -
CDC
Because of the nature of airborne precautions this is needed to prevent transmission -
Ventilation
Where you would find the spelling for a medication? - Physician Desk Reference
Where is V2 lead located - 4th intercostal space, left sternal border
Where is V5 lead located - 5th intercostal space, anterior axillary line
Poor tracings due to sweat or lotion would lead to this on an EKG - Wandering baseline
Most critical step in pt testing - Identifying the pt
Which urinalysis would you use to test for bacteria? - Clean Catch Specimen
Codes used to describe encounters with circumstances other than disease or injury -
ICD-9
Supplemental codes that capture the external cause of injury or poisoning, the intent
and the place it occured - E codes
The sounds an MA listens for during a BP - Korotkoff sounds
CMS-1500 Form is aka - Superbill
Post-prandial - After a meal
Complication from repeated venipuncture of the same vein - Phlebitis
, Bacteria, viruses, fungus or parasites belong to which type of hazard - Biologic
Isolation precautions are condensed into 3 categories: - Airborne, Droplet and Contact
Unit of measure on a standard Rx - Micrograms/mcg
Amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute is called - Cardiac Output
Q wave is always - Negative
First electrical impulse recorded on EKG - P wave
Movement away from the baseline on an EKG is called - Wave form
Several wave forms on an EKG are called - Complex
A wave form and a segment on an EKG - Interval
A line between waveforms on an EKG - Segment
Specific coding instructions for each CPT section are located here - Guidelines
Required when general practitioner sends pt to a specialist - Method of referral
The shallow wave that follows the T wave represents - Late ventricular repolarization
Rhythm indicated by absence of/or inverted P waves - Junctional
Inferior wall MI is shown in what leads - II, III, AVF
Leads 1 and AVL show broken recording, you should - Check Left Arm
Three lead EKG monitor - I, II, III
Why increase the speed of the EKG - Increase speed widens wave forms
Placement of leads V1-V6 is important to diagnose - Left ventricular
Why place V3 on right side of chest on an infant - To prevent crowding of the leads
Dextrocardia - When heart is on opposite side of the body
Lead combo for Lateral wall acute MI - Leads I, AVL, V5 & V6
ST Segment Elevation indicates - Cardiac injury in progress
