yielding a reading. Which of the following limbs should the technician check to correct the
error? - ANSWER Left leg. (The left leg is involved in recording electrical activity in
2
, leads II and III. Therefore, the technician should check the left leg electrode to correct this
error.)
An EKG technician is preparing a patient for Holter monitor placement. Which of the
following actions should the technician take to reduce the chance of artifacts on the tracing?
- ANSWER Use stress loops on the electrodes to reduce tension on the leads. (The
technician can use stress loops to relieve tension on the leads, which will reduce artifacts.)
An EKG technician is caring for a patient who is experiencing heart palpitations. Which of the
following interventions should the technician expect the provider to prescribe? -
