1. Where would you place electrodes on a patient with a left leg amputation??-
ANS >>> torso, trunk
2. You notice small waves on the ECG< what could you do ? ANS >>> increase
size by increasing the gain
3. The angle of louis reflects the location of the ANS >>> 2nd rib
4. A patient with a wide QRS is at risk for ANS >>> ventricular arrythmias
5. The first step during the operation of an AED is ANS >>> turn the AED ON
6. You can reduce the presence of somatic tremor or artifact by ANS >>>
covering the patient
7. How to identify Atrial Flutter ANS >>> presence of sawtooth waves

, 8. When applying the chest electrodes and the patient has large breasts, you
shoul ANS >>> ask the patient to lift the breast
9. How many electrodes do you apply for a 12-lead ECG ANS >>> 10
10. the best way to identify the patient is to ANS >>> check the wrist ID band
with the order, ask the patient name and DOB
11. If someone like a friend or family member asks for a copy of the patient's
ECG, what would be the best response ANS >>> PT records are
confidential(HIPAA)
12. What is the significance of having the ECG in the EMR ANS >>>
(baseline)diagnostic test that can be used for comparison in the future
13. How is the QT interval measured? ANS >>> beginning of QRS to end of T wav
14. ECG control that affects amplitude ANS >>> the gain button
15. You are applying electrodes for telemetry monitoring to a patient with
sensitive skin,what should you do? ANS >>> decrease pressure when abrading
the skin
16. During a stress test, you should observe the patient for? ANS >>>
fatigue and/or hyperventilation
17. How do you identify atrial pacing? ANS >>> a pacemaker spike followed by a
wave
18. the ECG represents the ANS >>> electrical activity of the heart
