CCI CCT TEST PAPER UPDATED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A+
✔✔The leads V1-V6 view the heart from which of the following planes?
Vertical plane
Horizontal plane
Semi-vertical plane
None of the above - ✔✔The frontal leads I, II, III, aVR, and aVF view the heart from a
vertical plane.
Leads V1-V6 view the heart from a horizontal plane.
✔✔A patient's heart rate is typically taken where?
Radial
Apical
Femoral
Both A and B - ✔✔The heart rate can be taken femorally, but is not the typical choice
for taking the heart rate.
A patient's heart rate is typically taken:
Radial
Apical
✔✔Of the following, which would be the correct term for the air sacs in the lungs
where the carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged?
Ablation
Aneurysm
Alveoli
Angina - ✔✔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 Quinidine be used to treat?
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Premature ventricular contractions
Both A and B
None of the above - ✔✔Quinidine is often used to treat:
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
Premature ventricular contractions
Atrial fibrillation
,Atrial flutter
✔✔Of the following, which is not one of the hearts electrical conduction systems?
AV bundle
9 volts
SA node
Purkinje fibers - ✔✔9 volts
This would be incorrect for one of the hearts electrical conduction system. The AV
bundle,
SA (sinoatrial) node, the AV (atrioventricular) node, the bundle branches, and the
purkinje
fibers are all part of the hearts system.
✔✔When preparing to perform an ECG, the technician should do which of the following
when applying the electrodes?
Place the electrodes over bony areas.
When opening the electrodes, make sure the gel
on them is still moist, if not there will not be a good
connection for the electrical activity of the heart.
Place the electrodes over areas where there
is a lot of muscle movement.
Place the electrodes over real hairy areas. - ✔✔The following would considered correct:
Do not place the electrodes over bony areas.
When opening the electrodes, make sure the gel on them is still moist, if not there will
not be a good connection for the electrical activity of the heart.
Do not place the electrodes over areas when there is a lot of muscle movement.
Do not place the electrodes over hairy areas.
✔✔Which of the following would be the correct term for the gas which is produced by
cellular metabolism and is collected in the
tissues?
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Carbon dioxide
None of the above - ✔✔Oxygen is an odorless gas that is in the air.
Nitrogen is a odorless and tasteless chemical element in the earth's atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is produced by cellular metabolism and collected in the
tissues.
✔✔If the left arm and right leg leads are reversed, which of the following might be seen
on the electrocardiogram?
, Reversal of leads aVR and aVF
Lead I and Lead II become identical
Lead III records a flat line.
Both B and C - ✔✔If the left arm and right leg leads are reversed, the following would
be seen:
Lead I becomes like lead II
Lead III records a flat line.
Lead aVL and aVF become identical
Lead aVR approximates an inverted lead II
✔✔Which of the following waves on an electrocardiogram would stand for
depolarization of the atrium?
QRS
P
T
W - ✔✔The P wave is what represents the hearts depolarization of the atrium. This is
when the heart is contracting.
✔✔Which of the following factors might interfere with the results of an
electrocardiogram?
Pregnancy
Certain medications
Ascites
All of the above - ✔✔Some of these factors might include:
Pregnancy
Certain medications
Ascites
Obesity
Electrolyte imbalances
Smoking prior to the procedure
Exercising prior to the procedure
Movement during the procedure
The size of the person's chest
The location of the patient's heart
✔✔Of the following, which vessels transport the deoxygenated blood to the heart?
Coronary arteries
Coronary veins
Both A and B
None of the above - ✔✔The coronary arteries carry the oxygenated blood to the
myocardium. The coronary
