What action should be taken first when EKG tech notices the patient appears to be
hyperventilating during an exercise stress test? - ANSWER check the patient's
respiratory rate
Patient is wearing cardiac event monitor at home. What statement confirms understanding
of instructions? - ANSWER "i will continue to do my daily walk to the grocery store"
What speed setting should be used for a patient experiencing accelerated junctional
rhythm? - ANSWER 25 mm/second
(a patient who is experiencing accelerated junctional rhythm has a heart rate of 60-100/min)
What controls and regulates height of EKG wave-forms on a tracing? - ANSWER gain
Appropriate position for patient doing a nuclear stress test? - ANSWER supine with the
arms above the head, so the camera can rotate around the patient to produce a
multidimensional image
what leads detect electrical activity of the septal wall? - ANSWER leads V1 and V2
2
,what is the expected shape and direction of the P wave in lead II for a healthy adult patient?
- ANSWER rounded and upright
(normal atrial depolarization moves in the direction of the left leg, or the positive electrode,
causing an upright and rounded wave. this is an expected finding in a healthy adult patient)
patient exhibits ventricular fibrillation on the EKG tracing. What should the tech do first? -
ANSWER determine if the patient is responsive
What signs are present with a patient experiencing ventricular tachycardia? -
ANSWER multiple premature ventricular contractions (3 or more) in a row
Differentiate accelerated idioventricular rhythm from junctional rhythm? -
ANSWER accelerated idioventricular rhythm has wide QRS complexes
Rhythm strip should be at least how many seconds long to accurately identify rate and
rhythm? - ANSWER 6 seconds
Term for pulse oximetry reading of 88% - ANSWER hypoxemia (refers to low oxygen
levels in the blood. range is 95%+)
Smallest box on EKG graph paper that represents what length of time? - ANSWER 0.04
seconds
What activity should a patient record in Holter monitor diary? - ANSWER bike riding
How to resolve wandering baseline on a patient's EKG tracing? - ANSWER relieve
tension from the lead wires to ensure there is an effective connection to the EKG machine
3
, What position should the tech place the patient who is at 35 weeks of gestation? -
ANSWER slightly on the left side with a pillow supporting the right hip
What pulse rates is within expected reference range for a 2-year-old patient? -
ANSWER 120/min
(a child that is 1-2 yrs old pulse ranges: 80-140/min)
What should you tell a patient who is using a Holter monitor and runs 5 miles a day? -
ANSWER "you should continue exercising as usual while wearing the monitor".
What statement made by an EKG tech correctly prepares the patient for telemetry
monitoring? - ANSWER "i will clean your skin with an alcohol pad"
(or soap and water)
What action should be taken when performing an exercise stress test to evaluate a patient
for coronary vascular disease? - ANSWER report unexpected dysrhymias during the
test
What limb should the tech check first when noticing that none of the leads are giving a
reading? - ANSWER right leg, because all leads share this electrode
what statement by the patient should the tech enter into the social history section? -
ANSWER "i have smoked cigarettes for a long time"
(social history pertains to a patient's lifestyle, including living situation, alcohol use, nicotine
use, and exercise habits)
