Question 1: To minimize artifact, what must be done?

Answer:

Attach electrode patches securely and tell the patient not to move during the EKG Question 2: The most common cause for the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave to be inverted in Lead I is

Answer:

Incorrect lead placement Question 3: Your patient for a 12-lead EKG has no legs as a result of bilateral amputations.Where should you put the leg electrode?

Answer:

On the lower abdomen above where the legs would be Question 4: If there is artifact in leads II, III, and aVF, on which limb(s) would you expect to find the cause of the artifact?

Answer:

Left leg

Question 5: On your patient's 12-lead EKG, lead I's waves and complexes are completely negative. AVR's waves and complexes are completely positive. The most likely cause of this is

Answer:

Right and left arm leads inadvertently reversed Question 6: If artifact is seen in leads I, III, and aVL, the problem is on which limb?

Answer:

Left arm

Question 7: Microshock is different from macroshock in that microshock is

Answer:

A lower-voltage electrical shock

Question 8: A digital converter on the EKG machine

Answer:

Converts the analog signal to a digital one

Question 9: Small adhesive patches with conductive gel on the skin side are

Answer:

Electrodes Question 10: Electrical shock is LEAST likely to be caused by which of the following?

Answer:

Properly maintained EKG machine Question 11: Your patient is having chills. What kind of artifact can this produce?

Answer:

Somatic Tremors Question 12: The artifact cause by the jiggling of wires doing tooth-brushing is called

Answer:

"Toothbrush Tachycardia"

Question 13: If your patient's cardiac rhythm is life-threatening, your FIRST action should be to

Answer:

Check the patient- assess vital signs and see how he/she feels

Question 14: Electrically speaking, the heart is

Answer:

transmitter

Question 15: Muscle artifact can be minimized by monitoring the patient in lead

Answer:

V1 or MCL1 Question 16: Your patient is smiling and visiting family, but the cardiac monitor shows that the patient's heart has completely stopped. The rhythm on the monitor is thus

Answer:

Artifact

Question 17: Somatic tremor artifact is commonly caused by

Answer:

Patient movement Question 18: The most important benefit of a three-channel recorder when doing a 12-lead EKG is

Answer:

All leads can be recorded simultaneously

Question 19: Normal paper speed for printing out the EKG is

Answer:

25 mm/sec.

Question 20: Muscle artifact is seen most often in

Answer:

The frontal leads

Question 21: A patient is short of breath and his nurse tells you he must have the head of the bed (HOB) at 90 degrees for his 12-Lead EKG. You

Answer:

Do the EKG at 90 degrees and document this position on the EKG.Question 22: If artifact is present in lead I, II, and AVR, the most likely source of the artifact is on the

Answer:

Right arm Question 23: Some modern EKG machines are Bluetooth-capable, allowing EMS workers to

Answer:

Transmit the EKG to the nearest hospital so workers can prepare for the patient's arrival

Question 24: Sixty-cycle interference is commonly caused by

Answer:

Electrical interference

Question 25: The "gain" setting on the EKG machine is concerned with

Answer:

The amplitude of the waves and complexes
