Question
Answer
show How the heart is functioning electrically  
🗑
The Einthoven Triangle is formed by the following 3 limb leads:   show
🗑
show Bipolar, Unipolar, Chest  
🗑
show Lead I, Lead II, Lead III  
🗑
The proper location to place the V1 lead is the:   show
🗑
show V2 and V4  
🗑
Unipolar leads include all the lead types:   show
🗑
To obtain a 12-lead ECG tracing, you must apply how many lead wires and electrodes to the patient?   show
🗑
The proper location to place the V2 lead is the:   show
🗑
show 3 standard (Lead I, II, III), 3 augmented (AVR, AVL, AVF), and 6 chest leads (V1 - V6)  
🗑
show Input, Signal Processing, & Output display  
🗑
The signal processing occurs inside the ECG machine and it:   show
🗑
The most common setting for standard speed rate for the ECG machine is:   show
🗑
show 10 mm/mv  
🗑
show Patient data/information, information from the ECG computer, & status of the electrodes  
🗑
To read the ECG tracing when the rate is fast, set the speed control rate to:   show
🗑
The usual setting for the artifact filters is:   show
🗑
To conduct a 12-lead ECG on a patient only use:   show
🗑
Hospitals or acute care settings prefer to use what type of electrodes:   show
🗑
show horizontally, voltage  
🗑
show Time: 0.20 second / Voltage: 0.5 mV  
🗑
show The ECG paper is running low and needs to be replaced soon.  
🗑
Each small box on the ECG paper horizontally represents:   show
🗑
show Dot matrix paper - requires less ink, is easier to read, and produces sharper photocopies.  
🗑
show Alcohol, Sunlight, X-ray film  
🗑
The ECG tracing must be maintained as part of the patient's medical record for how long?   show
🗑
show 300 large boxes per minute  
🗑
show R-R method, 1500 method, 6-second method  
🗑
The only method used to calculate heart rates with an irregular rhythm is:   show
🗑
show 10  
🗑
The heart rate method producing the most accurate with regular rhythms is the:   show
🗑
show manufacturer's instructions  
🗑
Computerized interpretation of the ECG tracing:   show
🗑
A multichannel ECG monitors all 12 leads but usually records how many leads at one time:   show
🗑
show Rhythm rate is too fast; can't clearly identify the waves because they are too close together; per physician's orders.  
🗑
show re-check the lead wires to make sure they are placed correctly.  
🗑
Bradycardia means:   show
🗑
show fast heart rate  
🗑
T/F: Lead V4 placement is the 5th intercostal space at the midclavicular line:   show
🗑
Each of the 12 leads of an ECG tracing represents a single view of the heart.   show
🗑
show False - the chest leads are unipolar type of leads.  
🗑
show True  
🗑
Only one-time electrodes must be used with an application of gel or paste conduction material.   show
🗑
show False - horizontal lines measure time and vertical lines measure the voltage.  
🗑
show True  
🗑
show True  
🗑
Signal processing occurs inside the ECG machine, amplifying the electrical impulse and converting it into a tracing display.   show
🗑
To be able to interpret the information, the ECG machine increases the size of the waveforms in leads aVR, aVL, and aVF.   show
🗑
A standard 12-lead ECG uses 12 electrodes.   show
🗑
