The nurse is caring for a patient that has had a myocardial infarction and is experiencing
chest pain. Which of the following would be considered the typical medication used for the
relief of chest pain?
Coreg
Tylenol
Lidocaine
Morphine - Ans✔✔-Coreg, tylenol, and lidocaine is not used for myocardial infarction chest
pain. The drug of choice for most chest pain is considered morphine. It is administered by IV
per the dosage ordered by the physician. The typical dose would be considered 2-5 mg and
may repeat every 5 minutes up to 10 mg.
When the ECG technician is applying the electrodes for a stress test, they place the V1-V6
leads and then which of the following?
RA/LA
aVL/aVF
RL/LL
Both A and C - Ans✔✔-With the stress test, there are 10 leads.
These leads include:
V1-V6
RA/LA
RL/LL
The mean instantaneous vector would be considered which of the following?
,Bipolar lead
Unipolar lead
Electrical axis
Focal point - Ans✔✔-The mean instantaneous vector would be considered the electrical
axis. The electrical axis of the heart would be considered the direction of the electromotive
force that is developed in the heart during activation.
Which of the following leads would help to record the electrical activity in the heart's
horizontal plane?
Bipolar lead
12-lead ECG
Precordial leads
Unipolar leads - Ans✔✔-The precordial leads help to record the electrical activity of the
heart's horizontal plane of the heart. This provides a transverse view through the middle of
the heart which divides it into upper and lower portions.
Of the electrocardiogram waves, which would be considered the first deflection after the
diastole that is produced because of the atrial depolarization?
T wave
S wave
Q wave
P wave - Ans✔✔-Of the P, Q, R, S, and T waves, the wave that would be considered the
deflection after the diastole would be the P wave. This occurs because of the atrial
depolarization of the heart.
Which of the following might be considered correct for a complication of doing an
electrocardiogram on an elderly person?
Fragile skin
Obesity
Hypertension
All of the above - Ans✔✔-Fragile skin
,A common complication when testing elderly patients would include the fact that they most
often have fragile skin. When applying electrodes, decreased pressure should be used.
If a patients heart rate is 44 beats per minute, which of the following would it be considered?
Tachycardic
Bradycardic
Both A and B
None of the above - Ans✔✔-Bradycardic
Tachycardic would be a rate per minute of greater than 100.
Bradycardic would be rate per minute of less than 60 beats per minute.
Which of the following would be the medical term used for a persons breastbone?
Clavicle
Pelvis
Sternum
Femur - Ans✔✔-Sternum
The clavicle is also known as the collarbone.
The pelvis in a human is the area that is between the abdomen and the thighs.
The femur is the thigh bone or the longest, thickest, and strongest bone in the human body.
The sternum is the breastbone, located in the center of the chest where the upper ribs
converge.
Which of the following is considered to be the study of the human hearts electrical
conduction system?
Contractility
Electrophysiology
Cardiology
, None of the above - Ans✔✔-Electrophysiology
Contractility is one of the cardiac cell characteristics.
Cardiology is the study of the heart.
Electrophysiology is the study of the human hearts electrical conduction system.
Which of the following rhythms would not be considered life-threatening?
Ventricular tachycardia
First degree AV block
MAT
Ventricular fibrillation - Ans✔✔-First degree AV block
The other 3 options above can be life-threatening.
In most cases, first degree AV block requires no treatment at all and is not life-threatening.
Of the following, which is correct for the heart valve that is between the right ventricle and
the pulmonary artery?
Pulmonary vein
Pulmonary artery
Pulmonary edema
Pulmonary valve - Ans✔✔-Pulmonary valve
Pulmonary vein is the vein that carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left side
of the heart.
The pulmonary artery connects the right ventricle to the lungs.
Pulmonary edema is when there is a build-up of fluid in the lungs.
Pulmonary valve is the heart valve that is located between the right ventricle and the
pulmonary artery.
Of the following, which would be suggestions the ECG technician might tell a patient that
could help prevent cardiovascular disease?
