Chapter 5 review Question Pt. is laid in the ________ position If a pt. has a head injury, raise the _____ to _____ angle If a pt. has having trouble breathing, raise the _____ to _____ angle This layer of skin is composed of living cells and is needed to detect electrical signals for the ECG. This is a clinical term for a pt. that is sweating profusely. What should we do prior to placing the electrodes on a diaphoretic pt. Interference on the ECG not coming from the pt. is called an _______ Who must recognized an artifact and correct it? What causes a wandering baseline? what does a wandering baseline look like? how do you fix a wandering baseline? What causes a somatic tremor? What does a somatic tremor look like? how do you fix a somatic tremor? What causes a 60 cycle interference? what does a 60 cycle look like? how do you fix a 60 cycle interference? What causes an interrupted baseline? what does an interrupted baseline look like how do you fix an interrupted baseline? Where is the purple lead placed Where is the blue lead placed Where is the V5 placed Front back pertaining to septum above below pertaining to apex side This is determined by measuring the R-R intervals across the entire rhythm strip: If the R-R intervals all measure the same, the _______ is termed ________. If the R-R intervals are NOT all the same, the ______ is termed _______ If there is a pattern to the irregularity, it is called If there is NO pattern to the irregularity, it is called If there is an underlying regular rhythm, with one or two interruptions, it is called How many waves in One Cardiac Cycle? name the 5 waves in One Cardiac Cycle If electrical activity flows toward a ______ ____, an upward wave is produced on the paper Answer Supine head, 30 head 45 Dermis diaphoretic wipe sweat with gauze and then clean with alcohol swabs artifact MA loose electrode uneven check electrodes voluntary and involuntary muscle movement large jagged peaks or unnatural baseline deflection follow procedure, make pt. comfy, pt. lie on hands. wait for movement to stop metal, jewelry, phone, lights, frayed wires, dirty electrodes small fuzzy lines prepare room, follow procedure electrode fell off breaks between complexes check and or replace electrode 5th ICS/ Mid-axillary line 5th ICS/ Mid-clavicular line 5th ICS/ anterior axillary line Anterior posterior septal superior Inferior apical lateral Rhythm rhythm ....regular rhythm....irregular Regularly Irregular Totally irregular basically irregular 5 p,q,r,s,t positive pole The P wave represents The QRS complex represents The T wave represents another name for 60 cycle interference is the skin a good conductor of electricity? what helps the conduction of electricity on the skin with electrodes if you had to reposition a pt. or the electrodes, what should you do for a record how should you speak, dress and act at all times you ask your pt. to disrobe from the ____ ____ and give them a _______ with opening in the ____ atrial depolarization ventricular depolarization ventricular repolarization AC interference Nope electrolyte gel document on ECG paper professionally waist up, gown, front
