EKG/ECG Competency Exam New
Update 2024/2025 Questions and
Answers Actual Test with
complete solution
Electrocardiograph - CORRECT ANSWER-Amplifier
Sensor
Recorder
Electrocardiograph measures - CORRECT ANSWER-Voltage and Time
Small square on EKG paper - CORRECT ANSWER-1mm or 0.04 seconds
Normal paper speed - CORRECT ANSWER-25mm/second
Faster - stretches
Slower - compresses
Sensitivity - CORRECT ANSWER-Controls gain of amplification
Normal Sensitivity Setting - CORRECT ANSWER-1
, Sensitivity turned down - CORRECT ANSWER-Cardiac action at half it's normal
amplitude
(Waves half as tall)
Sensitivity increased - CORRECT ANSWER-Cardiac action at twice it's normal
amplitude
(Waves twice as tall)
Calibration check - CORRECT ANSWER-Done automatically prior to EKG
tracing.
Standardization mark - CORRECT ANSWER-Produced by EKG when it does a
calibration check.
Universal Standard for calibration - CORRECT ANSWER-1 millivolt = 10mm
1 millivolt electrical activity = stylus deflected 10mm high
Depolarization - CORRECT ANSWER-Contraction Phase
Discharge of electrical energy in the heart
Repolarization - CORRECT ANSWER-Recovery Phase
Heart muscle cell's electrically resets itself, or returns to it's polarized state.
Lead I - CORRECT ANSWER-Between RA to LA
Lead II - CORRECT ANSWER-Between RA to LL
