CCMA EXAM STUDY GUIDE 2026 FULL
QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉.2 seconds or 200m seconds. Answer: 1 large square on eKG grid is
equal to how much time?
◉1 second or 1000 m seconds. Answer: 5 large squares on eKG grid
is equal to how much time?
◉25mm per second. Answer: The running speed of an EKG is?
◉Horizontal axis. Answer: What represents time on an EKG?
◉Vertical axis. Answer: What represents amplitude on an EKG?
◉P Wave. Answer: Deflection produced by Atrial depolarization.
Normal range does not exceed 0.11s in duration or 2.55mm in
height.
◉T wave. Answer: Deflection produced by ventricular repolarization
, ◉QRS complex. Answer: Ventricular depolarization
◉Somatic tremors. Answer: Patients tremors or shaking the wires
can produce jittery patterns on the EKG tracing.
◉Wandering baseline. Answer: sweat or lotion on the patients skin
or tension on the electrode wires can interfere with the signal going
to the EKG apparatus causing the baseline of the tracing to move up
and down on the EKG paper.
◉60-cycle interference. Answer: can produce deflections occurring
at rapid rate that may mimic atrial flutter. this is caused by electrical
appliances or apparatus being used nearby while the tracing is
taken.
◉broken recording. Answer: the stylus goes up and down trying to
find the signal. tis can be caused by loose electrode or cables, or by
frayed or broken wires
◉arrhythmia. Answer: abnormal heart rhythms
◉Ischemia. Answer: decreased blood flow to tissue caused by
constriction or occlusion of a blood vessel can cause chest pain or
angina
