CRAT exam
The first negative deflection noted in the QRS complex - answerQ wave
Atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response has an - answerventricular rate less
than 60 BPM
Patient education in self-monitoring includes with of the following: - answer- when to
disconnect the device
- what to do when the device emits an alert sound
- what type of symptoms to record during the monitoring period
x who to call in case of an emergency
x how to wear the device while driving
Which of the following rhythms may be characterized by regular P-P and regular R-R
intervals at different rates? - answercomplete heart block
While conducting a routine transtelephonic pacemaker check, the patient states he is
short of breath, and atrial fibrillation is noted in the presenting rhythm strip. The
technician's next step should be to: - answerPut the patient on hold and call his
cardiologist
What is the best method for obtaining a good recording from a handheld, ambulatory,
post event cardiac monitor? - answerEnsure two of the four electrodes are pressed
gently to the left of the sternum
Which valves prevent the backflow of blood from the aorta and pulmonary arteries into
the ventricles during diastole? - answersemilunar
A patient with a TTM suddenly begins slurring his words and complaining that he has
tingling in his left arm. What is the most appropriate action? - answeractivate EMS
The relationship between the conducted P waves and the QRS complexes in a sinus
arrhythmia is - answerone P wave per QRS complex
