The V1 lead should be placed at the:

fourth intercostal space, right sternal border.

The V2 lead should be placed at the:

fourth intercostal space, left sternal border.

The leads that make up a 12-lead ECG consist of:

3 standard, 3 augmented, and 6 chest leads.

Signal processing, which occurs inside the ECG machine,

amplifies the electrical impulse.

You are preparing to conduct a 12-lead ECG on a patient. As you are gathering your supplies, you notice that five of the electrodes are made by one company and the other five electrodes are made by another company. What is your next step?

Find a complete set of 10 electrodes that are the same.

You are performing a 12-lead ECG on a hospital patient using a portable ECG machine on a cart. As you are conducting the ECG, a red line appears at the bottom of the ECG graph paper. What should you do?

Continue the ECG, but remember to replace the paper before performing the next ECG.

Which of the following is an advantage of using dot matrix paper instead of the standard grid paper?

Dot matrix paper produces sharper photocopies than standard grid paper.

EKG chapter 3&4

Term	Definition
The Einthoven triangle is formed by the following three limb leads	right arm, left arm, left leg.
Which of the following is not a type of lead used in a 12-lead ECG?	Abdomen
Which of the following is not considered a bipolar lead?	aVR
The V1 lead should be placed at the:	fourth intercostal space, right sternal border.
For the proper placement of V3, you must have placed which other two leads on the patient's chest?	V2 and V4
Unipolar leads include all the lead types except:	standard leads.
To obtain a 12-lead ECG tracing, you must apply how many lead wires and electrodes to the patient?	10
The V2 lead should be placed at the:	fourth intercostal space, left sternal border.
The leads that make up a 12-lead ECG consist of:	3 standard, 3 augmented, and 6 chest leads.
Which of the following is not a basic function of the electrocardiograph?	Analysis
Signal processing, which occurs inside the ECG machine,	amplifies the electrical impulse.
The gain control is normally set at:	10 mm/mV.
Often it is difficult to read the ECG tracing if a patient's heart rate is fast. Where should you set the speed control to be able to interpret the ECG tracing more easily?	50mm/sec
The usual setting for the artifact filter is:	40 to 150 Hz
You are preparing to conduct a 12-lead ECG on a patient. As you are gathering your supplies, you notice that five of the electrodes are made by one company and the other five electrodes are made by another company. What is your next step?	Find a complete set of 10 electrodes that are the same.
Which type of electrode is preferred for use in a hospital or acute care setting?	Silver Electrodes
The ECG graph paper represents time horizontally and voltage vertically. What time and voltage are represented by one large box?	0.20 second and 0.5 mV
You are performing a 12-lead ECG on a hospital patient using a portable ECG machine on a cart. As you are conducting the ECG, a red line appears at the bottom of the ECG graph paper. What should you do?	Continue the ECG, but remember to replace the paper before performing the next ECG.
Each little box on the ECG paper horizontally represents:	0.04 second.
Which of the following is an advantage of using dot matrix paper instead of the standard grid paper?	Dot matrix paper produces sharper photocopies than standard grid paper.
Which of the following substances can accidentally erase an ECG tracing?	Plastic
