Health & Medical EKGs and Holter Monitoring Discussion – Question Description
I’m working on a health & medical discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.
Discussion Question(s)
Answer both discussion topics (Part 1: EKGs and Part 2: Holter Monitoring):
Part 1: EKGs
Discuss ECG waves, segments, and intervals.
Describe the medical assistant’s role in a resting 12-lead ECG.
Describe the bipolar (standard) leads, augmented leads, and chest (precordial) leads.
Part 2: Holter Monitoring
A patient returns to the medical office after wearing a Holter monitor for 24 hours. He states that he forgot to depress the event marker when he was having chest pain due to extreme stress at the office. He wrote this in the daily journal that he kept but forgot to note the time. Will the monitor tape be effective in this case? Justify your answer.
