Safety & Professionalism第 90 / 100 题
Which information must appear on every EKG tracing?
a.The technician's home phone number and the machine serial number only
b.The patient's diagnosis and insurance carrier
c.The patient's full name and identifier, the date and time of the tracing, and the technician's identification
d.The patient's next appointment date
解析
A tracing is a legal part of the medical record and must identify the patient, the exact date and time it was taken, and the person who took it, along with any deviations such as altered electrode placement or non-standard settings. Diagnoses are supplied by the interpreting physician, not the technician. Insurance and appointment details belong elsewhere in the record, and personal contact information is never placed on a tracing.
