Safety & Professionalism第 93 / 100 题
What is the purpose of telemetry monitoring?
a.To record a permanent 12-lead tracing once per shift
b.To transmit a patient's cardiac rhythm continuously by radio signal to a central monitoring station
c.To measure blood pressure automatically every fifteen minutes
d.To record heart sounds for later review
解析
Telemetry uses a small battery-powered transmitter worn by the patient to send the rhythm wirelessly to a central station, allowing continuous observation while the patient moves about the unit. A 12-lead EKG is a separate diagnostic test taken with a stationary machine. Blood pressure monitoring and heart sound recording use entirely different equipment.
