When preparing a patient for an EKG, leads should be placed on clean, dry skin to ensure good electrical contact. The standard placement includes the limb leads on the arms and legs, and the precordial leads on specific locations across the chest. It's essential to follow the correct lead placement to accurately capture the heart's electrical activity. Additionally, the patient should be relaxed and in a comfortable position to minimize artifacts during the recording.

How should ECG be placed on patient with amputation?
When placing ECG leads on a patient with an amputation, it is essential to position the leads on the remaining limb or use alternative sites to ensure good electrode contact. For upper limb amputations, the leads can be placed on the torso or lower limbs, while for lower limb amputations, leads can be positioned on the arms or other accessible areas. It's important to ensure that the leads are placed symmetrically to maintain the integrity of the ECG readings. Additionally, using limb lead cables that are long enough to reach the alternative sites is crucial for accurate placement.
When power tools are not in use they should?
They should be carefully placed on a shelf,with blades covered and leads coiled.
When not in use hand-held electric power tool should be?
Placed its proper casing after thorough cleaning.
Can a patient sit in a semi-Fowler's position during an EKG?
Yes, a patient can sit in a semi-Fowler's position during an EKG. This position, where the patient is reclined at an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees, can enhance comfort and is often beneficial for patients with respiratory issues or those who have difficulty lying flat. However, it is essential to ensure that the leads are properly placed and that the patient's position does not interfere with the accuracy of the readings.

What preparations are required with defibrillation?
vital signs are monitored.Additional tests to measure cardiac damage will be performed.Treatment options will be determined from the outcome of these procedures. The patient's skin is cleansed to remove gel.if necessary, electrical burns are treated
Can a coma patient be treated for failure to thrive?
A coma patient can be treated for failure to thrive. Failure to thrive leads to coma or partial coma at times.
What is a cure for Hypoxia?
that's case to case basis if the patient has been experiencing hypoxia for the past 5-10 mins that is very dangerous to the patient cos it may cause irreversible brain damage cos hypoxia leads to hypoxemia that's the first thing you should worry about.. and the other case is if he/she is prone or begins to hyperventilate that leads to hypoxia which in turns to hypoxemia (inadequate oxygenation of the blood) then you should first give the patient sufficient O2 to prevent or lessen the possibility of client having hypoxemia... i think when the patient is in the hypoxemic stage it is automatically severe and dangerous and it needs critical care...
How can you use AED?
To use the AED, first turn it on. Place the pads on the patient. (and plug the pad leads into the AED if required). The AED should analyze at this point; now follow the instructions of the AED.
