When placing electrodes on a patient with lesions, wounds, or incisions on the chest, it is essential to avoid direct contact with the affected areas to prevent irritation or infection. Instead, electrodes can be positioned on adjacent, healthy skin or alternative sites, such as the limbs or back, depending on the type of monitoring required. Additionally, using conductive gel or adhesive pads can help ensure proper contact with the skin while minimizing discomfort. Always consult clinical guidelines for specific electrode placement based on the patient's condition.
Electrolysis of brine requires inert electrodes, such as platinum or graphite, to prevent the electrodes from reacting with the products of the electrolysis. Using inert electrodes ensures that the reactions at the electrodes are solely due to the electrolysis of the brine solution and do not introduce impurities or alter the chemical composition of the products.
Restrain the patient.
Electrodes are electrically separated from each other to prevent short circuits and to ensure that the desired electrical reactions occur at the intended locations. This separation helps to maintain the integrity and efficiency of the overall system or device in which the electrodes are being used.

A pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis patient has high blood glucose concentrations after taking a meal and this wil drop very slowly because the cells who produce insulin (the beta-cells of the pancreas) don't produce enough insulin. Insuline acts on the liver and other organs( this will decrease the blood glucose concentration).
Before suctioning a patient, you should adjust the pressure to be between 80 to 120 mmHg for adults, and lower for pediatric patients, typically between 60 to 80 mmHg. This range helps to effectively clear secretions without causing trauma to the airway. Proper suction pressure is crucial to minimize discomfort and prevent potential complications, such as mucosal damage or hypoxia. Always assess the patient's condition and response during the procedure.
I have been recently doing research on a related topic & what I been able to determine is that plate electrodes are used where rocky soil conditions prevent rod electrode from being used. From what I have read, that rod electrodes need to be driven in the ground from 8 to 10 feet. If not possiable then plate electrodes may be one option. This is from what I have researched from pretty good sources, I alone, as a General Contractor, am not qualified to answer.
If the electrodes are not inert, then they are going to become part of the chemical reaction, rather than just being conduits for electricity, and if they become part of the chemical reaction, they are going to get used up, and you will wind up with no electrodes.
Patient confidentiality would prevent him from doing that.
