Cardiac Telemetry Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
How does telemetry help in the early detection of arrhythmias?


✔✔Telemetry provides continuous heart monitoring, allowing healthcare providers to detect

arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia as soon as they occur, enabling

timely interventions.




Why is it important to monitor heart rate variability in telemetry?


✔✔Heart rate variability can provide insight into the autonomic nervous system’s function, and

significant changes may indicate stress, fatigue, or a cardiovascular issue requiring further

investigation.




How is an abnormal rhythm like atrial fibrillation identified on a telemetry monitor?


✔✔Atrial fibrillation is identified by the absence of regular P waves, an irregularly irregular

rhythm, and rapid ventricular response, often leading to symptoms like palpitations or shortness

of breath.




What should be done if a telemetry monitor shows asystole (flatline)?




1

,✔✔If asystole is detected, immediate CPR should be initiated, and advanced cardiac life support

(ACLS) protocols should be followed, including the administration of medications and potential

defibrillation if indicated.




What is the role of telemetry in post-operative cardiac care?


✔✔Telemetry helps monitor heart rate, rhythm, and oxygen levels in post-operative patients,

enabling early detection of complications like arrhythmias, bleeding, or myocardial infarction,

improving patient outcomes.




How does telemetry monitoring help with heart failure management?


✔✔Telemetry allows for continuous monitoring of heart rate, rhythm, and oxygen saturation,

helping healthcare providers manage patients with heart failure by detecting early signs of

decompensation or arrhythmias.




What are premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), and how are they identified on telemetry?


✔✔PVCs are early heartbeats originating from the ventricles, typically identified on telemetry as

wide and bizarre QRS complexes, often followed by a compensatory pause.




Why is patient movement a concern in telemetry monitoring?



2

, ✔✔Patient movement can cause artifacts, or interference, in the ECG signal, leading to false

alarms or incorrect readings, which may delay the identification of actual cardiac events.




What is the role of telemetry in detecting myocardial ischemia?


✔✔Telemetry can detect signs of myocardial ischemia through ST-segment depression or T-

wave inversion, helping to identify reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which may require

urgent medical intervention.




How is sinus tachycardia identified on telemetry?


✔✔Sinus tachycardia is identified by a heart rate above 100 beats per minute with a regular

rhythm and normal P waves, often resulting from fever, stress, or hypovolemia.




What should be done if telemetry shows ventricular fibrillation?


✔✔Ventricular fibrillation requires immediate defibrillation. CPR should be initiated

immediately, and the patient should be defibrillated as soon as possible to restore normal rhythm.




How can telemetry be used to monitor a patient with a history of myocardial infarction?
