Annual Cardiac Telemetry Exam RRH
Questions and Answers Graded A+
What is the purpose of continuous cardiac telemetry in monitoring high-risk patients?


✔✔Continuous cardiac telemetry provides real-time data on heart function, helping detect

potentially dangerous arrhythmias, ischemia, or other abnormalities that may require prompt

medical intervention.




How does telemetry data transmission occur in a hospital setting?


✔✔Telemetry data is transmitted wirelessly from a wearable device on the patient to a central

monitoring system, where healthcare professionals can monitor the patient’s vital signs and

receive alerts for abnormalities.




What is the role of a nurse in interpreting telemetry alarms?


✔✔A nurse must assess the cause of the alarm, evaluate the patient’s condition, and determine

whether the alarm is due to a real event, equipment malfunction, or patient movement.




What would you do if a telemetry device begins to malfunction during monitoring?


✔✔First, check the battery and electrode connections. If the issue persists, replace the device or

contact technical support for further troubleshooting.

, How do you differentiate between a false alarm and a true emergency in telemetry?


✔✔A false alarm may result from poor electrode contact or movement artifacts, while a true

emergency presents with persistent abnormal readings that correlate with the patient’s symptoms,

such as chest pain or shortness of breath.




What is the significance of abnormal heart rhythms detected on telemetry?


✔✔Abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia, can signal a

risk of stroke, cardiac arrest, or other serious complications and require immediate assessment.




Why is electrode placement crucial in obtaining accurate telemetry data?


✔✔Proper electrode placement ensures clear signal transmission and reduces the likelihood of

artifacts or false alarms, leading to more accurate monitoring of the patient's cardiac status.




What would you do if a telemetry alarm indicates low oxygen saturation in a patient?


✔✔Reposition the patient if necessary, assess their breathing, and check the oxygen supply.

Administer supplemental oxygen if required and notify the healthcare provider for further

evaluation.
