1. When examining a paced rhythm, it is more important to evaluate the presence of the actual paced complex to make the diagnosis than to try to figure out which type of pacemaker is involved. True or False.
2. Pacing wires or leads can be which of the following?
A. Unipolar
B. Multiprogrammable
C. Bipolar
D. A and C
E. All of the above
3. What does the first letter stand for in the code used to describe pacemaker functions and capabilities?
A. Antitachyarrhythmia functions
B. Chamber sensed
C. Response to sensing
D. Chamber paced
E. Programmability
4. What does the second letter stand for in the code used to describe pacemaker functions and capabilities?
A. Antitachyarrhythmia functions
B. Chamber sensed
C. Response to sensing
D. Chamber paced
E. Programmability
5. What does the third letter stand for in the code used to describe pacemaker functions and capabilities?
A. Antitachyarrhythmia functions
B. Chamber sensed
C. Response to sensing
D. Chamber paced
E. Programmability
6. Always look for a pacemaker spike when you are looking at a wide, bizarre-looking complex or rhythm. Multiple leads or a full 12-lead ECG are very useful in these cases. True or False.
