  d. lateral

Question 3

What is meant by the term ejection fraction?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 4

In pacing, rate modulation refers to _____.
 
  a. the ability of a pacemaker to recognize and respond to intrinsic electrical activity
  b. the minimum level of electrical current needed to consistently depolarize the myocardium
  c. the ability of a pacemaker to increase the pacing rate in response to physical activity or metabolic demand
  d. a pacing lead with a single electrical pole at the distal tip of the pacing lead through which the stimulating pulse is delivered.

The answer to question 1  D
Ventricular repolarization is represented on the ECG by the T wave.

The answer to question 2  B
Lead II views the inferior wall of the left ventricle.

The answer to question 3  Ejection fraction is the percentage of blood pumped out of a heart chamber with each contraction. Each ventricle holds about 150 mL when it is full; they normally eject only about half this volume (70 to 80 mL) with each contraction.

The answer to question 4  C
Rate modulation refers to a pacemaker's ability to adapt its rate to meet the body's needs caused by increased physical activity and then increase or decrease the pacing rate accordingly. A pacemaker's rate modulation capability may also be referred to as rate responsiveness or rate adaptation.

The answer to question 5  B
The intrinsic rate of the SA node is 60 to 100 beats/min.

The answer to question 6  A
The positive electrode for lead V1 is positioned on the right side of the sternum, fourth intercostal space.

The answer to question 7  Contraction or the ejection of blood from a chamber of the heart

The answer to question 8  A
The Purkinje fibers have pacemaker cells capable of firing at a rate of 20 to 40 beats/min.
