Answer to Question 1

D
Telemetry provides monitoring of the heart's rate and rhythm with the use of electrodes and wire leads from a bedside monitor or battery-operated transmitter unit. Patients may ambulate on the unit and still be monitored. Blockage of arteries is usually diagnosed with an arteriogram, and valvular problems may be diagnosed with echocardiography.

Answer to Question 2

C
When the patient's feet are against the footboard, the traction is ineffective. The heels should be off the surface of the mattress to reduce the threat of pressure ulcer. The weights should be hanging free.
