Answer to Question 1

C
Leads V1R to V6R are used to view the right ventricle.

Answer to Question 2

D
During the absolute refractory period, the cell will not respond to further stimulation. This means that the myocardial working cells cannot contract and the cells of the electrical conduction system cannot conduct an electrical impulseno matter how strong the stimulus. As a result, tetanic (sustained) contractions cannot be provoked in cardiac muscle. On the ECG, the absolute refractory period corresponds with the onset of the QRS complex to the peak of the T wave.
