Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4

Answer to Question 2

B
An electrocardiogram or ECG is a graphic recording of the heart's electrical activity. The patient may be asked not to smoke or drink caffeinated beverages 24 hours before the test. Nicotine and caffeine can affect the heart rate. It is not necessary for the patient to eat a full meal, take a laxative, or exercise vigorously before the test.
