which of the following artifacts is a result of patient movement with breathing? 60 - cycle interference interrupted baseline wandering baseline somatic tremor
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- 60 - cycle interference is due to electrical interference (e.g., from power lines), not patient movement.
- Interrupted baseline is usually from loose electrodes or poor connection, not breathing - related movement.
- Wandering baseline occurs when the patient's movement (including with breathing) causes the baseline of the electrocardiogram (or similar monitoring) to shift gradually.
- Somatic tremor is due to muscle tremors (like shivering or voluntary muscle movement), not specifically breathing - related movement.
Answer:
C. Wandering baseline
