A patient is scheduled for an orthopedic consultation. The medical assistant should ensure the health record includes which of the following?

A. Orthopedic: Orthopedic specialists focus on musculoskeletal issues such as bones and joints, not coronary artery disease.
B. Neurology: Neurologists treat neurological disorders affecting the brain and nervous system, not coronary artery disease.
C. Bariatric: Bariatric specialists focus on weight loss and obesity-related conditions, which are not the primary treatment focus for coronary artery disease.
D. Cardiology: Cardiologists specialize in heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, and are the appropriate specialists for managing and treating this condition.

A. Alternating current: Alternating current interference is due to electrical equipment, not patient movement or talking.
B. Interrupted baseline: An interrupted baseline occurs when there is a break in the electrical connection, often due to a loose lead, not because of patient talking.
C. Somatic tremor: Somatic tremor can occur due to muscle movement, including that caused by talking. This can result in erratic, uneven spikes on the EKG tracing.
D. Wandering baseline: A wandering baseline is usually caused by improper electrode placement or poor skin contact, not talking. However, excessive movement, including deep breaths or large chest movements during talking, can contribute to a wandering baseline.
