Which of the following artifacts may occur if a patient is talking during an EKG?

A. A patient's nationality pertains to the place where they hold citizenship: This statement is generally accurate and does not represent a stereotype. Nationality and citizenship can be related but are not inherently stereotypical.
B. A patient's religion will not affect medical decisions: This is not a stereotype but rather a factual consideration. Religion can influence medical decisions for some patients, so it is important to respect and understand each patient's preferences.
C. Patients who have the same physical characteristics are from the same race: This is a stereotype and can be misleading. Physical characteristics do not solely define race or ethnicity, and assuming so can lead to biased interactions.
D. Older adult patients will be most comfortable with digital resources: This is a generalization rather than a stereotype. While some older adults may be comfortable with digital resources, others may prefer traditional methods.

A. Assist the patient into the prone position: The prone position (lying face down) is not suitable for eye irrigation and may make the procedure more difficult.
B. Position the patient with their head turned toward the affected side: Turning the patient’s head toward the affected side helps to ensure that the irrigation fluid drains away from the unaffected eye and is more effective in flushing out debris or irritants.
C. Flush the patient's eye from the outer to the inner canthus: Flushing from the inner to the outer canthus is preferred to prevent contaminating the unaffected eye and to ensure effective irrigation.
D. Instruct the patient to hold their affected eye open: The patient should be instructed to keep their eye open, but it is more important to ensure proper positioning and technique during the irrigation.
