Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for cardiovascular technologists and technicians. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Conduct electrocardiogram (EKG), phonocardiogram, echocardiogram, stress testing, or other cardiovascular tests to record patients' cardiac activity, using specialized electronic test equipment, recording devices, or laboratory instruments.

2. Explain testing procedures to patients to obtain cooperation and reduce anxiety.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Monitor patients' blood pressure and heart rate using electrocardiogram (EKG) equipment during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures to notify the physician if something appears wrong.
