1. Course Description
   1. The ADN Students will build on their knowledge of the heart by learning the anatomy and physiology of the electrical system of the heart. The students will learn how to measure the telemetry strips as well as recognize abnormal heart rhythms when patients in the clinical setting present them. The ADN student will learn the use of calipers and how to measure the waveform of a telemetry strip. This is a skill that can be practiced in the lab setting before applying the skill to the clinical setting
