⚠️ Telemetry Assessment

The assessment covers:

• Heart blocks
• Arrhythmias
• Paced rhythms
• Normal telemetry interval durations
• Appropriate clinical interventions for rhythm abnormalities

If remediation is needed, educational material and a follow-up assessment will be provided during the first week of the assignment. Nurses are expected to independently interpret telemetry strips because dedicated telemetry technicians are not utilized.
