The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which body part the electrical lead is not attached to while recording an ECG, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the ECG Basics**: - The ECG (electrocardiogram) is a graphical representation of the electrical activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle. It consists of various waves (P, QRS, T) that correspond to specific electrical activities of the heart. 2. **Identify the Leads Used in ECG**: - ECG leads are typically attached to specific locations on the body to monitor heart activity. The standard leads are usually connected to both wrists and one ankle. 3. **List the Attachment Points**: - The common attachment points for the ECG leads are: - Right wrist - Left wrist - Left ankle 4. **Analyze the Options Given**: - The question provides four options: - Option 1: Right wrist - Option 2: Left wrist - Option 3: Right ankle - Option 4: Left ankle 5. **Determine Which Option is Not Attached**: - From the standard practice of ECG lead placement, we know that the leads are attached to both wrists and the left ankle. Therefore, the only body part from the options that is not typically attached to the ECG leads is the **right ankle**. 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer to the question is **Option 3: Right ankle**.
