Assign monitors and enter patient data into the central cardiac monitoring system upon physician orders, then place leads, prepare skin, and secure equipment. Verify patient identity, rate, and rhythm with the central station, and document all required elements in the electronic medical record. Observe and interpret cardiac rhythms continuously, reporting changes in rate or rhythm immediately. Record rhythm strips every four hours and perform a census reconciliation process to match hospital records. Maintain equipment by cleaning, storing, and reporting issues, while documenting meticulous interdepartmental records. Provide verbal reassurance to patients and families, and demonstrate flexibility under stressful situations.
