Which of the following would be included in the patients instructions regarding a Holter monitor test?

which of the following would be included in the patient's instructions regarding Holter monitor test? Instruct the patient to record all activities, emotions, symptoms, and medications taken.

Which of the following measures and evaluates a patient's lung?

Spirometry (spy-ROM-uh-tree) is a common office test used to assess how well your lungs work by measuring how much air you inhale, how much you exhale and how quickly you exhale. Spirometry is used to diagnose asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other conditions that affect breathing.

Which of the following is a measurement taken to determine the amount of air that can be quickly forced from the lungs?

Spirometry is a simple test used to help diagnose and monitor certain lung conditions by measuring how much air you can breathe out in one forced breath.
