Essay Instructions: Hello,

What I need is,12 questions answered about someone who experienced a myocardial infarction while at the zoo. Below are just 2 examples of the 12 questions I need answered.

Example: 1)Why did the EMT give Paul an IV, and oxygen?
2)Why is it possible to record an ECG on the body
surface without direct access to the heart?

This can be double spaced in a 10-12 point nonscript font such as Helvetica or Times.

I will immediately be faxing you the short case study with the 12 questions on it. The 12 questions only need a 4 or 5 line explanation/answer(if that even).

The catagory could either be medicine, nursing, physiology, or biology.

Okay, thank you for any help you may be able to give.
