The correct placement for a 3-lead telemetry involves positioning the RA (white) electrode below the right clavicle, the LA (black) electrode below the left clavicle, and the LL (red) electrode in the left lowest rib cage area. This configuration allows for accurate monitoring of the heart's electrical activity from different angles.
