What is the property of the gel portion of the patient return electrode (ground pad) that completes the ESU circuit?
A) conductivity
B) impedance
C) insulated
D) resistance

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The gel portion of the patient return electrode (ground pad) must have conductivity to complete the ESU circuit. Conductivity allows the flow of electric current and completes the circuit, which is necessary for the safe and effective use of the ESU. The other options, impedance, insulation, and resistance, do not necessarily contribute to completing the ESU circuit.
