Answer 1

To determine which student is best prepared to practice as an EKG technician, let's analyze the options:

1. Anna: While she has learned from her uncle how to use the EKG machine, her training is informal and not necessarily recognized as comprehensive or standardized.

2. Steve: He completed a short medical assisting program at a community college. This program likely included formal training, which would typically provide a better foundation in EKG procedures and protocols.

3. Fong: He took an internet course on administering EKGs. While this may have provided some training, it might not be as rigorous or respected as a formal program from a community college.

Given these considerations, Steve appears to be the best prepared to practice as an EKG technician due to completing a structured and recognized program. Therefore, the answer would not be "all of the above."

Correct Answer: Steve went to high school and then completed a short medical assisting program at a community college that taught him to use the EKG as part of curriculum.
