Achild will be undergoing a holter monitor test. which statement by the mother indicates the need for further instruction?

"My child cannot have any thing to eat or drink after midnight the day of the test."

Explanation:

The Holter monitor test is a complementary test used to assess the presence of cardiac arrhythmias, both tachycardia and bradycardia. As with ABPM, the patient will stay for a full day with a portable monitor.

The device used for the exam is attached to the patient's chest and records the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours straight. At the end of 24 hours, the device is removed from the patient and sent to the cardiologist, who will evaluate the recorded activity. Its goal is to analyze the variations in rhythm and heart rate that occur throughout the day. The client undergoing this test need not modify any activities of his or her daily life and need not be fasted during or before the test.
