Q.	Which electrodes can work even after being induced to large electric discharge such as defibrillation?
A.	polarizing electrodes
B.	magnetic electrodes
C.	non-polarizing electrodes
D.	electrolytic electrodes
Answer» C. non-polarizing electrodes
Explanation: Non-polarizing electrodes are designed to rapidly dissipate any charge imbalance induced by powerful electric discharges such as a defibrillation procedure. Rapid depolarization enables the immediate reappearance of bioelectric signals on the monitor after defibrillation. For this reason, non-polarizing electrodes have become the electrodes of choice for monitoring in the intensive care units and stress testing procedures.
