RPSGT PRACTICE TEST #1|QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS

Document Content and Description Below

hile reviewing the scoring report, the tech noticed that the lowest SpO2 is listed as 0% what should the tech do next? a. review the study, and label bad data where the pulse oximeter failed. b. do ... nothing as the report is accurate. c. reschedule the pt for a repeat study because of corrupted data. d. check the pulse ox before attempting to generate the report again. Correct Answer A. Review the Study and appropriately label any bad data where the pulse oximeter failed. when generating a report the data acquired will be plugged directly into the formula used to create the report summary. all data that are a result of faulty equipment or patients removing items should be appropriately labeled so that the data do not throw off the accuracy of the scoring report. During a multiple sleep latency test (mslt) how is sleep onset defined? a. three or more epochs of stage N1 or a single epoch of the other sleep stages b. when spindles are seen c. the first 30 second epoch in which alpha begins to subside. d. the first 30 second epoch in which there is more than 15 sec. of cumulative sleep. Correct Answer D. in a MSLT, sleep onset is the first 30 second epoch in which there is more than 15 sec. of cumulative sleep. for the purposes of determining how long the MSLt nap will last and sleep latency, sleep onset is defined as the first spot that has more than 50% of any stage of sleep in. Arousals and interruptions do on negate the possibility of sleep onset as long as the 15 sec. of total sleep is reached within that 30 second epoch. where are the reference electrodes M1 and M2 placed on the head? a. on the earlobes b. on either side of the Cz electrodes placement c. in the Preauricular area behind the ear d. both A and C Correct Answer D. both A and C. The most common placement is the Preauricular location behind the ears. for patients with an abundance of fat tissue or an exceptional EEG artifact, M1 and M2 can be attached to the earlobes instead. The integrity of the entire EEG for the study relies on the proper placement of these reference electrodes. True statements about the process of biocalibrations include of the following EXCEPT a. the pt should be supine and still throughout biocalibrations b. the tech's notes should reflect the movements, made by the pt. c. biocalibrations are done at the beginning of the study only. d. nasal and oral breathing are done on the NPSGs only, Correct Answer C. biocalibrations are done at the beginning and the end of every study. pts should be asked to lie supine and still during the process. Each moments should e labeled in raw study to reflect the movement the pt was asked to perform. Nasal and oral breathing are [Show More]
