CERTIFICATION FOR LONG TERM
MONITORING EXAM WITH 2
VERSIONS (VERSION A & B)
QUESTION AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
WITH RATIONALES –PASS
GUARANTEED (GRADED A+)

1. The primary purpose of obtaining a detailed patient/family
history before starting long-term monitoring (LTM) is to:

 A) Calculate insurance reimbursement
 B) Identify seizure semiology, triggers, and frequency
 C) Select the brand of electrodes to use
 D) Determine the room temperature
 Correct Answer: B
 Rationale: A thorough history guides electrode placement and
the monitoring strategy by helping the technologist understand
the patient's seizure characteristics.

2. According to HIPAA, which provision is most relevant when
handling continuous video recordings in LTM?

 A) Minimum necessary rule

, B) Privacy rule for oral communications
 C) Security rule for encryption of stored data
 D) Breach notification rule
 Correct Answer: C
 Rationale: The Security Rule requires that electronic protected
health information, such as video-EEG files, be encrypted and
protected.

3. Which condition is an absolute contraindication for
performing activation procedures?

 A) Controlled hypertension
 B) Active scalp infection at electrode site
 C) History of migraine
 D) Mild anxiety
 Correct Answer: B
 Rationale: An active infection at the electrode site can spread to
deeper structures during activation, making it an absolute
contraindication.

4. Which adhesive is most likely to cause a contact dermatitis
reaction in patients with known sensitivities?

 A) Collodion paste
 B) Silicone-based tape
 C) Hydrogel electrode pad
 D) Conductive gel
 Correct Answer: A
 Rationale: Collodion contains chemicals that frequently provoke
allergic skin reactions, and alternatives should be used for
sensitive patients.

, 5. In the International 10-20 system, the electrode labeled
"Fz" is located:

 A) Over the left frontal lobe
 B) Over the midline frontal region
 C) Over the right temporal lobe
 D) Over the occipital pole
 Correct Answer: B
 Rationale: "Fz" denotes a frontal electrode placed on the midline
(z) of the scalp.

6. A patient with a left-sided focal seizure shows maximal EEG
activity over the left temporal electrodes. Which vascular
territory is most likely involved?

 A) Anterior cerebral artery (ACA)
 B) Middle cerebral artery (MCA)
 C) Posterior cerebral artery (PCA)
 D) Vertebro-basilar system
 Correct Answer: B
 Rationale: The MCA supplies the lateral temporal lobe, and focal
temporal seizures often arise from this territory.

7. Which metabolic disorder typically produces diffuse
slowing with occasional triphasic waves on EEG?

 A) Hyperglycemia
 B) Hepatic encephalopathy
 C) Hypocalcemia
 D) Hypernatremia
 Correct Answer: B

,  Rationale: Hepatic encephalopathy is classically associated with
diffuse slowing and triphasic wave patterns.

8. In the ACNS classification, a "Generalized Periodic
Discharge" (GPD) is defined as:

 A) Repetitive spikes occurring at a regular interval over both
hemispheres
 B) Isolated sharp transients in one hemisphere only
 C) Continuous rhythmic delta activity
 D) Burst-suppression pattern
 Correct Answer: A
 Rationale: GPDs are bilateral, synchronous, periodic waveforms
that recur at a relatively constant interval.

9. Which electrode paste is best for a patient with a known
latex allergy?

 A) Water-based conductive gel
 B) Silicone-based adhesive paste
 C) Collodion paste
 D) More paste than usual
 Correct Answer: B
 Rationale: Silicone-based pastes are latex-free and reduce the
risk of allergic reaction.

10. What is the most likely EEG finding during a psychogenic
nonepileptic seizure (PNES)?

 A) Normal sleep activity
 B) Focal slowing
 C) Normal awake rhythms
