CHSOS PRACTICE EXAM
Questions and Answers
1.The simulation educator has requested that the operations specialist
incorporate debriefing in the same room as the simulator. The operations
specialist should recommend which of the following?
(A) Setting up the debriefing in a separate room
(B) Setting up two separate phases of the scenario
(C) Setting up a remote video feed for the educator
(D) Setting up additional seating for debriefing
ANS (A) Setting up the debriefing in a separate room
2.What would be the best strategy for maintaining technical and
operating manuals for simulation equipment?
(A) Distribute a copy of materials to each control station where the
operations specialists work
(B) Centralize all materials to one location where they are secure, but
available to operations specialists
(C) Require all operations specialists to maintain their own reference materia
(D) Rely on each manufacturer to provide materials electronically from
their website
ANS (B) Centralize all materials to one location where they are secure,
but available to operations specialists
,3.An operations specialist is working with a simulation educator to
complete evaluative scenarios with students who will soon be graduating
from a pro- gram of study. At the end of each student's scenario, the
educator provides the student with a review of their actions during the
scenario. The operations specialist recognizes that this is an example of
(A) simulation debriefing.
(B) skills instruction.
(C) performance feedback.
(D) outcomes assessment.
ANS (C) performance feedback.
4.The operations specialist is assisting in a research study to determine
how many participants maintain sterile technique during a Foley catheter
insertion. What type of research is being performed?
(A) Mixed method
(B) Qualitative
(C) Quantitative
(D) Case study
ANS (C) Quantitative research is based on numbers and measures
quantity. The scenario given is measuring the number of participants
who
perform the technique correctly. Qualitative research aims to explain a
phenomenon or is used to gain insight. For example, what are the
, participants attitudes toward breaking sterile technique.
5.An operations specialist has been asked to set up a scenario focusing on
a patient involved in a motor vehicle accident with apparent bruising
between the fourth and fifth intercostal space. The operations specialist
should make sure which of the following is available for the learners?
(A) Paracentesis tray
(B) Central line insertion tray
(C) Lumbar puncture tray
(D) Chest tube insertion tray
ANS (D) Chest tube insertion tray; Bruising between the fourth and fifth
intercostal space is on the chest. This appearance is suggestive of a
pneumothorax, which would require the insertion of a chest tube.
6.The operations specialist is asked to apply moulage to standardized/
simulated patients for a mass-casualty drill. Which of the following is the
most important consideration?
(A) Standardized/simulated patients should be able to tolerate
wearing moulage for extended periods of time.
(B) The operations specialist should ensure moulage is water and heat
resistant.
(C) The operations specialist should practice with the moulage before
the disaster drill.
(D) Standardized/simulated patients should be asked about any allergies be-
