SCRIPT 2026 FULL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Progesterone. Answer: Hormone that causes drowsiness especially in
the first trimester of pregnancy
⩥ Pregnancy effect on sleep. Answer: Total Sleep time decreases,
Shortness of breath, Insomnia, Sleep apnea.
⩥ Cardiac Output. Answer: The amount of blood that is pumped through
the ventricles in one minute
⩥ Stroke volume. Answer: Amount of blood EJECTED by the ventricle
in one contraction
⩥ Vascular resistance. Answer: The amount of resistance that must be
overcome to push blood through the circulatory system
⩥ Systemic circulation. Answer: The flow of Oxygenated blood away
from the heart and Deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
,⩥ Systemic Vascular Resistance. Answer: The amount of resistance in
systemic circulation
⩥ Pulmonary Circulation. Answer: The flow of Deoxygenated blood
away from the heart To the lungs and oxygenated blood back to the
heart.
⩥ Pulmonary vascular resistance. Answer: The amount of resistance in
the pulmonary circulation
⩥ Cardiac Index. Answer: A measure of Cardiac performance in relation
to the size of the individual.
measures in L/min/squared meter
⩥ Excessive Fragmentary myoclonus. Answer: at least 5 twitching
movements that occur every minute for 20 mins during NREM sleep
⩥ Hypnagogic foot tremor. Answer: HFT: A minimum of 4 HFT burst
are needed to make a train. frequency of the burst range from .3hz- 4.0hz
⩥ Rhythmic movement disorder. Answer: Involuntary, repetitive
movements that range between .5hz-2.0hz. 4 movements are required to
mark a single cluster of movements.
, ⩥ Periodic Leg Movements in Sleep: Single event. Answer: PLMS:
Duration range from .5-10 seconds, increase of z8uv, the end begins
when there is at least .5 seconds of EMG tone that is no more than 2uv
higher than resting EMG amplitude.
⩥ PLMS Series. Answer: at least 4 LM events are needed to become a
series, LM events with in the SAME series can be 5-90 seconds apart.
LM events on different legs that happen within 5seconds of each other
count as a SINGLE movement
⩥ PLMS and Arousals. Answer: Arousals and LMs that occur in a PLM
series should be considered associated with each other if both happen
simultaneously, overlap, or is there is <.5secs between the two events.
⩥ Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. Answer: Seizures that occur primarily in the
temporal lobe
⩥ lennox-gestaut syndrome. Answer: non specific Severe Seizures
during childhood usually in PTs younger than 8years old, Mental
Retardation, slow (less than 2.5hz) spike wave like pattern on the EEG
⩥ Landau-kleffner. Answer: Deterioration of the language part of the
brain. contains multifocal spikes and spike wave discharges.
