CHSOS PRACTICE EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS
A simulation activity is exceeding the amount of time
originally scheduled and there is not enough time to
facilitate a full debriefing session. The simulation
facilitator informs the operations specialist the debriefing
will be omitted to allow more time for the activity. The
operations specialist should
(A) defer to the simulation facilitator on when to end the
simulation activity.
(B) end the simulation to ensure there is enough time for
a partial debriefing.
(C) modify room scheduling to ensure there is appropriate
time for debriefing.
(D) talk to the simulation facilitator about the importance
of debriefing. - correct answer- (D) talk to the
simulation facilitator about the importance of debriefing ;
Standards stress the importance of debriefing and the
time allotted for debrief must be equal to or greater than
,the time spent in the scenario. Research had
demonstrated it is in debrief that most learning occurs. It
is the operations specialist's responsibility to reinforce the
standards. Option C is not plausible because the schedule
is pre-determined and cannot be changed as it would
impact the learning of other participants.
A simulation center establishes a systematic inspection,
detection, and correction of potential failures on
simulators. This is an example of
(A) maintenance agreements.
(B) manufacturer warranty.
(C) priority recall.
(D) preventive maintenance. - correct answer-
(D) preventive maintenance.
A simulation educator has designed a scenario that
specifies a patient with a genetic condition. The
operations specialist has information that one participant
has the same condition. What is the best course of action
for the operations specialist?
,(A) Advise the participant the scenario might be
personally upsetting
(B) Inform the simulation educator of the participant's
condition
(C) Request the condition represented in the activity to be
modified
(D) Run the simulation scenario as designed for all
participants - correct answer- (D) Run the
simulation scenario as designed for all participants
A simulation educator requests a task trainer for an
activity involving lumbar puncture on a patient with a high
bilirubin. The operations specialist should prime the task
trainer with what color simulated Cerebrospinal Fluid
(CSF)?
(A) Blue
(B) Clear
(C) Red
, (D) Yellow - correct answer- (D) Yellow ;
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) is normally clear, but with high
bilirubin, the appearance changes to yellow.
A simulation educator requests an activity that requires
the learner to interact with an anxious patient while
inserting an intravenous (IV) catheter. Which simulation
modality would be most appropriate?
(A) A computerized full body simulator and a
standardized/simulated patient
(B) A task trainer and a standardized/simulated patient
(C) A live tissue simulator and a computer-based
simulation
(D) A haptic feedback device and a virtual environment -
correct answer- (B) A task trainer and a
standardized/simulated patient ; A
standardized/simulated patient would be the best option
as the actor would portray the anxiety. The inclusion of
the task trainer allows the participant to perform the task
while engaging with the patient. The other modalities
listed would not achieve this objective.
