If a pt has issues with mouth breathing while using a nasal-only mask, in which order should the tech
work to allevaite the problem?
A. apply a chin strap, attempt to flex the comfort settings, and then switch to a full fas mask.
B. apply a chin strap, apply or increase heated humidity, offer nasal spray for congestion, attempt to flex
comfort settings and then switch to a full face mask.
C. aply or increase heated humidity settings, offer a nasal spray for cngestion, apply a chin strap,
attempt to flex the comfort settins, and then switch to a full face mask.
D. immediately switch to a full face mask. - CORRECT ANSWERSC. the AASM recommends the use of
heated humidity for allevating nasal congestion. the organization of which solutions to try first go in
order of least invasive to most invasive or inconvenient for the pt. humidity and resolution of congestion
are attempted before a chin strap because a chin strap is another piece of equipment that would need
to be provided by the medical equipment company. flex settings and even BiPAP pressures are required
more expensive machines to be prescribed for the pt and are last efforts to relieve mouth breathing.
when all fails, a pt must be switched to a full face mask to attain clinically acceptable leak vaule.
on what muscles are the leg EMG leads placed and how far apart should they be from one another.
A. calf muscle, 4 cm
B. Anterior tibialis, 6 cm apart.
C. Calf muscles 2 cm apart
D. Anterior tibialis, 2 cm apart. - CORRECT ANSWERSD. Leads intended to monitor muscle activity in the
legs are placed on the anterior tibialis muscle in line with one another with 2 cmspacing betweenthe
two leads placed on each leg. the anterior tibialis is the first muscle group when starting on the shin
bone, just below the knee, and sliding the fingers outward not inward.
while 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 lable bad data where the pluse oximeter falied.
b. do nothing as the report is accurate.
c. reschedule the pt for a repeat study becasue of corrupted data.
