EEG semester 1 102-2 UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
EEG- Electroencephalogram - CORRECT ANSWER - is the recording of the electrical
activity in the brain through electrodes attached to the head.
MLST- Multiple Sleep Latency Test - CORRECT ANSWER - Series f recordings done to
monitor a person's sleep patterns by recording eye movements, brains electrical activity, muscle
tone changes all done during short sleep durations. The patients are monitored and allowed a
specific amount of time to fall asleep and then once asleep is permitted to sleep a specific
amount of time.
NCS- Nerve Conduction Study - CORRECT ANSWER - is used to evaluate the function
of peripheral nerves. A low intensity electric shock is applied to individual nerves with a
stimulating electrode and electrical responses are measured to define disorders of peripheral
nerves.
Intraoperative Monitoring - CORRECT ANSWER - use of neurophysiological monitoring
techniques during surgery to provide information to the surgeon about nervous system integrity.
Evoked Potentials - CORRECT ANSWER - are recordings of electrical activity from the
brain, spinal nerves, or sensory receptors in response to specific external stimulation. These tests
are helpful in evaluating a number of different neurological problems, including spinal cord
injuries, hearing loss, blurred vision and blind spots, acoustic neuroma, and optic neuritis. These
studies are typically performed in the lab however can also be done in conjunction with
intraoperative monitoring.
The wrist is ____ to the hand? - CORRECT ANSWER - proximal
The brain is _____ to the spinal cord? - CORRECT ANSWER - superior
Choose the most appropriate description of "cervical"? - CORRECT ANSWER - Neck
, Choose the most appropriate description of "thoracic"? - CORRECT ANSWER - Chest
What is the primary function of the Frontal Lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER - Movement
What is the primary function of the Parietal Lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER - Sensation
What is the primary function of the Temporal Lobe? - CORRECT ANSWER - Auditory
The Occipital Lobe is responsible for? - CORRECT ANSWER - Vision
Electrode Impedance - CORRECT ANSWER - Measured after electrodes are applied
Artifact - CORRECT ANSWER - recorded during an EEG but originates from a source
outside the brain
Electrode Resistance - CORRECT ANSWER - Measured when the electrode is off the
scalp
Surface Electrodes - CORRECT ANSWER - Disc shaped electrodes that record from the
scalp at specific areas that are measured using the International 10/20 System of Electrode
Placement
Subdermal Electrodes - CORRECT ANSWER - Needle Electrodes
Subdermal electrodes are used primarily in what type of patient? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Comatose
Risks associated with Subdermal electrodes include: - CORRECT ANSWER - Infection
