Absence Seizure
De-identified health information neither identifies nor provides a reasonable basis to identify an
individual.
True
Artifacts are not always undesirable. From the list pick the physiological artifacts that can
provide useful information:
-muscle activity: tremors and movements
-respiration, pulse, and EKG
-eye movements and nystagmus
Which of the following are identified limitations of a local area network (LAN)?
-There is a limited distance between the computers
-There is a lack of outside access to the network
Runs of notched theta in the 6 Hz range, appearing focally in the mid-temporals over one or
both hemispheres during drowsiness and light sleep.

,This is a normal variant called RMTD, or Rhythmic Mid-temporal Theta Discharge.
Stroke is the leading cause of serious long term disability in the U.S
True
Most seizures are______________________
Idiopathic
Depth electrodes, grids, and strips provide:
Detailed information about the location within the brain of seizure onset or focus
The term deja vu refers to:
A false sense of familiarity with the current situation
The olfactory Aura preceding a major seizure is____________
The hallucination of a smell
When recording with indwelling electrodes, only runs of spikes and/ or sharp waves represent
ictal patterns.
False
When symptoms include high fever, stiff neck and terrible headache, what would the diagnosis
likely be?
Meningitis
A direct current (DC) power cable to a piece of equipment plug needs to be correct for the
voltage only.
False
An increase in size of a structure:

"Episodic low amplitude events" or periods of attenuation seen in patients who are acutely ill
from medical events or status epilepticus__________.
Are a recognizable pattern and may serve as a marker for a moderately poor prognosis
A simple visual measure or numeric index of relative hemispheric EEG asymmetries:
Asymmetry spectrogram or asymmetry index graph

The patient often wipes his nose with the hand_______ to the seizure focus after a temporal
lobe complex partial seizure.
Ipsilateral
Why is observation of the patients in LTM so important?
The safety goal of observation is to prevent the morbidity and mortality related to untreated
status epilepticus, cardiac arrest, and or respiratory arrest and falls and to ensure the recording
and clinical examination of every exam
When recorded from over or near a burr hole, the EEG may show_______
Higher amplitude activity over the affected area
When performing an EEG for evaluation of a central nervous system disease that may have
infectious etiology, the technologist should______________
Observe the usual universal precautions
A focal seizure associated with centrotemporal spikes and characterized by paresthesias on one
side of the mouth, followed by ipsilateral twitching of the face, mouth, and pharynx, resulting in
speech arrest and drooling and possibly progressing to generalized tonic clonic seizure is
suggestive of:
Benign Rolandic Epilepsy

GCSE (Generalized Convulsive Status Epilepticus) and are believed to have been treated
successfully
