1. A patient has undergone overnight oximetry. Data shows several episodes of O2
desaturation throughout the night. The RTT would expect orders for which of the
following kinds of testing:
a. V/Q scan
b. pulmonary function testing
c. polysomnography
d. 24-hour Holter monitoring - Correct answer-Your answer: C
Correct answer: C
The use of overnight oximetery is often used to detect O2 desaturation during the
night that may be associated with central or obstructive sleep apnea. Because data

,indicates some periodic desaturation, the practitioner should suspect possible sleep
apnea and should order diagnostic testing that will confirm or rule out the
suspicion.
A routine screening blood gas performed on an asymptomatic patient prior to
surgery shows the following:
pH: 7.38
PaCO2: 42
PaO2: 80
HCO3: 26
SaO2: 96%
COHb: 24%
What should the RRT do?
a. place the patient on a NRB mask
b. report the findings and emphasize that the patient is likely a smoker

,c. evaluate saturation using a single wave-length spectrophotometer
d. run quality control material and evaluate the accuracy of the co-oximeter -
Correct answer-your answer: D
correct answer: D
In this case the patient is presented as asyptomatic. A patient with a COHb level of
24% would feel dyspnea and present with tachypnea. Therefore, the RRT should
evaluate the accuracy of the lab results, specifically the COHb. When checking
accuracy of lab results, one would use quality control measures.
The infection control department of a small hospital informs the RRT supervisor

shows viable spores. The supervisor should do which of the following with the
equipment:

b. record date and place into service
c. wipe with isopropyl alcohol before use

, d. resterilize - Correct answer-your answer: D
correct answer: D
The presence of viable spores indicates the possibility of living organisms
developing in the sterilized package or on the sterilized equipment. Sterilization
suggest the absence of living organisms, therefore the presence of viable spores
indicates the need to resterilize.
A post-op patient is not progressing with sustained maximal inspiratory therapy
and refuses to cough because of pain along the incision site. The RRT should
instruct the patient to:
a. pause at the top of each inspiration
b. press a pillow against the incision site when coughing
c. attempt coughing 1 hour after pain medication has been administered
