RPSGT EXAM Questions AND Correct Answers
A bio-calibration routine is used for: - ✔✔Confirming that all the
wires/electrodes are working properly, verify correct signals, establish
a baseline reference for all channels
A K complex is observed at the end of epoch 60. Low voltage mixed
frequency EEG with increased EMG is observed up through epoch 64.
Another k complex is observed at the start of epoch 65. How would
you score epoch 61-64? - ✔✔N2
A low filter is set at 1Hz. What will occur? - ✔✔Signals at 1 Hz will be
attenuated and may lead to an under scoring of SWS
A patient is found unconscious and breathless in the washroom. The
technologist is unable to get a breath into the patient, even after
repositioning the patient's head. What should the technologist do
next? - ✔✔Straddle the patient and perform abdominal thrusts (chest
compressions)
A patient's EKG tracing shows an irregular R-R rhythm without
alterations to the P, QRS, and the T waves. What is the name if this
arrhythmia? - ✔✔Sinus arrhythmia
A sawtooth or picket fence appearance on the EKG baseline suggests
which type of rhythm? - ✔✔Atrial flutter
, A scoring tech notices the EEG montage is set up with sensitivities of 5
uv/mm. During the testing of an infant, they notice 1-2 Hz frequent
with pen deflections of 20mm. What is true in regards to the
situatation above? - ✔✔EEG voltage criteria meet specifications for
SWS and changing the sensitivity to 10 uv/mm should produce 10 mm
pen deflections.
A tonic-clonic seizure represents the mass firing or synchronization of
large groups of neurons. Which sleep stage would you LEAST expect
to see seizure activity? - ✔✔REM
According to AASM Scoring criteria what is true in regards to scoring
wake for epochs with major body movements? - ✔✔Alpha is present
leading into major body movements
According to the AASM Scoring criteria, what is associated with stage
N1 sleep? - ✔✔Slow rolling eye movements and relatively low-voltage
mixed frequency EEG activity
According to the accepted sleep scoring standards, if other scoring
criteria are met, which of the following activities would be considered
an event when each is 0.5 seconds of duration?
A. PLM
B. Arousal
