PEDIATRIC PATIENTS - ANSWERS-END-TIDAL CO2
THE ABILITY TO REMONTAGE WHILE RECORDING ON
DIGITAL EQUIPMENT IS THE RESULT OF - ANSWERS-SYSTEM
REFERENCING
,WHEN REVIEWING A PATIENT'S HISTORY IN PREPARATION
FOR A POLYSOMNOGRAM, PHYSIOLOGIC FINDINGS
SUGGESTIVE OF HYPOVENTILATION INCLUDE - ANSWERS-
HYPOXEMIA AND HYPERCAPNIA
WHEN THE AMPLITUDE OF A SIGNAL EXCEEDS THE PHYSICAL
LIMITATIONS OF A CHANNEL THE MOST IMPORTANT
ADJUSTMENT THE TECH CAN MAKE TO OPTIMIZE
WAVEFORM DISPLAY IS TO - ANSWERS-DECREASE
SENSITIVITY
WHEN INTERMITTENT 60 HZ ACTIVITY OCCURS IN THE F4-
M1 ELECTRODES DURING REM SLEEP THE BEST IMMEDIATE
ACTION WOULD BE TO - ANSWERS-RELY ON F3-M2
A PATIENT WITH MILD DEMENTIA BECOMES MORE
CONFUSED AND/OR AGITATED IN THE EARLY EVENING. THE
PATIENT IS MOST LIKELY EXPERIENCING - ANSWERS-
SUNDOWNING
THE MOST COMMON METHOD TO MONITOR BLOOD
OXYGEN SATURATION DURING POLYSOMNOGRAPHY IS -
ANSWERS-PULSE OXIMETRY
,THE MOST APPROPRIATE ACTION A TECHNOLOGIST WOULD
TAKE WHEN THERE IS CONFIRMED VENTRICULAR
TACHYCARDIA GREATER THAN 30 SECONDS IS - ANSWERS-
INITIATE EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM
A PATIENT'S CHART INDICATES THAT THEY USE 30 L/MIN OF
OXYGEN AT HOME. THE TECH NOTES THAT THE PHYSICIAN'S
ORDERS FOR THE PSG SPECIFIES THE STUDY WITHOUT
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN AND TO ADD 1.0 L/MIN OXYGEN IF
THE SATURATION IS LESS THAN 89%. THE BEST ACTION FOR
THE TECH IS TO - ANSWERS-CALL THE PHYSICIAN FOR
CONFIRMATION

THAT SHOULD BE USED TO MONITOR AIRFLOW AND DETECT
APNEA DURING A DIAGNOSTIC STUDY IS - ANSWERS-
ORONASAL THERMAL SENSOR
, WHICH PROCESS WOULD BE AN ADEQUATE ROUTINE FOR
DISINFECTING CUP ELECTRODES AFTER REMOVING
ADHESIVE RESIDUE, GEL AND ORGANIC MATERIAL, AND
WASHING IN WARM WATER AND MILD DETERGENT -
ANSWERS-SOAKING IN 1: 10 BLEACH AND WATER FOR 10
MIN.
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD BE MOST IMPORTANT
TO DOCUMENT DURING A POLYSOMNOGRAM - ANSWERS-
POSITION CHANGES
THE ELECTRODE ARRAY USED FOR RECORDING PHYSIOLOGIC
ACTIVITY IS REFERRED TO AS - ANSWERS-MONTAGE
ACCORDING TO RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES, THE
MAXIMUM ELECTRODE IMPEDANCE FOR EEG AND EOG
RECORDING IS - ANSWERS-5000 OHMS
ACCORDING TO RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES, UNATTENDED

TO IN LAB TESTING WHEN - ANSWERS-THERE IS A HIGH
PROBABILITY OF MODERATE TO SEVERE OSA WITHOUT
COMORBID CONDITIONS
