ENDOESOPHAGEAL PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS WOULD BE MOST
HELPFUL IN EVALUTATING WHICH SLEEP DISORDERS - Answer SLEEP
RELATED BREATHING DISORDERS
A PATIENT BEING EVALUATED FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP DISORDERED
BREATHING HAS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION. WHAT SHOULD THE TECH DO -
Answer CONTINUE TO OBSERVE AND DOCUMENT RHYTHM
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS CARDIAC RHYTHM -
Answer VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION
HOW WOULD YOU COMPUTE SLEEP EFFICIENCY - Answer TOTAL SLEEP
TIME DIVIDED BY TIME IN BED X 100
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE APNEA + HYPOPNEA INDEX - Answer # APNEAS
AND HYPOPNEAS DIVIDED BY TST X60
WHICH HIGH PASS FILTER SETTING IS MOST APPROPRIATE FOR
RECORDING RESPIRATION - Answer 0.1HZ
THE PURPOSE OF AN EXHALATION PORT IN A CPAP CIRCUIT IS - Answer TO
VENT EXHALED C02
, RPSGT PRACTICE EXAM WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ARE CHARACTERISTIC OF A PVC - Answer THE
QRS IS WIDE AND BIZARRE
A NORMAL VARIATION IN SINUS RHYTHM WHICH IS RELATED TO
RESPIRATORY RATE AND RESULTS FROM VAGAL TONE INHIBITION
DESCRIBES - Answer SINUS ARRHYTHMIA
A SUSTAINED HEART RATE OF >90 BEATS/MINUTE DESCRIBES - Answer
SINUS TACHYCARDIA
PARTIAL AV BLOCK IN WHICH THE PR INTERVAL INCREASES
PROGRESSIVELY UNTIL THERE IS AN ATRIAL IMPULSE WITHOUT A
CORRESPONDING VENTRICULAR BEAT DESCRIBES - Answer MOBITZ TYPE 1
AV BLOCK
WHAT IS THE MOST LIKELY LOW FREQUENCY FILTER SETTING OF CHANNEL
1 - Answer 1.0 HZ
WHICH CHANNEL SETTING IS BEST FOR EMG RECORDING - Answer 2 CHAN 2
HAS A VERY QUICH RETURN TO BASELINE, (VERY SHORT TIME CONSTAT)
REFER TO THE 30 SECOND EPOCH SHOWN HERE. IF THE NEXT EPOCH
CONTAINS 30 SECONDS OF LOW VOLTAGE, MIXED FREQUENCY IN THE 4-7
HZ RANGE, AND NO EYE MOVEMENTS, WHAT IS THE SLEEP STAGE OF THAT
NEXT EPOCH? - Answer STAGE N1 THE EPOCH SHOWN CONTAINS A K
COMPLEX, POSSIBLE A SPINDLE AND LESS THAN 20% HIGH AMPLITUDE
SLOW WAVES, MAKING IT STAGE N2 THERE IS AN AROUSAL AT THE END OF
THE EPOCH. IF THE FOLLOWING EPOCH IS AS DESCRIVED, WITHOUT
EITHER A K COMPLEX OR SPINDLE. IT IS THEN STAGE N1
A PATIENT HAS POOR EXTREMITY CIRCULATION THAT IS AFFECTING THE
ACCURACY OF THE PULSE OXIMETRY READINGS FROM FINGER PROBE.
WHICH WOULD BE THE MOST APPROPRIATE ACTION - Answer PUT THE
PROBE ON THE PATIENTS EAR
SCORING STAGE N1 SLEEP REQUIRES AN ABSENCE OF - Answer SLEEP
SPINDLES
CARDIAC ACTIVITY IN WHICH ALL ATRIAL IMPULSES ARE BLOCKED AT THE
AV JUNCTION, AND THE ATRIA AND VENTRICLES BEAT INDEPENDENTLY IS
CALLED - Answer 3RD DEGREE AV BLOCK
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXAMPLE OF A RHYTHMIC MOVEMENT
DISORDER - Answer JACTATIO CAPITIS NOCTURNA
SLEEP TERRORS ARE USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH - Answer OCCURRENCE
IN THE 1ST THIRD OF THE SLEEP PERIOD
