The jgoals jof jPAP jtherapy jinclude jall jof jthe jfollowing jEXCEPT jto
ja.improve jdiminished jlung jcapacity. j
b. jeliminate jflow jlimitations jin jthe jupper jairway. j
c. jeliminate jexcessive jdaytime jsomnolence. j
d. jeliminate jsnoring. j- jANSWER✓✓-A: jImprove jdiminished jlung jcapacity. jThe
jCPAP jand jBiPAP jused jin jthe jsleep jlab jare jnon-invasive jrespiratory jtherapies
jthat jdo jnot jhave jeffects jon jpatient's jlung jcapacity jor jtidal jvolumes. jThe jfocus jof
jthe jPAP jdevices jis jto jmaintain jthe jstructural jintegrity jof jthe jairway, jespecially
jthe jupper jairway, jto jprevent jcollapses jthat jresult jin jobstructive japneas jand
jsnoring.
To jensure jREM jsleep jhas ja jchance jto joccur jduring ja jmultiple jsleep jlatency jtest
jnap, jhow jlong jshould jthat jnap jcontinue? j
a. j25 jminutes jfollowing j"lights jout." j
b. j15 jminutes jfollowing jsleep jonset. j
c. j15 jminutes jfollowing j"lights jout." j
d. j20 jminutes jfollowing jsleep jonset j- jANSWER✓✓-B: j15 jminutes jfollowing jsleep
jonset. jAccording jto jthe jguidelines jof jthe jAmerican jAcademy jof jSleep jMedicine
jfor jthe joperation jof ja jmultiple jsleep jlatency jtest j(MSLT), ja jMSLT jnap jcontinues
jfor j15 jminutes jfollowing jsleep jonset. jThe jfirst jthing jfor jwhich jthe jMSLT jis
jlooking jis jto jsee jif jthe jpatient jis jcapable jof jfalling jasleep jin ja j20- jminute jspace
jof jtime. jIf ja jpatient jdoes jnot jfall jasleep jwithin j20 jminutes, jthe jnap jis jended. jIf
jthe jpatient jfalls jasleep jduring jthe j20-minute jwindow, jthe jnap jcontinues jfor j15
jmore jminutes jfrom jthat jtime jto jsee jif jREM jcan jbe jreached jshortly jafter jsleep
jonset.
Staging jchoices jfor jinfants jinclude jwhich jof jthe jfollowing jcombinations? j
a. jActive jREM jsleep jand jquiet jsleep. j
b. jIndeterminate jsleep, jwake, jand jquiet jsleep. j
c. jActive jREM jsleep jand jdelta jsleep. j
d. jIndeterminate jsleep, jactive jREM jsleep, jand jquiet jsleep. j- jANSWER✓✓-D: jWhen
jscoring jinfant jsleep jstudies, jthe jonly javailable joptions jfor jsleep jstage jscoring
jare jindeterminate jsleep, jactive jREM jsleep, jand jquiet jsleep. jAt jaround j6 jmonths
jof jage, jpediatric jscoring jrules jbecome jmore japplicable jas jwaveforms, jsuch jas
jsleep jspindles, jbecome jmanifested. jAn jinfant's jEEG jis jso junlike jthe jpediatric
jand jadult jwaveforms jthat jidentifying jthe jstandard jsleep jstages jwould jbe
jimpossible.
Heated jhumidity jcan jpossibly jremedy jwhich jof jthe jfollowing jconditions jseen jin
jsome jpatients? j
,a. jPatient jcomplains jof jbeing jcold. j
b. jPatient jmouth-breathes jbecause jof jnasal jcongestion. j
c. jPatient jcomplains jof jdry jthroat jor jnose. j
d. jBoth jB jand jC. j- jANSWER✓✓-D: jWhen jscoring jinfant jsleep jstudies, jthe jonly
javailable joptions jfor jsleep jstage jscoring jare jindeterminate jsleep, jactive jREM
jsleep, jand jquiet jsleep. jAt jaround j6 jmonths jof jage, jpediatric jscoring jrules
jbecome jmore japplicable jas jwaveforms, jsuch jas jsleep jspindles, jbecome
jmanifested. jAn jinfant's jEEG jis jso junlike jthe jpediatric jand jadult jwaveforms jthat

What jis jthe jstandard jlength jof jtime jof jeach jepoch jduring jthe jscoring jof jstages
jin ja jPSG? j
a. j30 jseconds. j
b. j45 jseconds. j
c. j3 jminutes. j
d. j10 jminutes. j- jANSWER✓✓-A: jAccording jto jguidelines jof jthe jAmerican
jAcademy jof jSleep jMedicine jentitled, j"The jVisual jScoring jof jSleep jin jAdults,"
jscoring jby j30-second jepochs jwas jretained jfrom jthe jRechtshaffen jand jKales
jprocess jof jscoring jsleep jstudies. jThe jreason jfor jthe jeither j20- jor j30-second
jview jof jthe jEEG jis jthe jability jto jsee jthe jvertex jspike jwaves, jcomplexes, jand
jspindles jclearly jenough jto jconfirm jsleep jstaging
An jalternating jEEG jpattern jseen jduring jquiet jsleep jin ja jnewborn jinfant,
jconsisting jof jboth jhighand jlow-voltage jactivity jis jtermed j
a. jactive jsleep. j
b. jtrace jalternant. j
c. jsawtooth jwaves. j
d. jslow-wave jsleep j- jANSWER✓✓-B: jTrace jalternant jis jthe jNREM jsleep jfor
jinfants jthat jdiminishes jand jbecomes jnonexistent jbetween j3-6 jweeks jof jage jin
jhealthy jinfants. jThis jpattern jis jfound jin jan jinfant's jslow-wave jsleep jand jafter jthe
jfirst jmonth jof jlife; jit jis jgradually jreplaced jwith jsleep jspindles.
Electrical jsafety jrequires jall jof jthe jfollowing jactions jfrom ja jtechnician jEXCEPT j
a. jchecking jthe jconditions jof jwires jto jassure jnone jare jfrayed jor jdamaged. j
b. jthe japplication jof ja jground jplaced jwith jthe jpulse joximetry jprobe. jc. jthe
japplication jof ja jground jlead jwire jplaced jon jthe jhead jfor jthe jPSG. j
d. jkeeping jliquid jaway jfrom jall jelectrical jcomponents j- jANSWER✓✓-B: jthe
japplication jof ja jground jplaced jwith jthe jpulse joximetry jprobe. jPulse joximetry
jdevices jare jvery jlow-voltage, jpassive jelectrical jdevices jthat jdo jnot jrequire ja
jground jto javoid jpatient jelectrocution. jPulse joximetry jis ja jdirect jcurrent jelectrical
jdevice. jFrayed jand jexposed jwires, jimproperly jgrounded jsurface jelectrodes, jas
jwell jas jwet jequipment jcan jelectrocute ja jpatient.
What jphysiological jeffects jdoes jCPAP jhave jon jthe jbody? j
a. j
b. jImproves jpulmonary jfunction. j
c. jIncreases jblood-gas jexchange jefficacy. j
d. jControls jrespiratory jrate. j- jANSWER✓✓-A: jSplints jthe jairway jto jallow jbreaths
jto jpass jthrough jwithout jocclusion. jThe jCPAP jwill jnot jincrease jpulmonary
jfunction jin jpatients, jand jit jwill jnot jimprove jthe jrate jat jwhich joxygen jis
jtransferred jinto jthe jheart. jHowever, jCPAP jsupports jthe jstructural jintegrity jof jthe
, jairway jwhen jpatients jfail jto jhold jthe jairway jopen jwith jtheir jown jmuscles. jBy
jpreventing ja jcollapse jof jthe jairway, jan japneic jpatient jwill jnever jhave jto jstruggle
jto jreopen jtheir jairway jwhile jasleep.
Before ja jtechnician jbegins jcardiopulmonary jresuscitation jon ja jpatient, jbasic jlife
jsupport jprocedures jrequire jthe jtechnician jto jdo jwhich jof jthe jfollowing? j
a. jContact ja jnurse jfor jassistance. j
b. jVerify jthe jpatient's junresponsiveness. j
c. jCheck jthe jpatient's jpulse. j
d. jListen jfor jthe jpatient's jbreath j- jANSWER✓✓-B: jVerify jthe jpatient's
junresponsiveness. jAccording jto j"Basic jLife jSupport jProcedures" jfrom jthe
jAmerican jHeart jAssociation, jhealth jcare jproviders jshould jnot jinitiate
jcardiopulmonary jresuscitation j(CPR) jon jconscious jand jresponsive jpatients. jThat
jis jnot jto jsay jthat ja jpatient jmust jbe junresponsive jfor jit jto jbe jan jemergency
jsituation; jhowever, jCPR jdoes jrequire jthe jpatient jto jbe junconscious
Which jof jthe jfollowing jis jan jadequate jchemical jdisinfectant jused jto jclean
jsurfaces? j
a. jOxirane. j
b. jFormaldehyde. j
c. jSodium jhypochlorite. j
d. jIsoflurane. j- jANSWER✓✓-C: jSodium jhypochlorite. jOxirane jis ja jcyclic jether
jused jin jhigh-level jsterilization; jit jis jnot jrecommended jfor jcasual jsurface
jcleaning jand jis jfar jtoo jpowerful jfor jsuch ja jtask. jFormaldehyde jis jalso ja jvery
jpowerful jdisinfectant jand jsterilant, jwhich jshould jonly jbe jused jon jcritically
jcontaminated jsurfaces. jIsoflurane jis jan jinhaled jether jgas jused jin janesthetics
jand jwould jnot jbe jappropriate jfor jany jsurface jcleaning. jSodium jhypochlorite, jor
jbleach, jis ja jsafe jand jappropriate jchemical jfor jsurface jcleaning jwhen jused
jaccording jto jdirections
What jshould jthe jtechnician jdo jif jthe jpatient jawakens jand jcomplains jthat jthe
jpressure jis jtoo jhigh? j
a. jSwitch jto jthe jpressures jof jBiPAP jtitration. j
b. jAsk jthe jpatient jto jcontinue jtrying jto jreturn jto jsleep, jand jmake jno jchanges jto
jthe jpressure. j
c. jRestart jpressure jwith jone jthat jthe jpatient jsubjectively jfeels jcomfortable.
d. jReduce jpressure jto jno jless jthan jwhere jobstructive japnea jwas jeliminated. j-
jANSWER✓✓-C: jRestart jpressure jwith jone jthat jthe jpatient jsubjectively jfeels
jcomfortable. jOften jpatients jwill jawaken jfrom jsleep jconfused jand jpanicked jat
jthis jstrange jnew jdevice jthat jthey jforgot jwas jon jtheir jface. jThe jreactions
jcommonly jseen jare janxiety jand jfear. jThe jmost jimportant jgoal jwhen jfacing
jpatients jwho jcomplain jof jthe jpressure jbeing jtoo jhigh jis jfor jthem jto jreturn jto
jsleep. jIf jpatients jcannot jreturn jto jsleep, jthen jthe jtitration jcannot jcontinue. jThe
jtechnician jshould jdo jwhatever jthe jpatients jwant jto jinstill jcalm jand jallow jthem jto
jreturn jto jsleep jas jfar jas jthe jPAP jpressure jis jconcerned, jeven jif jit jdoes jnot
jmake jsense.
Which jof jthe jfollowing jEEG jfrequencies jcan jbe jseen jduring jan jarousal jfrom
jsleep?
a. jAlpha. j
b. jTheta. j
