CLTM Interactive Practice Test Questions and Answers ==================================================== Question 1 ---------- What is the most common indication for long-term EEG monitoring? - A. Diagnosing epilepsy - B. Monitoring sleep disorders - C. Detecting traumatic brain injuries - D. Assessing psychiatric conditions Correct Answer: A Explanation: Diagnosing epilepsy is the primary purpose of long-term EEG monitoring as it helps identify seizure patterns and provide tailored treatment. Question 2 ---------- What should you review before initiating a long-term EEG study? - A. Patient\'s insurance information - B. Long-term monitoring orders and relevant patient history - C. Hospital staffing schedules - D. Medical equipment inventory Correct Answer: B Explanation: Reviewing the long-term monitoring orders and relevant patient history ensures the EEG study is designed to address the patient\'s specific needs. Question 3 ---------- Which guideline is most relevant to long-term EEG monitoring? - A. CDC Infection Guidelines - B. ACNS Guidelines - C. OSHA Safety Standards - D. American Heart Association CPR Guidelines Correct Answer: B Explanation: The ACNS (American Clinical Neurophysiology Society) Guidelines provide the standards for long-term EEG monitoring practices. Question 4 ---------- What is the first step when applying electrodes for long-term monitoring? - A. Verifying the recording montage - B. Cleaning the skin and checking impedances - C. Initiating the recording process - D. Documenting patient medical history Correct Answer: B Explanation: Properly cleaning the skin and checking impedances ensures a good connection for accurate data recording. Question 5 ---------- Which artifact is most likely caused by a loose electrode? - A. Muscle artifact - B. Electrode pop - C. ECG artifact - D. Breathing artifact Correct Answer: B Explanation: Electrode pops are a common artifact caused by loose or improperly applied electrodes.
