Practice prompts based on occupational tasks
These Applyace practice prompts use O*NET tasks for neurodiagnostic technologists. They are not reported employer questions. If you have not done a task, explain your approach and learning needs instead of inventing experience.
1. Indicate artifacts or interferences derived from sources outside of the brain, such as poor electrode contact or patient movement, on electroneurodiagnostic recordings.
Describe a real example of this task. What was your responsibility, and what happened?
2. Monitor patients during tests or surgeries, using electroencephalographs (EEG), evoked potential (EP) instruments, or video recording equipment.
How did you decide which approach or tools to use? Explain the tradeoffs.
3. Conduct tests or studies such as electroencephalography (EEG), polysomnography (PSG), nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and intraoperative monitoring (IOM).
What could go wrong during this task? Describe how you would check your work.
4. Collect patients' medical information needed to customize tests.
Explain a time you coordinated this work with someone else. How did you communicate?
5. Explain testing procedures to patients, answering questions or reassuring patients, as needed.
How would you handle an unfamiliar part of this task? Identify what you would need to learn.
6. Set up, program, or record montages or electrical combinations when testing peripheral nerve, spinal cord, subcortical, or cortical responses.
