What is the most ergonomic position Sitting w elbow close to the body and wrist in a
for a sonographer to be in: neutral position
This position will help to decrease muscle fatigue
and injury.
When lifting heavy objects: Keep your back straight and lift w your knees
What document should be available MSDS
to all office staff that details
hazardous materials: The MSDS should be in a location for al employees
to access. This binder should not be confused w the
Exposure Control Plan
An informed consent should: Detail all risks, benefits and alternatives
Medical records should be In accordance w State and Federal guidelines
maintained:
If specific Medicare guidelines are not listed, default
to state or federal guidelines
What is the greatest risk to a patient if Electrical shock
the txd probe is cracked:
What is the minimum PPE (personal Non-sterile gloves
protective equipment) indicated for a
patient w an active weeping ulcer:
,What is the BEST way to clean a txd Antibacterial solution
probe:
Hazards associated w ultrasound Electrical
include: Fire
Bio-effects
The calf muscle pump is responsible 60%
for ejecting what percentage of lower
extremity venous volume:
Ankle flexion helps to: Activate the calf muscle pump
Weight bearing motions will empty the foot. Ankle
flexions will activate the calf muscle pump
Primary dysfunction of the calf muscle Muscle wasting
pump is most likely related to:
Stremmer's sign is used to dx: Lymphedema
Stremmer's sign is a thickened fold of skin at the base
of the 2nd toe or second finger that can be gently
pinched and lifted. The presence of this sign is most
often an early dx indication of primary lymphedema;
however, it can also develop later in secondary
lymphedema

connecting:
A perforator vessel is responsible for communication
between the superficial and deep venous systems.
Tributaries communicate w in the same system

cm vein length w ClosureFast?
How much distance is needed 1 cm
between the heating element and skin
to avoid thermal complications during Having less than 1 cm buffer zone increases the risk
EVTA? of thermal burn to the cutaneous tissues

Which stocking has the highest No stretch
working pressure:
NO stretch garments have the highest working
pressure as the garment will not stretch against
expansion of the lower extremity muscle during
contraction
, Which stocking has the highest No stretch
pressures while walking:
NO stretch garments have the highest working
pressure as the garment will not stretch against
expansion of the lower extremity muscle during
contraction
How should a patient be positioned Prone
for SSV ablation:
Which of the following would be a ABI <0.5
contraindication to compression
stockings:
What are the contraindications to Severe CHF
stocking wear: Septic Phlebitis
ABI <0.5
How much distance is required 2 cm
between the catheter tip and the SFJ:
The catheter tip should also be distal to the
superficial inferior epigastric vein. Pay close attention
to how the question is asked
What is the best way to localize the PW ultrasound
catheter tip of a laser fiber:
What is the best dx tool for Lymphoscintigraphy
lymphedema?
Sentinel lymphnode mapping is an imaging
technique used to identify the lymph drainage basin,
determine the number of sentinel nodes, differentiate
sentinel nodes from subsequent nodes, locate the
sentinel node in an unexpected location and mark
the sentinel node over the skin for bx
