When one electirc device interrupts the function of another
electronic device in the radio frequency spectrum -
correct answer ✅Electromagnetic Interference
Feedback from particpant evaluations of a simulation activity are
positive except for the ratings on perceived reality compared to real
patients. The operations specialist should first ________ -
correct answer ✅Assess the presentation of the simulation
activity with the simulation team - this allows team to gather more
info from multiple sources. THe team will likely have insights to
curriculum, participant experience, and sim activity concepts that
would help determine the beset course of action to improve the
activity. Modifying the activity at this point is inappropriate as it
could create more problems without the core problem being
identified. Interviewing the participants is inappropriate because
they have already provided feedback
An OS is training a new hire who is sitting in the control room
during a scenario in which a sinus rhythm converts to asystole. Near
the end of the scenario, the PT stops vocalizations. The new hire
asks the OS why this happened. What is the best response? -
correct answer ✅"The PT has gone into cardiac arrest, so
vocalizations cease." - When a PT is in asystole, heart and
respiratory function is absent and therefore PT is unconscious

An OS notices that one of the cameras in the sim lab is transmitting
an under-exposed image. Which is the most likely cause? -
correct answer ✅Light source is behind the subject will result in
an under-exposed image. If the light source is behind the camera,
this may result in an over-exposed image.
Which of the following would be the best way to prevent
equipment failures for new simulators? -
correct answer ✅Implement an inspection and cleaning schedule
- supports early recognition of problems before they become major
issues. Troubleshooting and warranties are solutions after a
problem is identified. Limiting simulator use is unfeasible.
The OS is assisting in a research study to determine how many
participants maintain sterile technique during a Foley catheter
insertion. What type of research is performed? -
correct answer ✅Quantitative research - based on numbers.
Qualitative research aims to explain a phenomenon or is used to
gain insight. For example, what are the participants attitudes
toward breaking sterile technique.

The OS has been asked if there is a simulation activity on file to
assess competency of the "five rights." The OS knows this refers to
______ -
correct answer ✅Medication administration
Scenario objectives are selected based on the ________ -
correct answer ✅Educational goals - Objectives are the tools that
guide the learning experience. In order to develop appropriate
scenario objectives, educational goals must be defined. This allows
the participant to achieve the desired outcomes of the simulation
experience.
What operation philosophy requires the operator to make all
changes to the simulator during a scenario? -
correct answer ✅On the Fly
Which is an RCA coupler? -
correct answer ✅
The OS is working with a simulation educator to complete
evaluative scenarios with students who will soon be graduating
from a program of study. At the end of each students' scenario, the

a scenario. The OS recognizes that this is an example of _______ -
correct answer ✅Performance feedback - unidirectional, meaning
the educator provides one-on-one assessment of the learner
identifying gaps in their performance based on set standards
without opening a dialogue with the learner
Bi-directional interactive discussion. It is facilitated in a manner that
encourages learners to reflect on activities, discuss areas for
improvement, and assimilate knowledge and skills. -
correct answer ✅Debriefing
An OS has been informed that the older full body simulator is being
replaced. A current preprogrammed scenario can be converted for
use with the new simulator's control software. A new featur not
previously available in the older simulator will improve scenario
fidelity. The OS should recommend what? -
correct answer ✅The scenario on file to be converted, and
amended to include the new feature - this takes advantage of the
previously validated scenario while allowing for the new features to
be incorporated
