CORRECT ANSWERS|ALREADY GRADED A+
1. Electromagnetic Interference: When one electirc device interrupts the functionof
another electronic device in the radio frequency spectrum
2. 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 theactivity. Modifying the
activity at this point is inappropriate as it could createmore problems without the
core problem being identified. Interviewing the participants is inappropriate because
they have already provided feedback: -Feedback from particpant evaluations of a
simulation activity are positive except forthe ratings on perceived reality compared to real
patients. The operations specialistshould first
3. "The PT has gone into cardiac arrest, so vocalizations cease." - When a PTis in
asystole, heart and respiratory function is absent and therefore PT is unconscious: An
OS is training a new hire who is sitting in the control room during ascenario 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?
4. 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-exposedimage.: An OS
notices that one of the cameras in the sim lab is transmitting an under-exposed image.
Which is the most likely cause?
5. Implement an inspection and cleaning schedule - supports early recog- nition of
problems before they become major issues. Troubleshooting and warranties are
solutions after a problem is identified. Limiting simulator useis unfeasible.: Which of
the following would be the best way to prevent equipmentfailures for new simulators?
6. 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 is assisting in a research study to
determine how many participants maintain sterile techniqueduring a Foley catheter
insertion. What type of research is performed?
7. Medication administration: The OS has been asked if there is a simulation activity
on file to assess competency of the "five rights." The OS knows this refersto
8. Educational goals - Objectives are the tools that guide the learning experi- ence. 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.: Scenario objectives are selected based on the
9. On the Fly: What operation philosophy requires the operator to make all changesto the
simulator during a scenario?
10. : Which is an RCA coupler?
11. 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: The OS isworking with a
simulation educator to complete evaluative scenarios with studentswho will soon be
graduating from a program of study. At the end of each students' scenario, the educator
provides the student with a review of their actions during a scenario. The OS recognizes
that this is an example of
12. Debriefing: 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.
13. 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: An OS has been informed thatthe 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 OSshould recommend what?
14. Alert the participant to clear the bed and remind the group that the shockis not
simulated - safety is paramount: The OS is an embedded standardized participant in the
role of a nursing assistang during a simulation scenario. The OS notices the participants
have a fully charged live defibrillator. One of the participantshas their back to the device, is
doing chest compressions on the simulator, and continues to do so after "CLEAR" is
called. What should the OS do?
15. Centralize all materials to one location where they are secure, but availableto OS -
ensure conssus, version control, and to minimize the risk of tamperingwith the content
of reference materials. This also ensures availability of ma- terials.: What would be
the best strategy for maintaining technical and operating manuals for simulation
equipment?
16. Yellow - CSF is normally clear, but yellow with high bilirubin: The sim educator
requests a task trainer for an activity involving lumbar puncture on a patient
, CHSOS EXAM LATEST 2023-2024 ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND

with a high bilirubin. the OS should prime the task trainer with what color simulatedCSF?
17. Meet the manufacturer's specifications for the simulator - incorrect lube may
void the warranty or damage the simulator: When selecting a lubricant to use during
an intubation simulation scenario, the lubricant must
18. Talk to the simulation facilitator about the importance of debriefing - debriefing
time must be greater than or equal to time spent in the scenario. Research
demonstrated that learning occurs the most in debrief. It is the OS'responsiblity to
reinforce the standards. Modifying the schedule is unfeasiblebecasue it is pre-
determined and would impact the learning of other partici- pants.: A simulation
activity is exceeding the amount of time originally scheduled and there is not enough time
to facilitate a full debriefing session. The sim facilitatorinforms the OS the debriefing will
be omitted to allow more time for the activity. TheOS should
19. A task trainer and a standardized/simulated PT - Actor would portray anxiety
and task trainer allows participant to perform the task while engagingwith PT: The
sim educator requests an activity that requires the learner to interactwith an anxious PTG
while instarting and IV. Which sim modality would be most appropriate?
20. jpeg - provides compression. Raw, bmp, and eps do not compress: An OShas a
digital x-ray. Saving it as which of the following will result in the smallest file size?
21. The policies of the center on the use of resources - Opinion of sim centerdirector,
past practice related to donating supplies, requested supplies will be returned in a
timely manner could cause inconsistent practices and dam-age/loss of resources: An
OS is asked to provide medical supplies for an outsideevent. What consideration is most
important to the OS' response to this request?
22. Perform a root cause analysis - provides formalized mechanism for prob-lem
identification and action planning: An OS has been requested to perform four days of
simulation that utilizeds the simulator that frequently fails after two daysof use. The
simulation is scheduled a month from now. What should the OS do?
23. Alignment of schedules - volume of participants needed is typically higherthan
single-professional activities. Coordinating the schedules of profession-als from
various groups is often more complex and less flexible. Availability of equipment,
faculty, and cost may all adjust the activity, but without the participants, the activity
cannot occur.: Which is a common initial barrier to interprofesional education?
24. Increasing the realism of simulation scenarios - increases participant
engagement. When participants are engaged, they are more likely to retain
