Intra-operative Neurologic Monitoring as a Career Path for Audiologists

---

1.  Which of the following members of the operating room may not interact with the patient? Anesthesiologist Circulating Nurse Surgical Technician Vendor

2.  Of the following electrophysiological procedures, which is the least likely to be utilized in NIOM? Electromyography Auditory Brainstem Response Visual Evoked Potentials Somatosensory Evoked Potentials

3.  The somatosensory evoked potential and auditory brainstem response differ in that the former can record activity from: Cortex Cz to mastoid Brainstem Peripheral Nerve

4.  The most appropriate term for an evoked potential recording with no reliable replication due to contamination by 60 cycle interference is: Reliable Normal Unreliable Absent

5.  One of the most relevant evoked potentials for use in NIOM is: ABR SSEP P300 None of the above are used in NIOM

6.  An audiologist performing NIOM may NOT: Acquire electro-neurophysiologic responses Interpret ABR reliability Discuss evoked potential anatomical generators Diagnose pathological conditions

7.  A main difference between the acquisition of sensory vs. motor evoked potentials is: Averaging Evoked to peripheral nerve stimulation Reflect supra-tentorial brain activity The use of common mode rejection

8.  In comparing the recording of ABR with the recording of SSEP, which of the following parameters are different? filtering time window channels required all of the above

9.  Which of the following audiological procedures utilizes electromyography? ENG OAE ABR VEMPs

10.  A compound action potential (CAP) is recorded from the: Brainstem Cortex Peripheral nerve Cochlea
