CHC SAE PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS CORRECTLY ANWERED & REVIEWED. A reason for having all normal (non-emergency) branch circuits fed from a single distribution panel at a particular patient bed location is to minimize A. The occurrence of electrical fires. B. Possible micro-shock to a patient. C. The number of outlets at the bedside. D. Possible potential differences between outlet grounds. - D. This requirement (NFPA 99-2012 6.3.2.2.1.1 (A)) minimizes the differences in potential (voltage) between grounds on the normal branch circuits. If differences in potential are substantial, there can be adverse effects on connected medical equipment. It also is easier to trace the circuits back to a single distribution panel rather than to multiple panels, which can be especially important when emergency conditions might require rapid restoration of power. According to the 2010 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities and the 2014 FGI Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities, which of the following medical gas systems are required in a typical medical/surgical patient room? A. vacuum and oxygen B. medical air and oxygen C. vacuum and medical air D. nitrous oxide and oxygen - A. This is the correct answer based on the 2010 FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities Table 2.1-6 and the 2014 FGI Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities. A piece of equipment must be delivered immediately for installation. It does not fit into the original logistics plan for primary product delivery. The only logical delivery site is next to the main entry where there is adequate area for the delivery vehicle. Which of the following modifications to the logistics plan needs to be implemented? A. Notify the fire department. B. Schedule delivery for an off-hours installation. C. Coordinate with hospital security to maintain access. D. Require the driver to relocate and deliver at another location. - C. Parking a large vehicle at the main entrance may obstruct patient and visitor access, requiring assistance in directing traffic and pedestrians during the delivery period. The owner of an outpatient diagnostic center is planning an expansion and considers adding several new imaging modalities. The owner asks for the construction manager's input on when the medical imaging equipment selections should be made. Which of the following is the construction manager's BEST response? A. Modalities and manufacturer of equipment can be decided at any point, as long as it is before the concrete foundations are poured. B. The modalities should be determined before the end of Schematic Design and equipment manufacturers considered for each modality should be arranged prior to completion of Design Development. C. The MRI and CT scanner manufacturer and model need to be selected at Schematic Design, but the catheterization lab equipment can be selected at any time prior to start of construction. D. All of the medical imaging equipment decisions should be made prior to starting Schematic Design in or - B. This response allows the design team to accommodate all of the anticipated final equipment features into the project. A decision on a specific model can be made later, often well into the construction process depending on the structure and location of equipment. (u) C. Selecting specific models of equipment does not allow the medical staff flexibility to select better equipment as it becomes available. A new hospital is being developed on a steep sloping site. Several levels will have doors exiting to grade from different levels of the building. Perimeter lengths of the building at each level are as follows: · Level 8 all above ground · Level 7 all above ground · Level 6 5% of the perimeter is at grade · Level 5 30% of the perimeter is at grade · Level 4 20% of the perimeter is at grade · Level 3 40% of the perimeter is at grade · Level 2 5% of the perimeter is at grade · Level 1 entirely below grade According to the NFPA 101-2000 (Life Safety Code), which of the following levels of this building is the primary level of exit discharge? A. Level 6 B. Level 5 C. Level 4 D. Level 3 - C. NFPA 101-2012 details that "primary level of exit discharge of a building shall be the lowest story whose floor is level with or above finished grade on the exterior wall line for 50% or more of its perimeter." In this case, the perimeter at grade for Levels 4 and above is the sum of each of those levels. That is 5% at Level 6, 30% at Level 5, and 20% at Level 4 for a total of 55% at Level 4 or above. This information may become important when deciding whether a new building will be considered a high-rise building, thereby requiring additional fire protection features under the Code. Which of the following treatment areas requires lead as a shielding material? A. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suite B. electromyography (EMG) laboratory C. computerized tomography (CT) scanning suite D. ultrasound examination room - C. CT devices use ionizing radiation (x-rays) in their operation. Lead shielding blocks ionizing radiation and protects CT operators and other people in adjacent areas.
