Q1 multiple-choice · pre-session-prep Pre-session studio prep is best characterised as:
Source: SPMED03 §2 — Pre-session studio prep.
Explanation: Every patient gets the same prep. Skipping it once is the start of skipping it often.
Q2 multiple-select · pre-session-checklist Which of the following are part of the pre-session checklist? (Select all that apply.)
Source: SPMED03 §2 + workbook §1.
Explanation: Operator does not routinely access prior session records — out of scope. All four other items are in the checklist.
Q3 multiple-choice · patient-entry Best practice when bringing a patient onto the platform:
Source: SPMED03 §3 — Patient entry.
Explanation: Communication + pacing + dignity. Operator facilitates; patient sets the pace.
Q4 multiple-choice · mobility-impaired A patient has restricted use of their right arm. The handhold is on the right. Best operator response:
Source: SPMED03 §3 + §7 — Mobility-impaired entry.
Explanation: Adapted handhold + slower pacing + explicit consent. Discipline shifts from generic to adapted without losing dignity or safety.
Q5 multiple-choice · body-language During rotation the patient’s grip on the handhold tightens noticeably + their breathing becomes shallow. Operator should:
Source: SPMED03 §4 — Rotation discipline.
Explanation: Tight grip + shallow breathing = the patient may be approaching distress. Pause is the right tool. Emergency stop is for actual safety events.
Q6 multiple-choice · pause-vs-emergency Distinction between routine pause + emergency stop:
Source: SPMED03 §4 — Pause/stop/emergency-stop classification.
Explanation: Routine vs safety. Wizard pause is gentle, takes a couple of seconds to register. Emergency stop is instant + meant for safety events.
Q7 multiple-choice · emergency-stop-threshold Operator is unsure whether a developing situation warrants emergency stop. Best discipline:
Source: SPMED03 §4 + training-notes mistake 5.
Explanation: Hesitation is the failure mode. Resetting after an unnecessary trigger is cheap; waiting until a real event is in progress is expensive.
Q8 multiple-choice · post-rotation-exit Why does the wizard pause between rotation end + exit prompt?
Source: SPMED03 §5 — Post-rotation exit.
Explanation: Steady-time before exit. Don’t rush past it.
Q9 multiple-choice · infection-control Between sessions the operator should:
Source: SPMED03 §6 — Infection-control reset between sessions.
Explanation: Between-session reset is non-negotiable. Patient-to-patient infection risk is real.
Q10 multiple-choice · special-needs A patient flagged at intake as vasovagal-prone (history of fainting). Operator adaptation:
Source: SPMED03 §7 — Common special-needs profiles.
Explanation: Backup readiness + slower pacing + check-ins. Don’t change the safety protocol; layer additional caution on top.
Q11 multiple-choice · emergency-stop-recovery After an emergency stop because the patient became unsteady:
Source: SPMED03 §4 + training-notes demo 6.
Explanation: Emergency events suspend operations until properly addressed. Patient → staff → documentation → reset → clinic confirmation, in that order.
Q12 true-false · operator-presence It is acceptable for the operator to step out of the session room briefly during a rotation as long as they’re back before the rotation ends.
Source: SPMED03 §3 + training-notes Q&A.
Explanation: Sessions run with the operator continuously present. If the operator must step out unexpectedly, suspend patient flow until they return.
