A

79%

27
Q

29
Q

The Colorado SFST validation study was: _______

A

the first full field study that utilized law enforcement personnel experienced in the use of SFSTs

30
Q

The ________ SFST validation field study was undertaken because of the nationwide trend towards lowering the BAC limits to 0.08

A

San Diego

31
Q

The three general categories of nystagmus are:

  1. ____
  2. ____
  3. ____
A

Vestibular;
Neural;
Pathological Disorders and Diseases

32
Q

________ occurs when the person is spun around or rotated rapidly, causing the fluid in the inner ear to be disturbed. If it were possible to observe the eyes of a rotating person, they would be seen to jerk noticeably.

A

Rotational Nystagmus

33
Q

_____ when the person stops spinning, the fluid in the inner ear remains disturbed for a period of time and the eyes continue to jerk.

A

Post Rotational Nystagmus

34
Q

Neither Rotational nor Post Rotational Nystagmus will interfere with the ______ test because of the conditions under which they occur.

A

HGN

35
Q

________ occurs when fluid motion in the canals of the vestibular system is stimulated by temperature as by putting warm water in one ear and cold in the other.

A

Caloric Nystagmus

36
Q

_____ occurs when a foreign fluid, such as alcohol, that alters the specific gravity of the blood is in unequal concentrations in the blood and the vestibular system. This causes the vestibular system to respond to gravity in certain head positions, resulting in nystagmus.

A

Positional Alcohol Nystagmus

37
Q

____ occurs when the eyes fixate on an object that suddenly moves out of sight, or when the eyes watch sharply contrasting moving images. including watching strobe lights, rotating lights, or rapidly moving traffic in close proximity.

A

Optokinetic Nystagmus

38
Q

___ is a natural nystagmus that keeps the sensory cells of the eye from tiring. It is the most common type of nystagmus. It happens to all of us, all the time. This type of nystagmus produces extremely minor tremors or jerks of the eyes. These tremors are usually too small to be seen with the naked eye.

A

Physiological Nystagmus

39
Q

____ is a form of nystagmus that occurs when the eyes attempt to maintain visual fixation on a stimulus.

A

Gaze Nystagmus

40
Q

Gaze Nystagmus is separated into three types:

  1. ___
  2. ___
  3. ___
A
  1. Horizontal
  2. Vertical
  3. Resting
41
Q

The examinations you conduct to assess possible medical impairment include:

A

Equal Pupil Size;
Resting Nystagmus;
Equal Tracking

42
Q

The _____ SFST validation study was the first full field study that utilized law enforcement personnel experienced in the use of SFSTs.

A

Colorado

43
Q

Types of Vestibular Nystagmus:

A

Rotational Nystagmus,
Post Rotational Nystagmus,
Caloric Nystagmus,
Positional Alcohol Nystagmus

44
Q

Types of Neural Activity:

A

Optokinetic Nystagmus,
Physiological Nystagmus,
Gaze Nystagmus

45
Q

Types of Pathological Disorders and Diseases:

A

Brain tumors and other brain damage, some diseases of the inner ear. These occur in very few people and in even fewer drivers.

46
Q

Alternative tests that can be used if HGN, WAT, or OLS can not be used?

A

Finger Count,
Count Down,
Alphabet

47
Q

_______ Involuntary jerking of the eyes, occurring as the eyes gaze to the side.

A

Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus

48
Q

To prevent Optokinetic Nystagmus an officer may do the following so it will not interfere with the test:

A

Turn off rotating lights, and

face person away from rapidly moving traffic in close proximity.

49
Q

The presence of this type of nystagmus is associated with high doses of alcohol for that individual.
