When assisting a physician during a procedure requiring conscious sedation, which of the following supplies need to be on hand?
  1. Supplemental oxygen
  2. Oxygen saturation monitor
  3. Holter monitor
  4. Suction device
Explanation
Answers: A, B and D-When a patient is under conscious sedation, the respiratory therapist should ensure supplemental oxygen, a saturation monitor, and a suction device are at bedside.

A Holter monitor is not needed. A Holter monitor would be utilized to monitor cardiac activity greater than 24 hours, not during a short-term procedure requiring conscious sedation.
