DOT Certification Practice Exam

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for individuals with CPAP use?

1. Regular follow-ups with a treating provider

2. Documentation of compliance

3. Submission of compliance data every 3 months

4. Regular sleep studies

The correct answer is: Regular sleep studies

The option that outlines a requirement not typically mandated for individuals using Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is regular sleep studies. While sleep studies may initially be conducted for diagnosis purposes and to determine the appropriateness of CPAP therapy, they are not a requirement for ongoing CPAP use. Regular follow-ups with a treating provider, documentation of compliance, and the submission of compliance data every three months are generally necessary components for ensuring that the treatment is effective and being used correctly. Regular sleep studies are not routinely required once CPAP therapy is initiated unless a significant change in the patient's condition occurs, warranting further assessment.
