The ABR test procedure generally follows these steps: 1. Preparation: The patient is made comfortable in a quiet environment. For infants, the test is often performed while they are asleep. 2. Electrode Placement: Electrodes are placed on the scalp and earlobes. 3. Sound Stimulation: Clicks or tone bursts are delivered through earphones. 4. Data Recording: The electrodes capture the brain's electrical responses to the sounds, which are then analyzed.
Nurses are responsible for ensuring proper electrode placement, maintaining a calm environment, and comforting the patient throughout the procedure.
