Not likely. That would have been a part 1 question. Here you will be looking at data and needing to know what stages are presented but probably not that much scoring. But knowing what stage the patient is in will be necessary to answer the question correctly. Usually knowing if they are in SWS or REM is most important to make diagnosis. There are not trying to trick you, so don't expect a situation where there is no K's or spindles from 3.5 minitues and it is critical to know that for the answer.
