While a 61-year old female in cardiac arrest receives emergency care you note that
her abdomen grows larger with each ventilation provided from a bag-valve mask.
What instructions should you provide?
a. "try delivering each ventilation quickly , and lets slow down the rate."
b. The ventilation rate and force of ventilation need to be increased so that air reaches
the lungs
c. Lets slow the ventilation rate to 12 per minute and not squeeze in as much air with
each breath
d. I need another rescuer to apply firm pressure over the stomach while we ventilate
this patient
Give this one a try later!
c. Lets slow the ventilation rate to 12 per minute and not squeeze as much
air with each breath.
,The spleen of a patient has ruptured. Because it is a solid organ, an OEC Technician

b. pain.
c. infection.
d. inflammation

Which of the following statements about the care and treatment of a patient with a
spinal injury in a prehospital setting is true?
a. Prehospital care for a patient with a spinal injury involves correcting life-threatening
injuries and limiting secondary injury
b. It is important to identify the site of spinal injury so that proper prehospital care can
be rendered
c. Before transporting a critically injured patient with a spinal injury, OEC Technicians
might perform a detailed head-to-toe neurological assessment
d. If a patient with a possible spinal injury is in shock, it is permissible to forego
immobilization because that uses up time during the golden hour

Which of the following situations is occurring in the body of a person in shock?

b. The amount of oxygen reaching the cells is adequate, but carbon dioxide is not
being removed.
c. The blood contains an adequate amount of oxygen but not enough nutrients for
cells to survive.
d. The cells are not getting enough oxygen and nutrients.
Give this one a try later!

Which of the following groups of bones could be involved in a patient with a "broken
leg"?

, A woman who is 36 weeks pregnant has fallen and is complaining of sharp abdominal
pain. She is also experiencing vaginal bleeding. She has tenderness on palpation just
right of the midline of her abdomen. Her pulse is 122, respirations are 22, and blood
pressure is 118/82 mmHg. Based on this presentation, which of the following actions
would you take?
a. Provide low concentration oxygen and transport her
bl Place her in a supine position and immediately transport her
c. Administer high-flow oxygen and immediately transport her.
d. Massage her abdomen, provide high flow oxygen and non-emergency transport
her
Give this one a try later!
c. Administer high-flow oxygen and immediately transport her.
Written instructions that indicate what should be done in a given situation are best
described as:
a. regulations
b. protocols
c. indirect medical oversight
d. direct medical oversight
Give this one a try later!
b. protocols
Your group of climbers has reached an elevation of 8,500 feet. One of the climbers is
increasingly short of breath and now has audible chest congestion. Your party has a
limited supply of oxygen, which you immediately apply to the climber at 15 LMP via a
nonrebreather mask. Based on your assessment that the climber has HAPE (High
Altitude Pulmonary Edema), you recognize that the next necessary treatment is:
