a. Extreme thirst, restlessness
b. Poor mentation, stridor
c. Cyanosis, slow respirations
d. Pale skin, hypertension CORRECT ans> a. Extreme thirst, restlessness
Rationale: Extreme thirst and restlessness are both classic signs and symptoms of
shock. You would also
expect to find pale, cool, clammy skin, altered mental status, rapid and shallow
respirations, and
increased heart rate.
Question 2: You arrive on scene with your partner to a slip and fall. The patient is a 49 year old
male who slipped and fell while jumping out of a boat and onto a dock. After hitting the dock he
fell into the water where his friends pulled him out. He is conscious and complaining only of
pain in his left shoulder. He is laying supine on the dock. He is shivering and holding his elbow.
The proper course of action would be?
a. Cut off the wet clothing, high flow Ó, and check CMS
b. Load him on a backboard with c spine precautions, Ó, and transport
c. Put a blanket on him, Ó, and traction splinting
d. Ó, traction splinting, and transport CORRECT ans> a. Cut off the wet clothing, high
flow Ó, and check CMS
,Rationale: Getting the wet clothes off him to help prevent shock, along with High flow Ó, and
checking the ciruclation, motor function, and sensation of the affected
limb would be the best choice. The other answers never checked CMS which is
very necessary.
Question 3: Where is the ulna located in the body? a. The thumb side of the arm
b. The big toe side of the leg
c. The little toe side of the leg
d. The little finger side of the arm CORRECT ans> d. The little finger side of the arm
Rationale: The ulna is the outside bone of the arm in line with the little finger.
Question 4: What is the best definition of a fistula used in hemodialysis?
a. An external shunt
b. An internal connection between a graft and a shunt
c. A surgically created connection between a venule and an artery.
d. An internal shunt CORRECT ans> d. An internal shunt
Rationale: The best definition of a fistula used in hemodialysis is "an internal
shunt" which connects an
artery to a vein.
Question 5: It is your duty as an EMT to diagnose a diabetic condition as:
a. Hypoglycemic
b. Hyperglycemic
c. Serious
d. None of the above CORRECT ans> d. None of the above
,Rationale: You need to manage airway, breathing, and circulation, and transport in
a safe and expedient
manner. It is not your job to diagnose.
Question 6: Proper use of an AED should include:
a. Measuring from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe
b. Moistening the pads to ensure electrical conductivity
c. Establishing the patient does not have a pulse
d. Three consecutive shocks CORRECT ans> c. Establishing the patient does not have
a pulse
Rationale: An AED should only be used on a patient who has no pulse. CPR
should be continued after each shock, per the 2010 AHA Guidelines.
Question 7: You and your partner Bob are called to the scene of a man down. The report said the
man has no pulse and that family members are doing CPR. Upon arriving at the scene what 3
things are you going to do first?
a. Open their airway, tell the bystander to stop CPR, and put your gloves on
b. Question the bystanders, direct them to stop CPR ,and check for pulse
c. Hook up the AED, open their airway, and insert an adjunct
d. Attach the AED, tell everyone to stand back, and hit the analyze button CORRECT
ans> b. Question the bystanders, direct them to stop CPR ,and check for pulse
Rationale: Your gloves should be on prior to coming in contact with the patient.
You would attach an AED and shock if indicated, according to AHA Guidelines
Question 8: Which of the following can mimic alcohol intoxication? a. Head injury
b. Hypoglycemia
c. Diabetic ketoacidosis
d. All of the above CORRECT ans> d. All of the above
, Rationale: All of these things can mimic alcohol intoxication. Hypoxia, postictal state from
seizure, stroke, tumors, and of course drug use may all appear as intoxication by alcohol.
Question 9: Blood that is unoxygenated moves into the lungs through the? a. Pulmonary artery
b. Pulmonary valve
c. Pulmonary vein
d. Aortic arch CORRECT ans> a. Pulmonary artery
Rationale: Blood travels into the lungs from the pulmonary artery. This is the only
artery in the body that
carries unoxygenated blood.
Question 10: You and your partner Mark arrive on scene to find a 35 year old man who is
slurring hisspeech. He shows positive for left arm drift and the left side of his face is drooping
slightly when he tries to speak. How should this patient be transported?
a. On their left side
b. In Fowler's
c. Trendelenburg
d. On their right side CORRECT ans> a. On their left side
Rationale: A patient who is showing signs of a stroke should be transported with
the affected side down,
with the head elevated about 6 inches.
Question 11: Epinephrine _________________.
a. Constricts vessels and relaxes airway passages
b. Dilates vessels and increases pulse rate
c. Is administered by autoinjector only
d. Is not produced naturally by the body CORRECT ans> a. Constricts vessels and
relaxes airway passages
