1) Which of the following refers to a program or process for evaluating and
improving the effectiveness of an ems system?
A) Quality improvement
B) Process improvement plan (pip)
C) Total quality system - a) correct. Quality improvement (qi) consists of continuous
self-review with the purpose of identifying aspects of the ems system that require
improvement, with subsequent action plans to make subsequent
Changes.
B) Incorrect. System effectiveness management does not refer to a program of
evaluating and improving an ems system.
C) Incorrect. A program or process for evaluating and improving the
effectiveness of an ems system is not referred to as a process improvement
program.
D) Incorrect. The term "total quality system" does not refer to a program for
improving the effectiveness of ems systems.
2) Which of the following groups is credited with developing the earliest
documented emergency medical service?
A) The spanish
B) The egyptians
C) The mayans
D) The french - explanation: a) incorrect. The spanish did not develop the first
documented emergency medical service; the french did in the 1700s. B) incorrect.
Although known for progress in technical areas, the egyptians were not responsible for the
first documented emergency medical service. In 1790, the french first began transporting
