Emergency & Disaster Nursing / Paramedicine / Healthcare Simulation &
Safety / Nursing
This DMEC‑CLMS exam prep covers disaster triage
START/SALT/JumpStart), chemical/radiological/explosive incidents,
airway emergencies, shock, burns, trauma, sepsis, anaphylaxis,
medication safety, CLMS data use, just culture, simulation debriefing,
SBAR/communication, ACLS algorithms, teamwork (CUS,
two‑challenge), ethical/legal issues, infection control, documentation,
and patient safety (never events, root cause analysis). Integrates clinical
emergency medicine, learning management systems, and healthcare
quality
Questions
1. A 56‑year‑old patient with a history of type 2 diabetes presents to the
emergency department with confusion, rapid breathing, and a fruity odor
on the breath. Which condition should the clinical team suspect first,
and what is the priority diagnostic test?
A) Hypoglycemia; immediately administer oral glucose
B) Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA); stat serum glucose and blood gas
, Page 2 of 128
C) Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS); urine ketone dipstick
D) Lactic acidosis; serum lactate level
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: The fruity breath (acetone) and Kussmaul breathing suggest
DKA. Priority is confirming hyperglycemia and acidosis. HHS typically
lacks ketosis.
2. A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter for a
female patient. Which sequence of steps correctly maintains aseptic
technique, and which action would break sterile field?
A) Open the kit, don sterile gloves, cleanse meatus with antiseptic using
a single swab front‑to‑back, then lubricate catheter tip with sterile
lubricant from the kit – using a non‑sterile swab for cleansing breaks the
field.
B) Don sterile gloves, open the kit, place sterile drape, cleanse each
labial fold with separate antiseptic swabs moving front‑to‑back, then
lubricate catheter tip – using the same swab for both sides breaks the
field.
C) Cleanse with betadine using circular motion from outer to inner, then
don gloves – touching the inside of the wrapper without sterile gloves
breaks the field.
D) Insert the catheter immediately without draping – not using a sterile
drape breaks the field.
, Page 3 of 128
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Rationale: Standard aseptic technique requires separate swabs for each
side, front‑to‑back. Using one swab for both sides contaminates the
field.
3. A clinical learning management system (CLMS) logs that a student
viewed a module on hand hygiene but did not complete the post‑test.
Two weeks later, the same student is observed leaving a patient’s room
without performing hand hygiene. Which statement best describes the
relationship between knowledge and behavior in this context?
A) Knowledge always predicts behavior; the student must not have
viewed the module.
B) The student demonstrated knowledge decay because the module
lacked interactive simulation.
C) Hand hygiene is an automatic habit; forgetting one time does not
indicate a systemic problem.
D) CLMS data cannot assess skill transfer; observed non‑compliance
requires remediation regardless of module completion.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Rationale: CLMS tracks didactic completion but not real‑world
application. Direct observation is the gold standard, and any lapse
requires corrective action.

4. In a disaster management and emergency care (DMEC) simulation, a
triage officer encounters four victims after a building collapse. Victim A
is walking but has a minor scalp laceration. Victim B has a sucking chest
wound and is conscious. Victim C is apneic with no pulse. Victim D has a
fractured femur and is crying in pain. Using a START triage system, which
color should be assigned to each, and what is the most critical error a
new responder might make?
A) A=Green, B=Red, C=Black, D=Yellow; error is labeling walking
wounded as Yellow.
B) A=Yellow, B=Red, C=Black, D=Green; error is failing to re‑assess
breathing after repositioning airway.
C) A=Green, B=Red, C=Black, D=Yellow; error is triaging a non‑walking
but minor injury as Red.
D) A=Green, B=Yellow, C=Black, D=Red; error is giving Red to a femur
fracture instead of chest wound.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Rationale: START: Green (minor, walking), Red (immediate, chest
wound), Black (deceased/no pulse), Yellow (delayed, femur fracture).
Common error is over‑triaging Yellow as Red.
5. A patient is prescribed warfarin for atrial fibrillation. Which instruction
regarding dietary vitamin K intake is most accurate, and which
concurrent medication would require the most urgent INR monitoring
adjustment?
