BUNDLED REVIEW GUIDE
●● 2nd stage of labor
Answer: The hallmark finding in the second stage of labor is the
complete delivery of the baby.
●● 3rd stage of labor
Answer: The third stage occurs when the placenta delivers.
●● Ligaments connect....
Answer: Bone to Bone
●● Tendons connect
Answer: Bone to Muscle
●● START Triage 1st Step
Answer: START triage begins by asking patients to get up and walk to a
collection point
●● START Triage 2nd step
,Answer: respirations are assessed
●● START Triage 3rd Step
Answer: if the patient is not breathing, the airway is opened.
●● START Triage 4th Step
Answer: Pulse is then assessed
●● START Triage 5th Step
Answer: Check mental status.
●● Rule of 9's:Child:BACK
Answer: child's back represents 18% of his body surface area
●● Rule of 9's:Child: Both Legs (Front & Back)
Answer: the front and back of both legs each represent 7%
●● Rule of 9's:Child:Torso (Front & Back)
Answer: child's anterior and posterior torso would represent 36%
●● Primary blast stage
,Answer: also known as the pressure wave), damages hollow, gas
containing organs of the body such as the lungs, GI system, inner ears,
and sinuses.
●● Secondary blast
Answer: The secondary phase causes cause blunt and penetration
injuries from flying debris.
●● Tertiary phase of blast
Answer: tertiary phase are injuries sustained from the patient being
thrown back and impacting something (wall, ground, etc.).
●● A 71-year-old female has fallen and complains of left hip pain. On
examination you note her left foot is rotated laterally. This finding most
likely indicates a
Answer: femur fracture
●● "5 Rights" of medication administration.
Answer: right patient, right medication, right route, right dose, and right
time.
●● If you are responsible for establishing the landing zone for the
helicopter, what is the minimum size of the LZ you should prepare
assuming the rescue efforts are occurring at night?
, Answer: The minimum size of the landing zone at night is 100' by 100'.
During daylight, the minimum LZ zone is 60' by 60'. In either situation
the LZ should be square, with a marker indicating the direction of wind
travel
●● Which one of the following is a sign of Cushing's triad (Cushing's
reflex) that occurs with traumatic brain injury?
Answer: The vital signs are an increased blood pressure, slowing pulse
rate, and irregular respirations (classically seen as Cheyne-Stokes).
●● Classes of hemorrhage
Answer: A Class III hemorrhage is said to occur when the patient has
lost 30-40% of their circulating blood volume. This is a significant bleed
due to the fact that the body's compensatory mechanisms are maximized,
and any additional blood loss will now create significant disturbances in
hemodynamic stability. In Class I and II hemorrhage, blood pressure
remains acceptable, in Class IV hemorrhage the blood pressure drops
dangerously low.
●● APGAR SCORE
Answer: Appearance: 0=blue/pale; 1=blue & pink; 2=no cyanosis-all
pink
Pulse Rate: 0=Absent; 1=<100; 2=>100
