GRADED MOST RECENT!!!
1. You are called to a residence for a 72-year-old
male with a history of COPD who is experiencing
severe shortness of breath. He is sitting in a tripod
position and has a respiratory rate of 34. His oxygen
saturation is 88% on room air. What is your first
intervention?
,A. Administer albuterol via nebulizer
B. Apply a non-rebreather mask at 15 liters per
minute
C. Administer oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters
per minute
Rationale: In patients with COPD, high-flow
oxygen may depress the hypoxic drive. The initial
approach is low-flow oxygen, titrated to maintain
an SpO2 between 88% and 92%, while closely
monitoring the patient for respiratory depression.
D. Assist ventilations with a bag-valve mask
2. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
between the alveoli and the pulmonary capillaries
occurs through which process?
A. Osmosis
B. Active transport
C. Diffusion
Rationale: Diffusion is the passive movement of
gases from an area of higher concentration to an
area of lower concentration. In the lungs, oxygen
diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, and carbon
,dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli.
D. Filtration
3. You arrive at a motor vehicle collision to find a
patient who is unresponsive, with shallow, irregular
gasps at a rate of 6 per minute. What is the most
appropriate management of this patient's airway?
A. Insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway and high-
flow oxygen
B. Insertion of an oropharyngeal airway and
monitoring of respirations
C. Insertion of an oropharyngeal airway and
ventilation with a bag-valve mask and
supplemental oxygen
Rationale: An unresponsive patient without a gag
reflex requires an oropharyngeal airway. A
respiratory rate of 6 with shallow, irregular gasps
indicates inadequate ventilation; therefore,
positive pressure ventilation with a bag-valve
mask is immediately necessary.
D. Suctioning the airway and placing the patient on
a non-rebreather mask
, 4. A 40-year-old male complains of severe, ripping
chest pain that radiates to his back. He is
hypertensive and diaphoretic. You suspect which of
the following conditions?
A. Acute myocardial infarction
B. Pulmonary embolism
C. Pericardial tamponade
D. Aortic dissection
Rationale: Aortic dissection classically presents
with sudden, severe, "tearing" or "ripping" chest
pain that radiates to the back. The hypertension
and diaphoresis are due to severe pain and a
massive sympathetic response.
5. According to the Parkland formula for burns, a
patient weighing 80 kg with partial-thickness burns
covering 45% of his body should receive how much
Lactated Ringer's solution in the first 24 hours?
A. 7,200 mL
B. 14,400 mL
Rationale: The Parkland formula is 4 mL × weight
in kg × BSA burned. Half is given in the first 8
hours. Total 24-hour volume = 4 × 80 × 45 = 14,400
