Section 1: Preparatory and EMS Operations
(Questions 1–15)
Question 1: An EMT arrives on the scene of a motor
vehicle collision. The scene is safe, and there are
multiple patients. Which of the following actions
should the EMT take FIRST?
A. Begin triage of patients
B. Don appropriate PPE
C. Immediately begin patient assessment
D. Request additional resources
CORRECT ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Scene safety includes personal
protective equipment (PPE) for the EMT. Donning
appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, high-
visibility vest) is the first action to protect the
provider before patient contact. Standard
precautions apply to all patients. Triage comes after
PPE and scene size-up; patient assessment occurs
, Page 3 of 81
after PPE; additional resources may be needed but
not before self-protection.
Question 2: The primary purpose of the EMS system
is to:
A. Provide advanced life support to all patients
B. Deliver rapid response, appropriate care, and
transport to definitive care
C. Replace hospital emergency departments
D. Generate revenue for the community
CORRECT ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The EMS system is designed to provide
rapid response, appropriate prehospital care, and
timely transport to definitive care facilities. EMTs
provide basic life support; ALS is an extension. EMS
does not replace EDs or exist for revenue generation.
Question 3: An EMT is exposed to potentially
infectious blood during patient care. Which
, Page 4 of 81
document outlines the employer's responsibilities
for post-exposure evaluation?
A. The EMS protocol manual
B. The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR
1910.1030)
C. The HIPAA Privacy Rule
D. The EMT Scope of Practice
CORRECT ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens
Standard requires employers to provide post-
exposure evaluation and follow-up at no cost to the
employee. This includes risk assessment, testing,
and prophylaxis if indicated. HIPAA addresses
privacy; Scope of Practice defines procedures.
Question 4: Which of the following is an example of
a qualitative vital sign?
A. Blood pressure
B. Heart rate
C. Level of consciousness
D. Respiratory rate
