EMD 350 Final
"The EMS Agenda For The Future" included 14 focus areas. Which of the following
were part of the EMS Agenda For The Future: - ANS-Human Resources, Medical
Direction & Clinical Care.
Which of the following is an example of a medical innovation developed during WWI. -
ANS-Rapid extraction
What did the Emergency Medical Services Act of 1973 provide? - ANS-Funding for
EMS system development
EMT-Basics need +750-1,500 hours of training and can perform intravenous IV access,
advanced airway and administer medications. - ANS-F
What were the two key factors that contributed to increased survival following injury
between WWI and WWII? - ANS-Quicker evacuation of injured individuals from the
battlefield and application of medical science to their care.
Following the Vietnam war many soldiers returned to the U.S. and noted "survival
following injury on the battlefield was more likely than when injured in most major cities."
This observation was highlighted in the landmark paper titled: - ANS-Accidental Death &
Disability, the neglected disease of modern society.
Cardiac arrest occurs when: - ANS-there is sudden loss of heart function when the
heart's electrical system malfunctions
Signs of Cardiac arrest include: - ANS-all of the above
Research shows that the following intervention saves lives: - ANS-early chest
compression
EMS Agenda for the Future provides a vision for out-of-hospital EMS, including
education issues. - ANS-T
When EMS professionals are providing CPR the ideal crew configuration is: - ANS-4
person
, Chain of survival includes: - ANS-all of the above
Reversing cardiac arrest due to an abnormal hearth rhythm called ventricular fibrillation
is more likely to occur if you're in and airport, a casino and hospital because: -
ANS-AEDs are immediately available
Resuscitation attempts should NOT be withheld in the case of - ANS-lightning strike
When considering pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, - ANS-a longer downtime is
acceptable for initiation of resuscitation
Which of the following is NOT used to guide decisions for termination of resuscitation: -
ANS-medical history
Which of the following may be favorable regarding the survival of a patient in cardiac
arrest? - ANS-hypothermia
Chest compressions should be: - ANS-administer at a rate of 110 cpm or in cycles of
200
Which of the following interventions does not match its appropriate disease process? -
ANS-Hemorrhage - epinephrine
EMT tasks during the pit crew model for CPR (pCPR) include all of the following
EXCEPT: - ANS-placement of IO line
Paramedic-only tasks during the pit crew model for CPR (pCPR) include all of the
following EXCEPT: - ANS-Use of an AED to shock the patient.
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding epinephrine in pCPR? - ANS-It
should be given twice, once early and once at 8 minutes.
Retrospective Medical Oversight includes the use of quality assurance (QA) and Quality
Improvement (QI) to answer the following questions: "Is the system providing quality
medical care." or "what can be done to improve quality of care"? Which of the following
is an example of how quality assurance (QA) is performed? - ANS-all of the above
The authority to provide medical care is tightly regulated in the United States by: -
ANS-Individual States which define "scope of practice"
