EMT Chapter 13 Quiz Terms in this set (20) A 60-year-old man is found to be unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic. You should: begin CPR until an AED is available. A patient should be placed in the recovery position when he or she: is unresponsive, uninjured, and breathing adequately. A young male is unresponsive after overdosing on an opioid. He is not breathing and his pulse is weak. The EMT should immediately: ventilate with a BVM. After an advanced airway device has been inserted during two-rescuer CPR, you should: deliver one rescue breath every 6 seconds. After establishing that an adult patient is unresponsive, you should: assess for breathing and a pulse. Basic life support (BLS) is defined as: noninvasive emergency care that is used to treat conditions such as airway obstruction, respiratory arrest, and cardiac arrest. CPR should be initiated when: A valid living will is unavailable CPR will NOT be effective if the patient is: prone Gastric distention will MOST likely occur: if you ventilate a patient too fast. In most cases, cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children is caused by: respiratory arrest. In two-rescuer adult CPR, you should deliver a compression to ventilation ratio of: 30:2. Most prehospital cardiac arrests occur as the result of: a cardiac dysrhythmia. EMT Chapter 13 Quiz The main benefit of using a mechanical device for chest compressions is: the elimination of rescuer fatigue that results from manual compressions. To ensure that you will deliver the appropriate number of chest compressions during one-rescuer adult CPR, you should compress the patient's chest at a rate of: 100 to 120 compressions per minute. What is the correct ratio of compressions to ventilations when performing two-rescuer child CPR? 15:2 When ventilating an apneic adult with a bag- valve mask, you should deliver each breath: while watching for adequate chest rise. Which of the following is NOT a BLS intervention? Cardiac monitoring Which of the following is considered an obvious sign of death and would not require the initiation of CPR? Dependent blood pooling Your partner is performing one-rescuer CPR on a middle-aged woman in cardiac arrest. When you apply the AED pads, you note that she has a medication patch over the same area where one of the AED pads will be placed. You should: remove the medication patch, wipe away any medication residue, and apply the AED pads. When performing chest compressions on an adult, the EMT should compress: at least 2 inches
