Questions and Answers
1. 3 forms of heat related illness - ANS-heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps
a child is choking on a piece of hard candy. she is conscious and coughing forcefully.
what should you do?
a. do a foreign object check/removal
b. lay her down and give abdominal thrust
c. slap her on the back until she stops coughing
d. stay with her and encourage her to continue coughing - ANS-d. stay with her and
encourage her to continue coughing
2. about how many cycles of CPR should you perform in 2 minutes?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 5
d. 7 - ANS-c. 5
3. about how many seconds should you check for breathing?
a. no more than 5
b. no more than 10
c. no more than 15
d. no more than 20 - ANS-b. no more than 10
4. all of the following are indications that an emergency has occurred EXCEPT
a. breaking glass or screeching tires
b. children playing and laughing
c. screaming or moaning
d. strong odors - ANS-b. children playing and laughing
5. anaphylaxis - ANS-severe allergic reaction
signs: trouble breathing and go into shock, excessive thirst, pale moist skin, rapid
weak heartbeat
look for: skin reaction, face swelling, trouble breathing, signs of shock, nausea,
vomiting, cramping, diarrhea
6. asthma - ANS-triggers cause airways to close and become narrower
symptoms: wheezing coughing, unable to talk, rapid breathing, sweatings
encourage them to use their prescribed inhaler
call 911 if no improvement 5-15 min after medication
7. by following standard precautions to protect yourself and the injured or ill person, you
can
a. increase the risk of disease transmission
b. minimize the risk of disease transmission
c. reduce the number of times you need to wear gloves
d. none of the above - ANS-b. minimize the risk of disease transmission
, 8. cardiac chain of survival - ANS-1. recognize emergency
2. early CPR
3. early defibrillation
4. early advanced life support
5. integrate post cardiac arrest care
9. causes of cardiac arrest in children include
a. airway and breathing problems
b. SIDS
c. traumatic injuries or accidents
d. all of the above - ANS-d. all of the above
10.concussion - ANS-bruised brain
11.headache, balance issues, nausea/vomiting, blurred vision, mood changes
diabetic emergencies, how much sugar should you give them - ANS-15-20 g
12.early CPR and early defibrillation can
a. eliminate the need for advanced medical care
b. help to recognize when a person is not breathing
c. result in more effective CPR
d. save the lives of more people in cardiac arrest - ANS-d. save the lives of more
people in cardiac arrest
13.early CPR is important in the cardiac chain of survival because
a. it prevents heart attacks
b. it helps circulate blood that contains oxygen to the vital organs until an AED is ready
to use or advanced medical personnel take over
c. it helps restart the heart
d. it prevents the heart from seizing up - ANS-b. it helps circulate blood that contains
oxygen to the vital organs until an AED is ready to use or advanced medical
personnel take over
14.effective chest compressions
a. allow the chest to return to its normal position
b. are delivered fast, about 100 compressions per minute
c. are smooth, regular and given straight up and down
d. all of the above - ANS-d. all of the above
15.FAST - ANS-face-arms-speech-time
16.for which injury or illness should you call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number?
a. the person has a cough and runny nose
b. the person has a stomach ache that goes away
c. the person has an earache
d. the person has trouble breathing - ANS-d. the person has trouble breathing
17.heat cramps - ANS-leg muscle and abdomen, move to cool place and drink
electrolytes with carbohydrates, lightly stretch
18.heat exhaustion - ANS-cool moist skin, headache, nausea, weakness
move too cool environment, remove clothing, cool body
19.heat stroke - ANS-confusion, loss of consciousness, hot skin, rapid and shallow
breaths
