EMT MODULE 5 EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025/2026
Glascow Coma Scale - CORRECT ANSWER -
What is the difference between compensated and decompensated shock? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Blood Pressure
What are the different types of shock? - CORRECT ANSWER -Obstructive Shock:
-conditions cause mechanical obstruction of the cardiac muscle also impact pump function
-i.e. cardiac tamponade and tension pneumothorax
Cardiogenic Shock
-inadequate function of heart (pump failure)
Hypovolemic Shock:
-inadequate amount of fluid or volume in the system
-can be hemorrhagic or non-hemorrhagic
-vomiting and diarrhea = non-hemorrhagic
Psychogenic Shock:
-sudden reaction of the nervous system that produces generalized vascular dilation which
results in fainting.
Anaphylactic Shock:
-person reacts violently to a substance to which they have become sensitized.
, Neurogenic Shock:
-Damage to spinal cord (usually upper) can cause significant injury to the part of the nervous
system that controls the size and muscular tone of blood vessels.
-Vessels will dilate widely, causing blood to pool and thus causing shock
How long should you spend on a patient that's showing signs of shock? - CORRECT ANSWER -10
mins- The Platinum 10
What is the best treatment during cardiac arrest? - CORRECT ANSWER -CPR then AED as soon as
possible
Compression: Ventilation Ratios (Adult) - CORRECT ANSWER -1 rescuer:
30:2
2 rescuers:
30:2
Compression:Ventilation Ratios (Child) - CORRECT ANSWER -1 rescuer:
30:2
2 rescuers:
15:2
Compression:Ventilation Ratios (Infant) - CORRECT ANSWER -1 rescuer:
30:2
