DAANCE ALL MODULES QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS COMPLETE 100% CORRECT
1. Pulmonary artery: One of two arteries that carry venous (oxygen poor) blood from heart to lungs
2. What type of intubation is preferred with emesis with aspiration?: ETT. LMA or
combitube acceptable.
3. What emergency would a cricothyrotomy typically be performed?: Airway obstruction
4. Atropine would be given in which emergency?: Symptomatic bradycardia
5. Adenosine would be given in which emergency?: SVT
6. Amiodarone would be given in which emergency?: V. Tach
7. What medications can be given for a sever case of hyperventilation?: -
Versed, Valium, or Propofol
8. PVC's are treated with which medicine?: Lidocaine
9. Epi is given in which two emergencies?: V. Fib and asystole
10. Max dose of epi for cardiovascular disease pt: .04mg
11. A beta blocker would be given in which emergency?: Hypertension
12. A fluid bolus of NS and ephedrine can be given with what emergency?: -
Hypotension
,13. What medications are used to treat malignant hypothermia?: Dantrolene, IV cold saline (not
Ringer's)
14. Nasopharyngeal airway: When tongue is obstructing airway. Tube is lubricat- ed and passed
through the nose into nasal cavity. Sits in oropharynx behind tongue. Well tolerated and can be used on
awake pts.
15. Oropharyngeal airway: Also placed to position tongue in more anterior posi- tion. Often
interfere with intra oral procedures. Not tolerated well with awake pts.
16. Laryngeal mask airway (LMA): Device that sits over top of larynx. Can be placed blindly. Does
not protect against aspiration. Inflated with 30cc to create seal.
17. Endotracheal intubation: End of tube passes through vocal cords and termi- nates half way
between vocal cords and bifurcation of trachea. Important to listen to both lungs after placement. May
or May not be cuffed.
18. Combitube: Generally used for specific emergencies. Both cuffs inflated.
19. Pts predisposed to bronchospasm: Allergies, asthma, copd, bronchitis
20. Bronchospasm: Generalized contraction of smooth muscles of small bronchi and bronchioles in
lungs causing restriction of air flow of air to and from lungs.
,21. Maximum dose of epi for healthy pt: .2mg
22. Liver: Protein and lipid synthesis, bio transformation, detoxification and stor- age of vitamin A,
E, D, K, and B12.
23. Causes of seizures: Liver failure, renal failure, sickle cell disease, brain tumor, meningitis, previou
stroke and hypo-hyperglycemia.
24. Medications to treat seizures: Tegretol, Klonopin, Neurontin, luminal, Dilan- tin, depacon
25. Main function of kidneys: Maintain volume and composition of body fluids. Body's main
source of filtration and excrete metabolic end products and toxins.
26. Islets of langerhans: Located in pancreas. Secrete insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps the
body store sugar to keep glucose levels in a steady state.
27. Adrenal glands: Secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine. Controls elec- trolyte balance and
carb metabolism.
28. Thyroid: Regulates body's basal metabolic rate.
29. Pterygoid plexus: Network of veins corresponding to 2nd and 3rd parts of maxillary artery
30. Olfactory nerve: 1st cranial nerve that controls smell
31. Optic nerve: 2nd cranial nerve that controls sight
32. Internal jugular vein: Drains much of blood from head and neck
33. Purkinje fiber system: Causes muscles of heart to contract. Spreads impulse rapidly along heart
muscle.
, 34. Brachiocephalic artery: Branches into right common carotid in neck and right subclavian artery
in arm.
35. Hematocrit: % blood volume made up of red blood cells. Men: 42-52% women: 37-48%. Anythin
below 35% considered anemic.
36. Mental artery: Supplies blood to chin.
37. Ischemia: Reduced blood flow in coronary arteries. Lack of oxygen to heart cells weakens, but
does not kill them.
38. Maxillary artery: Supplies blood to maxilla, teeth, sinuses, and portion of nose.
39. Medulla oblongata: Coordinating region for impulses. The seat of many auto- nomic centers.
