West coast emt block 2 quiz
- Radial - Responsive patient older than 1 year
Difficulty breathing - A patient sitting in chair leaning forward outstretched arms
Avoid compressing both carotid arteries simultaneously - When palpating the carotid pulse of a
responsive patient
Assess a brachial pulse for 5-10 seconds - You receive a call to a day care center for an unresponsive 8
month old
Immediately begin CPR - If you can't palpate a pulse
Adequate amounts of surfactant - Gas exchange in lungs is facilitated by
Incompletely convert glucose into energy and lactic acid accumulates in the blood - Without adequate
oxygen the body cells
Carbon dioxide - Primary waste product of aerobic metabolism is
Slight increase in carbon dioxide or a decrease in the PH in the cerebrospinal fluid - Central
chemoreceptor's located in the medulla provide feedback to increase rate and depth
of breathing when they serve
A decrease in respiratory rate and depth causes carbon dioxide accumulation in the
alveoli - Intrapulmonary shunting occurs when
Requires CPR - An unconscious patient found in a prone position must be placed in a supine position in
, case he or she
Corner of mouth to earlobe - Proper size oropharyngeal airway
inserted with bevel facing the septum if inserted into right nose - Nasopharyngeal airway
Hypoxia due to prolonged suction attempts - Most significant complication associated with
oropharyngeal suctioning
Suctioning while withdrawing catheter - Proper technique for suctioning oropharynx of an adult is
Alternate 15 seconds of oral suctioning with 2 min assisted ventilation - 23 year old motorcycle accident
survives longest without oxygen - Muscle
Toxic chemical inhalation - Acute pulmonary edema most likely develops as a result of
Anaphylaxis is characterized by airway swelling and hypotension - Which of the following statement
regarding anaphylaxis is correct
Narcotic overdose - Hyperventilation could be associated with all of the following except
Blood acidity is reducedAcute - Alkalosis
Anxiety, dizziness , severe bradypnea - Acute hyperventilation syndrome
Insert nasopharyngeal airway and begin ventilation - Overdose:
Provide reassurance and give oxygen - A 22 year old complaining of dyspnea and numbness
