JBLearning Module 4 Exam
___________ is a disorder in the body's ability to maintain the viscosity and smooth
flow of blood through the venous and arterial systems. - ANS-Thrombophilia
\____________ is what you can see of a person's response to the environment. -
ANS-Behavior
\A 13-year-old girl is found floating face down in a swimming pool. Witnesses tell you
that the girl had been practicing diving. After you and your partner safely enter the
water, you should: - ANS-Rotate the entire upper half of her body as a unit,
supporting her head and neck.
\A 19-year-old male complains of "not feeling right." His insulin and a syringe are on
a nearby table. The patient says he thinks he took his insulin and cannot remember
whether he ate. He is also unable to tell you the time or what day it is. The
glucometer reads "error" after several attempts to assess his blood glucose level.
You should: - ANS-contact medical control and administer oral glucose.
\A 21-year-old male was found unconscious in an alley. Your initial assessment
reveals that his respirations are slow and shallow, and his pulse is slow and weak.
Further assessment reveals that his pupils are bilaterally constricted. His
presentation is MOST consistent with an overdose of: - ANS-an opioid
\A 28-year-old female patient is found to be responsive to verbal stimuli only. Her
roommate states that she was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and has had
difficulty controlling her blood sugar level. She further tells you that the patient has
been urinating excessively and has progressively worsened over the last 24 to 36
hours. On the basis of this patient's clinical presentation, you should suspect that
she: - ANS-is significantly hyperglycemic.
\A 29-year-old female presents with confusion and disorientation. Her respirations
are rapid and shallow and her pulse is 120 beats/min and thready. She is markedly
diaphoretic and has an oxygen saturation of 89%. You should: - ANS-provide
ventilatory support.
\A 30 year old male who ingested an unknown substance begins to vomit. -
ANS-collect the vomitus and bring it to the hospital
\A 31-year-old male with a history of diabetes had a seizure that stopped prior to
EMS arrival. He is unresponsive and has rapid, shallow breathing. His pulse is rapid
and weak and his skin is cyanotic. The EMT should: - ANS-assist the patient's
ventilations with a bag-valve mask.
\A 38-year-old female was bitten by fire ants while at the park with her kids. Your
primary assessment reveals that she is semiconscious, has profoundly labored
breathing, and has a rapid, thready pulse. She has a red rash on her entire body and
her face is very swollen. You should: - ANS-assist her ventilations with 100%
oxygen.
\A 40-year-old male intentionally cut his wrist out of anger after losing his job. Law
enforcement has secured the scene prior to your arrival. As you enter the residence
, and visualize the patient, you can see that he has a towel around his wrist and a
moderate amount of blood has soaked through it. You should: - ANS-calmly identify
yourself to the patient.
\A 42-year-old male is found unresponsive on his couch by a neighbor. During your
assessment, you find no signs of trauma and the patient's blood glucose level is 75
mg/dL. His blood pressure is 168/98 mm Hg, his heart rate is 45 beats/min and
bounding, and his respirations are 8 breaths/min and irregular. The patient is wearing
a medical alert bracelet that states he has hemophilia. You should: - ANS-suspect
that he has intracranial bleeding, assist his ventilations, and transport rapidly to an
appropriate hospital.
\A 45-year old man with insulin-dependent diabetes is found unresponsive. Which of
the following questions is MOST important to ask his wife? - ANS-Did he take his
insulin today?
\A 48-year-old male is found unconscious in the garden by his wife. When you arrive
at the scene and assess the man, you find that he is unresponsive, has severely
labored breathing, and has hives over his entire trunk. You should: - ANS-maintain
his airway and assist his ventilations.
\A 50-year-old male was stung by a honeybee approximately 15 minutes ago. He
presents with respiratory distress, facial swelling, and hypotension. After placing him
on oxygen and administering his epinephrine via auto-injector, you note that his
breathing has improved. Additionally, his facial swelling is resolving and his blood
pressure is stable. Your next action should be to: - ANS-record the time and dose of
the injection, and transport promptly.
\A 60 year old female presents with a tearing sensation in her lower back. Her skin is
sweaty, and she is tachycardic. The EMT should suspect: - ANS-aortic aneurysm
\A 66-year-old male presents with bizarre behavior. His daughter states that he did
not seem to recognize her and was very rude to her. The patient is conscious, and
has a patent airway and adequate breathing. You should: - ANS-ask the daughter
how her father normally behaves.
\A 73-year-old man presents with a generalized rash, which he thinks may have
been caused by an antibiotic that he recently began taking. He has a history of
coronary artery disease, hypertension, and emphysema. He is conscious and alert,
his blood pressure is 144/94 mm Hg, and his pulse is 64 beats/min and regular. You
auscultate his breath sounds and hear scattered wheezing, although he is not
experiencing respiratory distress. In addition to administering oxygen, you should -
ANS-contact medical control if needed, transport the patient, and monitor him for
signs of deterioration.
\A dysbarism injury refers to the signs and symptoms related to changes in: -
ANS-barometric pressure.
\A frostbitten foot can be identified by the presence of: - ANS-mottling and blisters.
\A hypnotic drug is one that: - ANS-induces sleep
\A lightning injury characterized by dysrhythmias that spontaneously resolve and
superficial burns would be classified as being: - ANS-Moderate
