SHEET FULL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
⩥ A 66-year-old woman is found to be unresponsive and apneic. Her
carotid pulse is weak and rapid. When ventilating this patient, you
should deliver: Answer: each breath over 1 second at a rate of 10 to 12
breaths/min.
⩥ After inserting an oropharyngeal airway in an unresponsive woman,
the patient begins to gag. You should: Answer: turn the patient on her
side in case she vomits.
⩥ Hypercapnea is defined as: Answer: elevated levels of carbon dioxide.
⩥ Respiration refers to Answer: the exchange of gases in the body
⩥ Several attempts to adequately open a trauma patient's airway with the
jaw-thrust maneuver have been unsuccessful. You should: Answer:
carefully perform the head tilt-chin lift maneuver.
⩥ Your initial attempt to ventilate an unresponsive apneic 30-year-old
man is met with resistance and you do not see the chest rise. Your
,second ventilation attempt is also unsuccessful. You should: Answer:
perform 30 chest compressions.
⩥ A 26 year old male underwent a recent surgery. He has fever, altered
mental status, and decreased urine output. What should you suspect?
Answer: Septic Shock
⩥ Which of the following patients is in decompensated shock? Answer:
a 20-year-old female with absent radial pulses and dilated pupils
⩥ Which of the following conditions would MOST likely cause
obstructive shock? Answer: cardiac tamponade
⩥ Distributive shock occurs when: Answer: widespread dilation of the
blood vessels causes blood to pool in the vascular beds.
⩥ Which of the following is most likely to be present with an adult
patient in compensated shock? Answer: Narrow pulse pressure
⩥ According to the National EMS Scope of Practice Model, an EMT

⩥ A 51-year-old female presents with a sudden onset of difficulty
breathing. She is conscious and alert and able to speak in complete
sentences. Her skin is warm and dry, her respirations are 22 breaths/min
and regular, and her SpO2 reading is 92 percent. You should: Answer:
administer oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 LPM
⩥ How does CPAP improve oxygenation and ventilation in patients with
certain respiratory problems? Answer: CPAP keeps alveoli open during
exhalation and pushes oxygen across the alveolar membrane.
⩥ ou and your partner are treating a 66-year-old man who experienced a
sudden onset of respiratory distress. He appears drowsy and does not
follow verbal commands. His breathing appears labored and his oxygen
saturation is 80%. You should: Answer: assist his ventilations with a
bag-mask device.
⩥ You respond to a call for a female pedestrian who has been struck by a
