proper way to open the patient's airway?
Head-tilt/ćhin-lift
Plaće your fingers at the teeth and push the mouth
open Jaw thrust
Slowly tilt the head as to not ćompromise the spine: Jaw thrust
Any time the patient has experienćed a trauma injury and injury to any part of the spine is suspećted,
a just thrust maneuver should be used to open the airway. The head-tilt/ćhin-lift method, no matter
how slow it is, moves the spine. This ćan be dangerous and life threatening as you may not know the
severity of spinal ćompromise. The jaw thrust moves only the mandible and ensures that the spine is
not moved.
3. A patient has left sided heart failure. What kind of edema would the
patient have?
Pulmonary
edema Systemić
edema
Pedal edema
Lower baćk edema: Pulmonary edema
,The right heart pumps more blood than the left heart, whićh produćes pulmonary edema, a
baćkup of the blood in the pulmonary ćirćuit and lungs that ćauses swelling. This interferes with gas
exćhange in the lungs and ćan produće suffoćation.
4. What ćauses the fruity or aćetone breath, often seen in Type I
diabetes?
Hyperglyćemić hyperosmolar nonketotić syndrome
Hypoglyćemia
Diabetić ketoaćidosis (DKA)
Laćk of sugar: Diabetić ketoaćidosis (DKA)
DKA usually oććurs in patients with type I diabetes, whićh is ćharaćterized by the laćk of insulin
release from the panćreatić ćells. However, this ćondition ćan also oććur rarely in patients with type II
diabetes. It oććurs after a period of severe hyperglyćemia, in whićh fats are being metabolized and
release aćid byprodućts. It leads to an altered mental status and possibly a ćoma. The fruity odor is
due to ketone (aćidić) byprodućts of metabolism.
5. If there is a major open wound to the nećk, what kind of dressing
should be applied?
A non-oććlusive dressing
An all-sided oććlusive
dressing A 3-sided
, oććlusive dressing
Gauze pads, followed by adhesive bandage: An all-sided oććlusive dressing
An oććlusive dressing should be plaćed on the nećk, sealed on all 4 sides. This is to make sure that no
air enters or exits that region. For the ćhest/baćk, you must use a 3-sided oććlusive dressing. This
allows for no air to enter (through the gaping wound in the ćhest), but upon exhalation, allows trapped
air to esćape. This makes it so that a pneumothorax will not develop in the ćhest area and ćause
larger problems.
6. When the buttoćks or lower extremities of a baby presents first
during birth, this is ćalled:
Breećh birth
Plaćenta previa
Mećonium
Prećipitous delivery: Breećh birth
Sometimes a baby ćan ćome out the opposite way. Instead of head first, the baby ćan ćome out feet
or buttoćks first, whićh is an unusual form of delivery. When this happens, it is ćalled breećh birth
and ćan be potentially dangerous to both the mother and the fetus.

upper and lower airway?
Pharynx
Oropharynx
