Question 1
You are first on scene for a 55-year-old male complaining of chest pressure
radiating to the left arm. He is diaphoretic and pale. His airway is patent, breathing
22/min, SpO₂ 94% on room air. What is your priority action?
A. Administer high-flow oxygen via non-rebreather mask
B. Obtain a 12-lead ECG
C. Administer 324 mg aspirin chewed
D. Transport immediately with lights and siren
Correct ,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: Suspected acute coronary syndrome → aspirin (C) reduces mortality.
Oxygen (A) only if SpO₂ <90% or signs of shock. ECG (B) after aspirin. Transport
(D) not before initial interventions.
Question 2
,A 32-year-old female is unconscious after a motor vehicle crash. She has snoring
respirations. What is your first action?
A. Insert an oropharyngeal airway
B. Perform a jaw-thrust maneuver
C. Administer oxygen via non-rebreather
D. Apply a cervical collar
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: Snoring respirations indicate airway obstruction from tongue. Jaw
thrust (B) opens airway while protecting spine. OPA (A) only after airway opened
and no gag reflex. O₂ (C) and collar (D) are secondary.
Question 3
A patient with a history of diabetes is found unresponsive. His blood glucose is 45
mg/dL. He has a patent airway and is breathing adequately. What is the most
appropriate intervention?
A. Administer oral glucose gel in the cheek
B. Start an IV and give D50
C. Administer glucagon IM
D. Place in recovery position and transport
Correct ,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: Unconscious hypoglycemic patient without IV access → glucagon IM
(C) if no IV. Oral glucose (A) unsafe in unresponsive patient. D50 (B) requires IV.
Recovery position (D) alone is insufficient.
,Question 4
A 7-year-old child is in respiratory distress with stridor, drooling, and a fever of
104°F. He is sitting upright and leaning forward. What is your priority?
A. Examine the throat with a tongue depressor
B. Lay the child supine and open the airway
C. Keep the child calm and provide blow-by oxygen
D. Prepare for immediate intubation
Correct ,,answer,,,: C
Rationale: Suspected epiglottitis → keep child calm, blow-by O₂ (C), do not
agitate. Throat exam (A) can cause spasm/arrest. Supine (B) worsens. Intubation
(D) may be needed but not first.
Question 5
You are ventilating an apneic adult with a bag-valve mask. You see adequate chest
rise with each ventilation. What rate should you target?
A. 6–8 breaths per minute
B. 10–12 breaths per minute
C. 16–20 breaths per minute
D. 24–30 breaths per minute
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: Adult apneic ventilation rate is 10–12/min (B) (1 breath every 5–6
seconds). 6–8/min (A) too low. 16–20/min (C) too high (risk of hyperventilation).
, Question 6
A 45-year-old male has a deep laceration to his thigh with bright red blood
spurting from the wound. What is your immediate action?
A. Apply a tourniquet
B. Apply direct pressure with a gauze
C. Elevate the leg
D. Apply a pressure dressing
Correct ,,answer,,,: A
Rationale: Spurting bright red blood = arterial hemorrhage → tourniquet (A) first.
Direct pressure (B) if tourniquet not available but may fail. Elevation (C) and
pressure dressing (D) are not sufficient.
Question 7
A patient with a known allergy to bees was stung 5 minutes ago. He now has hives,
facial swelling, and difficulty breathing. His BP is 90/60. What is the priority
medication?
A. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) PO
B. Epinephrine 0.3 mg IM
C. Albuterol nebulizer
D. Methylprednisolone IV
Correct ,,answer,,,: B
Rationale: Anaphylaxis with respiratory distress and hypotension → epinephrine
IM (B) first. Benadryl (A) and steroids (D) are second-line. Albuterol (C) for
bronchospasm alone.
