SOE FINAL EXAM 7 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS (LATEST)
How to apply a tourniquet - ANSWERS-High and tight
When and how to use hemostatic gauze - ANSWERS-Ability to
control blood flow in areas where a TQ can not be placed. Shoved the
dressing into the wound till there is less blood flow.
Pathophysiology of acute radiation syndrome - ANSWERS-High
doses of radiation in a short time, submucosal edema. However, there
may also be active colitis with crypt abscesses, increased neutrophilic
inflammation in the lamina propria, and ulceration associated with
epithelial cell necrosis.
Affects of the Parasympathetic Nervous System - ANSWERS-rest and
digest; conserves energy, heart rate and breathing at normal levels,
gastrointestinal tract with normal motility and normal digestive
enzyme production; pupils are constricted
Hyphema - ANSWERS-blood in the anterior chamber of the eye
Decerebrate posturing vs decorticate - ANSWERS-Decerebrate- Arms
and Legs positioned straight out and head flexed backwards
Decorticate- Internal rotation of the arms with extension of the legs
,signs and symptoms of increased Intercranial pressure - ANSWERS-
Severe headache.
Blurred vision.
Feeling less alert than usual.
Vomiting.
Changes in your behavior.
Weakness or problems with moving or talking.
Lack of energy or sleepiness.
Seizure.
Vitals will show increased BP/ low pulse/ irregular respirations
Pathophysiology of closed and open pneumothorax - ANSWERS-
Open- occurs when air accumulates between the chest wall and the
lung as the result of an open chest wound or other physical defect
Closed- air enters the pleural space from outside the chest or from the
lung itself via mediastinal tissue planes or direct pleural perforation.
Intrapleural pressure increases, and lung volume decreases.
Physical signs and symptoms of increased central venous pressure -
ANSWERS-Venous engorgement, palpable edema, swelling,
hyperpigmentation, and mild erythema. Patients might report
swelling, painful superficial veins, heaviness in extremities or skin
color changes.
, Pathophysiology of rib fractures - ANSWERS-Enough force applied
to the area can cause the rib to fracture and break which can cause
many internal complications.
Treat Abdominal Evisceration - ANSWERS-Cover with moistened
sterile dressings and monitor blood loss. Treat for shock.
Acute pulmonary embolism - ANSWERS-RVH, RBBB
- Blood not getting through dt clot
Arrhythmias
S1Q3: large S in lead I, deep Q wave ONLY in lead III (if deep Q in
several, then infarct)
- sinus tach & a fib MC arrhythmias
Splinting extremities - ANSWERS-Visualize area, assess PMS, splint
in position of relief or as closely to normal as possible, assess PMS
again.
At risk population in heat related injuries - ANSWERS-Older adults
are at higher risk for heat-related illnesses and death. Factors that put
older adults at greater risk may include: Health problems such as
cardiovascular, lung, or kidney disease. Changes in skin caused by
normal aging.
CPR adult and infant bagging rates and 1vs2 rescuers and advanced
airways - ANSWERS-ADULT- 30:1 (2 rescuer) 15:1 (1 rescuer)
ADVANCED AIRWAY: One breathe every 6 seconds
