NATIONAL REGISTRY OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL
TECHNICIAN ACTUAL EXAM (NREMT)
You are treating a patient that has been involved
in a motor vehicle accident. You can lift a flap of
skin on the patient's head. This type of injury
would e referred to as a(n):
A. avulsion
B. laceration
C. evisceration
D. puncture - answer-A
(A puncture is created by an object that is
typically sharp and pointed. A laceration is
defined as a jagged cut. An evisceration is
typically referred to as organs protruding.)
You arrive to find a 48 year old male complaining
that his chest feels heavy. The patient is awake
and talking to you. During your assessment, you
,note that his skin is pale, cool, and clammy. Your
first step is to:
A. apply your AED
B. administer supplemental oxygen
C. obtain a past medical history
D. assist the patient in taking his neighbor's
nitroglycerin - answer-B
(Your first step is to administer supplemental
oxygen. When treating chest pain, it is important
to get oxygen to the patient as soon as possible to
help alleviate damage to the heart muscle.)
Which of the following is the correct flow of blood
through the heart and lungs?
A. inferior/superior vena cavae, lungs, right
atrium, right ventricle, left venntricle, aorta
B. inferior/superior vena cavae, left atrium, left
ventricle, lungs, right atrium, left ventricle, aorta
C. inferior/superior vena cavae, lings, aorta, left
atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, left ventricle
,D. inferior/superior vena cavae, right atrium,
right ventricle, lungs, left ventricle, aorta -
answer-D
The mitral or bicuspid valve,
A. prevents blood from back flowing into the left
atrium
B. prevents blood from back flowing into the right
atrium
C. prevents the blood from back flowing into the
lungs
D. is located between the left atrium and the right
ventricle - answer-A
(The mitral or bicuspid valve is located between
the left atrium and the left atrium and the left
ventricle. It prevents the blood from back flowing
into the left atrium.)
Which of the following is NOT true of the
treatment of an impaled object?
, A. remove if blocking the airway
B. stabilize in place
C. remove to accommodate transport of the
patient
D. control the bleeding - answer-C
(The treatment of a patient with an impaled
object includes: securing the object in place,
exposing the wound area, controlling bleeding,
and using a bulky dressing to help stabilize the
object. The only time it is permissible to remove
an impaled object is if it is impeding the
breathing of a patient.)
The electrical impulse generated in the right
atrium is called the:
A. atrioventricular node
B. purkinje fibers
C. sinoatriual node
D. bundle of his - answer-C
