PARAMEDIC FISDAP EXAM SCRIPT FINAL
PAPER 2026 COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
◉ When an impaled object is in the neck... you should?
Answer: Not remove the object, but try to stabilize it and control the
bleeding from it. The ONLY exception for removing the object is if it
interferes with your ability to manage the airway. In some cases, an
emergency cric may be necessary.
◉ Frontal Lobe
Answer: (Forehead) Important for voluntary motor action and
personality traits. Injury to the frontal lobe may result in seizures or
placid reactions (flat affect).
◉ Parietal Lobe
Answer: Controls the somatic or voluntary sensory and motor
functions for the opposite side of the body, as well as memory and
emotions.
◉ Occipital Lobe
Answer: (Back of the head) Responsible for processing visual
information.
, ◉ Temporal Lobe
Answer: (Side of the head) Speech area, hearing, taste and smell.
◉ Treating a pt with Head Trauma
Answer: Lidocaine to reduce ICP, maintain O2 sats above 95%,
administer high flow O2 if pt is breathing on their own, avoid
hyperventilation, restrict your use of IV fluids (unless hypotensive,
then give fluid to keep systolic above 110 or 120), and do not give
dextrose.
◉ Diaphragm
Answer: Phrenic nerve (C3-C5). Injury occurring at or above C3-C4
may cause diaphragmatic paralysis, that is seen with abdominal
breathing and accessory muscle use.
◉ Levels of ICP
Answer: Mild- cheyne-stokes, increased BP, decreased HR, pupils stil
reactive, AMS, vomiting. Moderate- widening pulse pressure w/
bradycardia, pupils are non-reactive, hyperventilation, posturing.
Severe- blown pupil, biot's respirations, flaccid paralysis, irregular
pulse rate, fluctuating BP (usually hypotension).
◉ Cheyne- Stokes Respirations
