CCT Paramedic ACADIAN final exam Questions with
Accurate Answers 100% Guarantee Pass
1. In a patient presenting with a right axis deviation on an ECG, what would be
the most appropriate next step in management?
Discharge the patient with reassurance
Perform a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia
Further cardiac evaluation and monitoring
Immediate administration of antiarrhythmic medication
2. What is the effect of hyperventilation on carbon dioxide levels in the blood?
Decreases carbon dioxide levels
Has no effect on carbon dioxide levels
Causes carbon dioxide to fluctuate
Increases carbon dioxide levels
3. The specificity of a measurement or a screening test is:
The ability of a test to correctly identify those that don't have a
disease
The ability of a test to be done many times in a row
The ability of a test to correctly identify those that have a disease
The ability of a test to identify confounding
4. Describe how an elevation in BUN can indicate dehydration in a patient.
An elevation in BUN suggests increased protein intake in the diet.
, An elevation in BUN indicates that there is a higher concentration of
urea in the blood, often due to decreased fluid volume in the body.
An elevation in BUN indicates an increase in blood glucose levels.
An elevation in BUN is a sign of kidney failure unrelated to hydration
status.
5. What is the primary purpose of capnography monitoring in intubated
patients?
To evaluate blood glucose levels
To assess the adequacy of ventilation
To measure blood pressure
To monitor heart rate
6. What is the primary purpose of administering Fentanyl during Rapid
Sequence Intubation (RSI)?
To provide analgesia and reduce pain during the procedure.
To prevent aspiration during intubation.
To induce sedation and loss of consciousness.
To enhance muscle relaxation.
7. Why is it important to use a specific tidal volume range for pediatric patients?
Using the appropriate tidal volume helps prevent lung injury and
ensures adequate ventilation.
Tidal volume is not a critical factor in pediatric care.
Pediatric patients require higher volumes due to their smaller size.
Higher tidal volumes are always better for oxygenation.
,8. What class of medication do Potassium Channel Blockers belong to?
anti-coagulants
anti-hypertension
anti-dysrhythmic
anti-platets
9. Describe the typical characteristics of croup and how they relate to its viral
nature.
Croup is characterized by a barking cough and stridor, which are
symptoms of airway inflammation often caused by viral infections.
Croup presents with high fever and purulent sputum, indicating a
bacterial infection.
Croup is characterized by wheezing and chest tightness due to
parasitic infections.
Croup is a condition that primarily affects adults and is caused by
fungal infections.
10. What class of medications do sodium channel blockers belong to?
Analgesics
Antibiotics
Antiarrhythmics
Antihypertensives
11. In pediatric synchronized cardioversion, you should start at ___ and increase
to ___ respectively
1 J/Kg, 4 J/Kg
, 0.5 J/Kg, 2 J/Kg
0.5 J/Kg, 4 J/Kg
12. In a patient with meningococcal meningitis, what specific type of white
blood cell is typically elevated in the WBC differential?
Eosinophils
Lymphocytes
Basophils
Neutrophils
13. Describe the characteristics of the early and late phases of the asthma
response.
The early phase involves immediate bronchoconstriction, while the
late phase includes inflammation and prolonged airway
hyperreactivity.
The early phase is characterized by inflammation, and the late phase
involves bronchoconstriction.
Both phases are identical and involve only bronchoconstriction.
The early phase is a response to allergens, while the late phase is a
response to irritants.
14. What is the primary parameter to monitor in an asthma patient receiving
mechanical ventilation?
Respiratory rate
Peak airway pressure
Oxygen saturation
Tidal volume
