What occurs when a patient is breathing very rapidly and
shallowly?
- air is forcefully drawn into the lungs due to the negative
pressure created by the rapid respirations
- the majority of tidal volume reaches the lungs and diffuses
across the alveolar-capillary membrane
,Page 2 of 810
- air moves primarily in the anatomic dead space and does not
participate in pulmonary gas exchange
- minute volume increases because of a marked increase in both
tidal volume and respiratory - ..ANSWER...✓✓ air moves
primarily in the anatomic dead space and does not participate in
pulmonary gas exchange
- you are actively infected with tuberculosis and should be
treated immediately.
- you contracted the disease by casual contact instead of
exposure to secretions. - ..ANSWER...✓✓ you were exposed to

another infected person prior to treating the 34-year-old
patient.
Assessment of a patient's blood pressure with an automatic BP
cuff reveals that it is 204/120 mm Hg. The patient is conscious
and alert and denies any symptoms. The EMT should:
- conclude that she has hypertension.
- obtain a manual blood pressure.
- reassess her blood pressure in 5 minutes.

- prepare for immediate transport. - ..ANSWER...✓✓ obtain a
manual blood pressure.
Your primary assessment of an elderly woman reveals that she is
conscious and alert, but is experiencing difficulty breathing. She
has a history of emphysema, hypertension, and congestive heart
failure. As you assess the patient's circulatory status, you should
direct your partner to:
- retrieve the stretcher and prepare for transport.
- perform a head-to-toe secondary assessment.
- assess her oxygen saturation and blood pressure.
