Scope of practice ✔Correct Answer-A set of rules, regulations and ethical considerations that
define the extent, boundaries and and limitations of a pre-hospital provider's duties
Medical oversight ✔Correct Answer-The process by which a physician monitors the quality of
care rendered to patients and provides assistance and guidance to pre-hospital providers and
emergency care systems
Standard precautions ✔Correct Answer-Practices used by healthcare workers to protect
themselves from exposure to bodily fluids based on the assumption that all patients are
potentially infectious
Hazardous materials ✔Correct Answer-Substances that have the potential to harm people,
animals, or the environment. The term "hazmat" is often used adjectively (ie "hazmat incident")
Pathogens ✔Correct Answer-Microorganisms that transmit infections diseases
30-2-Can-Do ✔Correct Answer-Mnemonic for remembering the assessment findings of the
START triage system. 30 respirations per minute, cap refill of 2 seconds, and ability to follow
simple commands (can do)
NIMS ✔Correct Answer-National Incident Management Service: Standardize framework for
responding to, and managing, emergencies or situations involving multiple jurisdictions. All
rescue organizations and personnel are federally mandated to use NIMS.
ICS ✔Correct Answer-A formal, organized method for managing an incident, regardless of its
cause, size, scope, or complexity
5 functional areas of ICS ✔Correct Answer-Incident Command, Operations, Planning,
Logistics, Finance/Administration
MCI ✔Correct Answer-Multiple-casualty incident
SALT triage system ✔Correct Answer-Sort
Assess
Lifesaving interventions
Treatment/transport
START triage system ✔Correct Answer-Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment
,ID-ME ✔Correct Answer-Four common triage categories:
Immediate( Red)
Delayed (Yellow)
Minimal (Green)
Expectant (Black/Gray)
Triage ✔Correct Answer-Process of prioritizing patients for treatment and transport based on
clinical signs and symptoms. It operates under the philosophy of "Do the most good for the
most people"
Good body mechanics for lifting ✔Correct Answer-- Distribute weight evenly down the entire
spinal column, through the pelvis, and to the bones of the legs
- Keep your back straight and lift with the legs
Power lift ✔Correct Answer-Aligns the spine straight and evenly distributes the weight to be
lifted
Power grip ✔Correct Answer-Palms up, approx. 10 inches apart. Maximizes the force of the
hands and enables you to firmly grip and hold on to an object
Urgent vs. non-urgent moves ✔Correct Answer-Urgent moves do not incorporate spinal
protection
Long-axis drags ✔Correct Answer-Four types of urgent moves:
- Shoulder drag
- Feet drag
- Blanket drag
- Underarm-wrist drag
Examples of non-urgent moves ✔Correct Answer-- Human crutch
- 2-person assist
- Chair carry
- Fore-and-aft carry
4 steps of proper patient packaging ✔Correct Answer-- Patient is properly positioned on
transport device
- Patient is made as comfortable as possible
- Patient is securely fastened
- All necessary medical equipment is transported with the patient
Body mechanics ✔Correct Answer-The relationship between the body's anatomical structures
and the physical forces associated with lifting, moving and carrying; the ways in which the body
moves to achieve a specific action.
, Direct ground lift ✔Correct Answer-A lifting technique that is used for patients who are found
lying supine on the ground with no suspected spinal injury. Uses 2-4 rescuers, on the same side
as the patient.
Moves to use when there is a suspected spinal injury ✔Correct Answer-- Draw-sheet / plastic
slider / Flat transfer lift
- Logroll
Human anatomy ✔Correct Answer-The study of the structure of the human body
Human physiology ✔Correct Answer-The study of the functions of the human body
Cardiovascular system ✔Correct Answer-The transport system of the body responsible for
carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other wastes;
composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
Respiratory system ✔Correct Answer-Organs and structures that bring air containing oxygen
into the body and eliminate carbon dioxide to the environment through the process of
breathing, or ventilation
Nervous system ✔Correct Answer-A group of organs and other structures that regulate all
body functions by collecting and processing information, using the brain and a complicated
wiring system to all organs
Integumentary system ✔Correct Answer-Skin. Specialized tissues that cover and protect the
body. Skin helps retain fluids, regulates temperature, transmits information from the
environment to the brain, and protects the body from the outside environment.
Abduction ✔Correct Answer-Motion of a limb away from the midline of the body
Adduction ✔Correct Answer-Motion of a limb toward the midline of the body
Artery ✔Correct Answer-Tubular vessel that carries blood AWAY FROM the heart TO the lungs
and body
Blood pressure ✔Correct Answer-Pressure or force inside the walls of the body's arteries
Capillaries ✔Correct Answer-Tiny blood vessels that connect arteries and veins. They provide
nutrients and oxygen to and remove waste from cells.
Central nervous system (CNS) ✔Correct Answer-Includes the brain and spinal cord
Extension ✔Correct Answer-Straightening of a joint
