- ✔✔False: a pocket mask is placed on the patient's face

, ✔✔T or F: it is important to have emergency oxygen available because prompt oxygen
first aid can make a difference in the case of decompression sickness, lung
overexpansion injury or drowning - ✔✔true
✔✔the three primary types of emergency oxygen systems include - ✔✔nonresuscitator
demand valve systems, continuous flow systems,a nd positive pressure resuscitator
systems
✔✔________ work much like scuba regulator, supplying 100 percent oxygen when the
diver inhales - ✔✔nonresuscitator demand valve systems
✔✔the emergency oxygen system suitable for use by PADI rescue divers include -
✔✔nonresuscitator demand valve systems, and continuous flow systems
✔✔T or F: for general purposes in areas with ready access to emergency medical
services an emergency oxygen supply of 40 to 50 minutes is normal - ✔✔True

emergency medical services, the diver emergency service for the area, any diver
information you may need to get an injured diver to help
