Which is a contraindication to the administration of aspirin for the management of a patient with ACS? - Recent GI bleed Lesson 8: Acute Coronary Syndromes Part 3.What is the initial drug therapy for ACS? - Oxygen (if needed), aspirin, nitroglycerin, morphine (if needed) Lesson 8: Acute Coronary Syndromes Part 3.A patient without dyspnea has signs of ACS. There are no obvious signs of heart failure. You assess a noninvasively monitored oxyhemoglobin saturation. Which patient should receive supplemental oxygen? - 88% Lesson 8: Acute Coronary Syndromes Part 3.Which clinical finding represents a contraindication to the administration of nitroglycerin? - Systolic blood pressure of 84 Lesson 9: Stroke Part 1. What is one major sign of a patient having a stroke? - facial droop Lesson 9: Stroke Part 1. What are the major types of stroke? - Ischemic and hemorrhagic Lesson 9: Stroke Part 1. What is the most common type of stroke? - Ischemic stroke Lesson 9: Stroke Part 2.What stroke screen was used in the stroke video? - CPSS Lesson 9: Stroke Part 2.Which is a sign or symptom of stroke? - Trouble speaking Lesson 9: Stroke Part 2.Why is it important for EMS personnel to alert the receiving facility stroke team as soon as possible? - Reduce the time interval to definitive care Lesson 9: Stroke Part 3. What is the highest priority once the patient has reached the emergency department/hospital? - CT Scan Lesson 9: Stroke Part 3.What is the time goal for neurologic assessment by the stroke team or designee and non-contrast CT or MRI performed after hospital arrival? - 20 mins Lesson 9: Stroke Part 3. What is the primary time window for the administration of fibrinolytic therapy, timed from the onset of systems? - Within 3 hrs Lesson 10: Bradycardia. pg66. In which situation does bradycardia require treatment? - Hypotension • Acutely altered mental status • Signs of shock • Ischemic chest discomfort • Acute heart failure Lesson 11: Tachycardia. A patient in stable narrow-complex tachycardia with a peripheral IV in place is refractory to the first dose of adenosine. Which dose would you administer next? - 12mg Lesson 11: Tachycardia.A 57-year-old woman has palpitations, chest discomfort, and tachycardia.
