VMO STUDY TEST WITH SOLUTIONS

All vehicle crash scene hazards fall into one of three categories that offer risk to the rescuer and patient - Environmental, Incident-Scene and Vehicle Hazards Two procedures that make airbag systems less likely to deploy during rescue operations are: - Shut off ignition switch and disconnect electrical power to the vehicle as soon as possible When confronted with a fuel leak or spill - Rescuer should identify the source position multipurpose, dry - chemical fire extinguisher as a quick way to establish a basic level of stand by fire suppression Weather, time of day and location, is all that command needs to consider on initial size-up while responding to the accident scene: - True According to OSHA, on the older model air chisels, the coiled spring "beehive" style retainer system: - does not meet current safety requirements. A reciprocating saw with an adjustable shoe that telescopes in and out is the most efficient model for vehicle rescue applications because: - it allows the rescuer to use each saw blade more efficiently. For maximum efficiency with a curved blade cutter, rescuers should position the blades of the tool: - completely around the object being cut. When it is most effective, the process by which rescuers gain initial access to the patient takes no more: - than 60 seconds Incidents involving machinery extrication may include: - metal cutting and forming equipment, farm machinery and construction equipment, lifting, moving, transfer equipment. Hydraulic machinery systems can be driven by: - Electric motors, Gasoline engines, diesel engines Machinery stabilization can be accomplished by: - cribbing, shutting off fuel/gas, Electric shut off (lockout- tag-out) Most electrocutions and electrical injuries in an agricultural-rural setting are due to direct contact or proximity arcing from overhead power lines. - True During the termination stage: - rescue personnel, service the vehicles, and place tools and equipment back on the vehicle Vehicle extrication/rescue operations may expose rescuers to the following hazards: - Air Bag systems and Energy-absorbing bumper systems A common bond in the death of responders working in or near moving traffic is: - traffic was not effectively controlled This of the following is an acceptable technique to limit bystanders from viewing the scene: - emergency personnel standing side by side.
