NREMT Paramedic Exam With 100%
Correct And Verified Answers 2025
stridor - Correct Answer-Harsh or high-pitched respiratory
sound, swelling, fb in upper airway. Croup is an example
Snoring - Correct Answer-The sound of the soft tissue of the
upper airway creating a partial obstruction of air flow. The
tongue blocking the airway is an example.
gurgling - Correct Answer-indicates presence of fluid in the
upper airway, need for suctioning
Decorticate - Correct Answer-elbows and hands flexed, and
legs flexed. They are internally rotated (the lets look
bowlegged) (make an O with their arms: corticate)
Decerebrate (worse) - Correct Answer-Stiffened and
internally rotated elbows and legs, teeth clenched, legs stiff
and feet extended.
Babinski's response - Correct Answer-dorsiflexion (splaying)
of toes
-abnormal plantae reflex response if over 18 months
Vendarsol
,mydriasis - Correct Answer-dilation of the pupil. Appears in
cardiac arrest, shock, cerebral hypoxia, cocaine,
epinephrine, and amphetamines.
Miosis - Correct Answer-Constricted pupils. Narcotics, CNS
disorder, glaucoma medication, bright light
anisocoria - Correct Answer-unequal pupil size that may
indicate serious neurologic dysfunction
nystagmus - Correct Answer-involuntary rapid eye
movements - often reported as horizontal, vertical, or rotary
subcutaneous emphysema - Correct Answer-Air under the
skin; crepitus sound
rales (crackles) - Correct Answer-Fluid in small airways
(aveoli). Common in CHF, pulonary edema, drowning,
pneumonia, and COPD
Rhonchi - Correct Answer-Coarse, low-pitched breath
sounds heard in patients with chronic mucus in the upper
airways. Found in Bronchitus, COPD, and pneumonia.
Vendarsol
,Wheezing - Correct Answer-The production of whistling
sounds during expiration such as occurs in asthma and
bronchiolitis.
Bronchial lung sounds - Correct Answer-
heard over trachea/upper sternum; expiratory
sound predominates; is higher pitched and
louder; if heard in other locations it indicates
consolidation -- a space that usually contains
air now has fluid
Bronchovesicular - Correct Answer-Heard
over scapula and 2/3rd intercostal space
lateral to sternum.
Apneustic breathing - Correct Answer-
Characterized by prolonged inspirations
unrelieved by attempts to exhale, which
indicates trauma to the pons. AKA long, deep
breaths that are stopped during inspirations
then periods of apnea.
Vendarsol
, Biot's (Ataxic) Respirations - Correct Answer-
Shallow, deep respirations with periods of
apnea
Irregular pattern
Precipitating factors: respiratory depression,
brain damage
Cheyne-Stokes respiration - Correct Answer-
pattern of breathing characterized by a
gradual increase of depth and sometimes rate to a
maximum level, followed by a decrease, resulting in apnea
Hyperventilation - Correct Answer-rapid, shallow breathing
Kussmaul respirations - Correct Answer-very deep and rapid
respirations. Example: DKA
Hyperresonant - Correct Answer-tension pneumothorax,
emphysema, asthma
resonant - Correct Answer-echoing normal sound
right upper quadrant - Correct Answer-Liver, gallbladder, and
stomach
