NREMT EXAM (AIRWAY, RESPIRATION,& VENTILATION) exam questions and answers correct and graded A+NREMT EXAM (AIRWAY, RESPIRATION,& VENTILATION) exam questions and answers correct and graded A+ Dosage of Epi for children/ adults - correct answers-.15mg/.3mg You would determine a patient hypoxic if their SPO2 levels are below.....? - correct answers-0.95% You and your partner Tom arrive on scene of a gang shooting where the police have secured the area. There are two patients in their teens with multiple gunshot wounds to the arms, legs, and chest. You would immediately? - correct answers-Apply 3-sided dressing to the chest wounds and assess breathing while your partner treats the other patient.A gunshot wound to the chest is a life threatening injury and should be treated immediately with a 3-sided dressing as long as the scene is safe (the scenario said it was). The other answers may have things that should be done but not immediately. Gastric distention can interfere with movement of the diaphragm and lead to what other problem? - correct answers-HYPO-VENTILATION. When the diaphragm cannot move very well, that inhibits breathing. Poor breathing will lead to low oxygen levels or hypoxia. Which list includes only abnormal breath sounds? - correct answers-Abnormal breath sounds include: stridor, wheezing, crackles, silent chest, and unequal breath sounds. Any of these conditions would be cause for concern and would require a further evaluation of your patient. Air that is exhaled contains approximately ________. Air that is inhaled contains approximately _____________. - correct answers-16% oxygen / 21% oxygen Air in the atmosphere that we breath in has approximately 21% oxygen. The air that we exhale has about 16%. You arrive on scene of a patient who was found unconscious by his wife. She stated that she found him in the garage next to a running vehicle. She also notes that she opened the garage door and dragged him outside. You place your pulse oximeter on the patient and you receive a reading of 99%. You suspect that this patient is suffering from CO poisoning. This reading would be considered? - correct answers-Falsely normal.Pulse oximeters read that there is something on the hemoglobin and not what is actually binding to the hemoglobin. During anaphylactic shock, the patient's BP is likely to ________. - correct answers-Decrease.Anaphylaxis will likely produce a low blood pressure as the vasculature is dilated. This dilation can increase chances of shock as well. A spontaneous pneumothorax is ________________. - correct answers-A sudden accumulation of air in the pleural space,Spontaneous pneumothorax happens more often in men than women and is the sudden accumulation of air in the pleural space. Chest trauma is not spontaneous. You and your partner Paulina are called to the scene of a stabbing. There are two patients reported. A woman with a stab wound to the URQ and a man with a stab wound to the LRQ. The woman with the wound in the URQ is having problems breathing and has a pulse of 103, respirations of 35, and they are shallow. The patient with the stab wound to the LRQ is complaining of severe abdominal pain and has a pulse of 60 and a respiration rate of 24. Which patient probably has a pneumothorax? Why - correct answers-The woman, because the injury is a penetrating wound to the lung area. A stab wound in the upper right quadrant would likely puncture a lung. Difficulty breathing would further heighten your suspicion. Which statement best describes the Trachea? - correct answers-A hollow tube that passes air to the lower airway and is supported by cartilage rings. Which of the following choices are considered parts of the upper respiratory system? - correct answers-Mouth, nasal cavity, and larynx. The upper respiratory system is everything above the trachea. The carina is distal to the trachea. Respirations in a newborn would be considered normal at ______________. - correct answers-60 breaths per minute. However, the normal respiratory rate for a newborn is between 40 and 60 however this drops to 30 - 40 after the first few minutes of life. How many lobes does the right lung have? - correct answers-3. The right lung has three. Upper, middle, and lower. How many lobes does the left lung have? - correct answers-2. Upper and lower You are treating a patient who was involved in a vehicle accident. The patient's head struck the steering wheel causing trauma to the face. What is your primary concern with this patient when considering the airway? - correct answers-The primary concern would be to open and maintain the airway. Recognizing that blood, teeth, tissue and other foreign bodies will likely obstruct the airway is vital in any patient with facial trauma. Opening the airway may be all that is needed in this patient, and assisting with ventilations may not be required. If ventilations are required, there is the possibility of difficulty getting a proper seal. A patient with head trauma can also stop breathing spontaneously, however the primary concern starts with opening and maintaining the airway. Your partner Gina has just finished suctioning some vomit from a patient's airway with a French tip catheter. What should Gina do next? - correct answers-Prepare to suction again by rinsing catheter with sterile water Anticipating the need for additional suctioning should be followed by cleansing of the catheter with sterile water. Which is the correct description for calculating the duration of flow for oxygen cylinders? - correct answers-Subtract the safe residual pressure from the gauge pressure, then multiply by the cylinder constant, lastly, divide by the flow rate in L/min. The correct formula for calculating the duration of flow for oxygen cylinders is: Subtract the safe residual pressure from the gauge pressure, then multiply by the cylinder constant, lastly, divide by the flow rate in L/min. Some formulas do not include a safe residual pressure, but a residual pressure should always be included as a margin for patient safety. What are the main differences between a child's airway and an adult's airway? - correct answers-A child's airway is narrower at the Cricoid ring and the tongue is larger in proportion to the mouth. The proportions of a child's airway are different and the tongue takes up more space. The Cricoid cartilage is also the narrowest part of a child's airway. Your patient is a 9 year old girl who is showing signs of nasal flaring. She is most likely? - correct answers-In respiratory distress. A typical sign of respiratory distress in children is the flaring of the nostrils. Which of the following descriptions best depicts the Bronchioles? - correct answers-They are thin hollow tubes that lead to the alveoli and remain open through smooth muscle tone. As a lone rescuer you are preparing to perform ventilations, why would you choose a mouth to mask device rather than a bag mask? - correct answers-You are able to achieve a better seal. A better seal can be achieved with the pocket mask as a lone rescuer because both hands can be used to manage the mouth to mask seal. With a bag mask you only have one hand to manage the seal. The mouth to mask technique also allows you to manage the airway at the same time. Which of the following is a contraindication for the nasopharyngeal airway? - correct answers-Nasal fracture. Contraindications for the nasopharyngeal airway include: severe head injury with blood draining from the nose and/or history of a fractured nasal bone. Your partner is preparing to administer oral glucose to a patient when you stop him and say: - correct answers-Don't give that, he has an altered level of consciousness." if a patient has an altered level of consciousness, then they may not be able to swallow and protect their own airway. This is a contraindication of using oral glucose. Any of the other reasons are not valid reasons for stopping the administration of oral glucose. An 8 year old boy has a piece of hot dog caught in his throat causing a partial airway obstruction. Which of the following respiratory sounds would you most likely hear? - correct answers-Stridor is a high pitched inspiratory and or expiratory sound, indicating an obstruction in the upper airway. It can be caused by a foreign body airway obstruction or medical conditions, like croup. Wheezing is usually associated with lower respiratory problems like asthma. Rales are associated with the lower portions of the airway being partially blocked by fluid or swelling, resulting in a popping sound during inhalation as the alveoli pop open. Biot's is associated with head injuries and is usually characterized by groups of shallow quick inhalations. You and your partner Naven have just arrived at a home where a woman in her 70's was reported to have passed out. You enter the residence to find a man in his 20's performing rescue breathing on the elderly woman who is supine on the floor. Naven attaches the AED and advises the man to move away. He pushes the analyze button and no shock is advised. The two of you begin CPR, delivering approximately_______________________. After 1 cycle of CPR an elderly gentleman enters the room and shows you a valid looking DNR signed by the patient and her doctor. What should you do?______________ - correct answers-6 breaths and 110 compressions over 1 minute / Respect the DNR AHA Guidelines specify that a 30:2 compression to ventilation ratio be used during CPR on this patient. The ratio would yield approximately 6 breaths per minute and at least 100 compressions. On the second part of the question: If someone shows you a valid DNR you should respect it and discontinue resuscitation. You arrive at a restaurant to a call of a woman choking. You find her sitting in a chair, very pale, and sweating. She states in a very hush tone that she has a piece of steak caught in her throat. You should immediately? - correct answers-Encourage her to cough as it is likely high enough in the airway to expel it. Unless her airway is completely blocked you should not attempt Heimlich thrusts. If she can speak there is a chance she can work the obstruction out herself. Asthma is classified into two types. - correct answers-Extrinsic asthma, which is more common in childhood, causes brochioles constriction as a result of an outside substance like dust. Intrinsic asthma is more common in adults where no specific cause for the bronchioles con
