EMT-B Basic Final Exam Review
Abduction - ANS -moving away from midline
\Acute narcotic or sedative overdose - ANS -Resp may decrease and become shallow.
\Adduction - ANS -Moving towards midline
\Adult resp rate is? - ANS -12 to 20
\Ambulance stretcher (wheeled) - ANS -Can be used for most situations when there is room and
it can roll easily.
\Anterioir - ANS -Front side of body
\Apex - ANS -Tip of a structure
\Arteries carry? - ANS -Oxygenated blood
\Asthma - ANS -Narrowing of the respiratory passages and buildup of mucus causes trapping of
air and poor gas exchange.
\Backboard: - ANS -usde for most situations, needs multiple people to make it safe
\Bilateral - ANS -Both sides
\Blankets - ANS -For small spaces or when it is hard to get other equipment into the area.
\Capillaries allow: - ANS -Exchange of oxygen and CO2.
\Cardiac Muscle - ANS -Only in the heart.
\Carpals - ANS -Bones in the wrist
\Cells in the kidney can live how long without oxygen? - ANS -up to 45 minutes
\Chest Injury - ANS -Pain interferes with full chest expansion, thus limiting ventilations. Lung
damage itself is secondary to pulmonary contusion, can also prevent gas exchange.
\Child resp rate it? - ANS -15 to 30
\Confidentiality is? - ANS -Communication between you and the patient is considered
confindential and can only be released to other medical staff or with a court order.
\Control and prevention of contamination include? - ANS -Hand washing, gloves, eye protection,
gowns, masks, mask, respirators, barrier devices, and immunizations.
\COPD - ANS -Chronic irritation of the lungs and passageways produces alveolar damage and
poor gas exchange.
\Definite signs of death include: - ANS -Obvious mortal damage, dependent lividity, rigor mortis,
putrefaction.
\Dependent lividity - ANS -Blood settling to the lowest part of the body. "Pooling"
\Diastolic is? - ANS -The residual pressure that remains in the artiers during the relaxing phase
of the heart's cycle, when the left ventricle is at rest.
\Distal - ANS -Structures further from the trunk
\Dorsal - ANS -Spinal side of the body
\Duties include: - ANS -Duty to:
-Respond
-Obey laws and regulations
-Operate an emergerncy vehicle reasonably and prudently
-Provide care and transportation to expected standard
-Provide care and transport consistent with the scope of practice and local medicine protocol
, -Continue and transport through to its appropriate conclusion
\Duty to Act is? - ANS -An obligation to provide care.
\Emergency movement/lifting is: - ANS -Moving a pt before initial assessment. *Clothes drag,
blanket, arm and arm-to-arm drag
\Ethics - ANS -The discipline dealing with what is good and bad.
\Explain the process of breathing. - ANS -O2 reaches body tissues and cells through two
seperate but realted processes - breath and circulation. As we inhale, O2 moves from the
atmosphere into the lungs then passes from the alveoli in the lungs into the capillaries to
oxygenate the blood. At the same time, CO2 produced by the cells in the tissues in the body,
moves from the blood into the alveoli. The blood enriched with O2 travels through the the body
by pumping of he heart. On exhalation, CO2 is expirated.
\Extension - ANS -Straightning of a joint
\Femur - ANS -Bone located in the thigh
\Fibula - ANS -Posterior bone in lower leg
\Fight or Flight response: - ANS -During an acute stress response, the autonomic nervous
system is activated and the body increases level of cotricol, adrenilen, and other hormones that
produce an increased heart rate, quick breathing, and higher BP. Blood is shunted from
extremities to the big muscles to "fight or flight".
\Flexion - ANS -bending of a joint
\Heart Attack - ANS -Tissues begin to die from lack of O2, weakened heart then pumps blood
poorly to rest of body, resulting in systemic shock.
\Heart: - ANS -A hollow organ that consists of 2 atrias and 2 ventricles. It is an involuntary
muscle, controlled by autonomic nervous system.
\How do you correctly measure the size of a nasal airway? - ANS -From the tip of the nose to
earlobe.
\How do you maintain the airway in a pt who is not injured and breathing on his/her own wit
hnormal rate and adeqaute tidal volume? - ANS -place in the recovery position.
\How long does it take the body to pump the entire supply of blood? - ANS -one minute.
\How much O2 is in the air that we exhale? - ANS -16%-17%
\How much O2 is in the air we breathe? - ANS -21%
\Humerus - ANS -Sopporting bone of the forearm
\If mouth-to-mask without O2 attatched is given, how much air is the pt receiving? - ANS
-16%-17%
\Implied consent is? - ANS -Consent in which a patient is unable to give consent and is provided
treatment under the implication they would want treament.
\Inadequate breathing means: - ANS -a person cannot move enough air into the lungs with each
breath, thus not meeting metabolic needs.
\Inadequate signs of breathing in adult include: - ANS -Muscle retractions, pale or cyantoic, cold
and damp skin, tripod position, and noisy breathing.
\Infant resp rate is? - ANS -25 to 50
\Inferior - ANS -Towards the feet
\Informed consent is? - ANS -Permission for treatment given by a patient after the potential
risks, benefits, and alternatives to treatment have been explained.
\Ipsilateral - ANS -Refers to the same side of the body
