CIEMT Quiz #2 Solution Manual Solved Correctly
Pathophysiology - Answers Applied knowledge of respiration and perfusion to patient assessment
Prone - Answers Laying face down
Supine - Answers Laying face up
For spinal injuries = spinal immobilization
Apices - Answers Pointy End
Not always superior
Coronal Plane - Answers Front/back
Sagittal Plane - Answers Left/Right
Transverse Plane - Answers Upper/Lower
Anterior - Answers Front Surface
Posterior - Answers Back Surface
Midaxillary - Answers Line from upper armpit to ankles
Divides anterior and posterior
Midclavicular - Answers Divides each clavicle parallel to midline on anterior surface
Midscapular - Answers Midclavicular lines on posterior
Medial - Answers Toward midline
Distal - Answers Further from trunk
Farther down an extremity
Proximal - Answers Closer to trunk
Superior - Answers Closer to head
Inferior - Answers Closer to feet
Superficial - Answers Closer to skin
Deep - Answers Further from surface of skin
Bilaterally - Answers Appearing on both sides midline
, Unilaterally - Answers Appearing on single side or midline
Shock - Answers Anything causing widespread inadequate tissue perfusion
Signs: Thready pulse (tachycardic=fast) or weak pulse, cool pale and diaphoric, capillary refill is delayed
(pushing on nailbed for two seconds color should return
Hypovolemic Shock - Answers (low volume), severe blood and fluid loss make heart unable to pump
enough blood to core
Shock Position - Answers Patient laying flat with legs elevated 6-12"
Shock-->stress-->sympathetic response-->compensatory-->shunts blood to core-->supine and elevated
position to help blood move to core easier
Trendelenburg's Position - Answers Shock position on a backboard (not used by EMT'S)
Reverse Trendelenburg's Position - Answers ICP (Intracranial Pressure) patients = lift head of backboard--
gravity helps brain stay put
Left Lateral Trendelenburg - Answers Emergency childbirth=hips elevated above head, patients who may
vomit
Supine position creates hypotension and can restrict blood flow to vital organs
Pulmonary Adema - Answers Fluid in lungs, hypotensive Low BP
Thoracic (pluera) - Answers In two layer: visceral covering surface, wall of cavity
Air in potential space outside lungs
Pnumothoracic Cavity
Paracordial Sac - Answers Sac around your myocardium
Myocardial Infarction - Answers Changes that occur in it due to sudden deprivation of circulatory blood
Main change is necrosis (death) of myocardial tissue.
Infarction refers to clogging of artery
Abdominal (peritonium) - Answers Hallow organs have a whole lot of nasty
Nasty will spread through abdominal cavity, peritonitis
Skeletal System - Answers Protects vital organs, and acts as a framework for attachment of bones
