Version
What are signs of ineffective circulation? - CORRECT ANSWER-- Tachycardia
- AMS
- Uncontrolled external bleeding
- Pale, cool, moist skin
- Distended or abnormally flattened external jugular veins
- Distant heart sounds- CORRECT ANSWER-A branch of mechanics (energy
transfer) that refers to motion and does not consider the concepts of force and
mass of the object or body.
,What is Newton's First Law? - CORRECT ANSWER-A body at rest will remain at
rest. A body in motion will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? - CORRECT ANSWER-Energy can
neither be created nor destroyed. It is only changed from one form to another.
What is Newton's Second Law? - CORRECT ANSWER-Force equals mass
multiplied by acceleration of deceleration.
What is kinetic energy (KE)? - CORRECT ANSWER-KE equals 1/2 the mass (M)
multiplied by the velocity squared.
What is the Mnemonic for the Initial Assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER-A =
Airway with simultaneous cervical spine protection
B = Breathing
C = Circulation
D = Disability (neurologic status)
E = Expose/Environmental controls (remove clothing and keep the patient warm)
,What is the Mnemonic for the Secondary Assessment? - CORRECT ANSWER-F
= Full set of VS/Focused adjuncts (includes cardiac monitor, urinary catheter, and
gastric tube)/Family presence
G = Give comfort measures (verbal reassurance, touch, and pharmacologic and
nonpharmacologic management of pain).
H = Hx and Head-to-toe assessment
I = Inspect posterior surfaces
Where do you listen to auscultate breath sounds? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Auscultate the lungs bilaterally at the second intercostal space midclavicular line
and at the fifth intercostal space at the anterior axillary line.
What are the late signs of breathing compromise? - CORRECT ANSWER--
Tracheal deviation
- JVD
What are signs of ineffective breathing? - CORRECT ANSWER-- AMS
- Cyanosis, especially around the mouth
- Asymmetric expansion of chest wall
- Paradoxical movement of the chest wall during inspiration and expiration
, - Use of accessory muscles or abdominal muscles or both or diaphragmatic
breathing
- Sucking chest wounds
- Absent or diminished breath sounds
- Administer O2 via NRB or assist ventilations with a bag-mask device, as
indicated
- Anticipate definitive airway management to support ventilation.
Upon initial assessment, what type of oxygen should be used for a pt breathing
effectively? - CORRECT ANSWER-A tight-fitting nonrebreather mask at 12-15
lpm.
What intervention should be done if a pt presents with effective circulation? -
CORRECT ANSWER-- Insert 2 large caliber IV's
- Administer warmed isotonic crystalloid solution at an appropriate rate
What are the interventions for Effective/Ineffective Circulation? - CORRECT
ANSWER-- Control any uncontrolled external bleeding by:
- Applying direct pressure over bleeding site
- Elevating bleeding extremity
