EXAM TEST BANK| 2 VERSIONS (VERSION A & B)
WITH COMPLETE 550 REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERRS (VERIFIED
ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST RECENT!!)
EMT FISDAP TRAUMA VERSION A.
What chemical do muscle cells release after being damaged?
a. Calcium
b. Magnesium
c.
d. Sodium - Correct Answer - c. Potassium
Potassium is the predominated intercellular ion. When muscle cells die,
they release potassium, which may lead to rhabdomyolysis.
An altered 24-year-old male has an evisceration. In which position
should the patient be transported?
a. Reverse Trendelenburg
b. Supine with knees flexed
c. Left lateral
d. Trendelenburg - Correct Answer - b. Supine with knees flexed
Transporting a patient in a supine position with their knees flexed (bent)
will help relieve pressure on the abdomen.

An unresponsive 31-year-old female was found at the bottom of a
stairwell. She has blood draining from her ears and nose and dry vomit
on her face. Emergency Medical Responders are unsure how long she
has been there. Vital signs are BP 202/122, P 54, R 10 and irregular,
SpO2 81%. What should you do?
a. Obtain IV access.
b. Perform endotracheal intubation.
c. Assist ventilations with a bag-valve mask.
d. Apply high-flow oxygen by non-rebreather mask. - Correct Answer -
c. Assist ventilations with a bag-valve mask.
You should assist her ventilations with a bag-valve mask because she is
breathing at of rate of 10 and irregular. Â Her pulse oximetry is low and
her vital signs indicate that she has a traumatic brain injury. Assisting
ventilations can help increase her SpO2 and reduce brain swelling
A 25-year-old male is unconscious after a car crash. His car struck a tree
head-on at highway speeds. He has abdominal guarding upon palpation
and bruising around the umbilicus. Vitals signs are BP 50/30, P 120 and
weak, R 28. What should you suspect?
a. Gallbladder rupture
b. Ruptured diaphragm
c. Bilateral kidney contusions
d. Abdominal hemorrhage - Correct Answer - d. Abdominal hemorrhage
You should suspect bleeding into the abdomen with a trauma patient
who is hypotensive without any other signs of injury. The guarding and

umbilicus bruising is a sign that there has been significant bleeding into
the abdomen.
A 20-year-old female complains of shortness of breath after being
physically assaulted with a tennis racket. She has bruises on the
midclavicular line of her chest. Vital signs are BP 120/80, P 80, R 22.
What should you suspect?
a. Simple pneumothorax
b. Cardiac contusion
c. Tension pneumothorax
d. Pulmonary embolism - Correct Answer - a. Simple pneumothorax
You should suspect a simple pneumothorax with stable vital signs and
the symptom of shortness of breath. A tension pneumothorax is
something you should monitor for because a simple pneumothorax can
develop into a more serious condition. Non-invasive continuous
waveform capnography would be useful to monitor patient ventilations.
A 31-year-old male was in a car crash at highway speeds. He has a
contusion above his left breast and left lateral torso. Vital signs are BP
90/76, P 118 with diminished heart tones, R 24. What should you
suspect?
a. Cardiac contusion
b. Pulmonary contusion
c. Tension pneumothorax
d. Cardiac tamponade - Correct Answer - d. Cardiac tamponade
pg. 3
, Page 4 of 234
You should suspect a cardiac tamponade. The key information is the
diminished heart tones and a very narrow pulse pressure. As the
pericardial sac fills with blood, the heart has less and less space to
expand. The pulse pressure narrows from the inability to expand and
contract properly and heart tones become diminished because the blood
muffled the sound.
A patient is unresponsive with snoring respirations. His arm is
amputated just above the elbow and is bleeding heavily. The EMT
should:
a. open the patient's airway.
b. apply a proximal tourniquet.
c. administer high-flow oxygen.
d. ventilate with a bag-mask device. - Correct Answer – b. apply a
proximal tourniquet.
Major hemorrhage kills patients faster than a compromised airway, so in
this case, bleeding control has the highest priority. The EMT should
apply a proximal tourniquet and stop the bleeding immediately.
Attention can then turn to the patient's airway and breathing status. As
with any patient, treatment priorities must focus on injuries or conditions
that will be the MOST immediately fatal.
Which of the following factors would reduce the blood's natural ability
to clot, thus worsening internal or external bleeding?
a. Tachycardia
b. Hypothermia
