Hypoglycemia and acute ischemic stroke can present
similarly because:
• A:both oxygen and glucose are needed for brain
function.
• B:the majority of stroke patients have a history of
diabetes.
• C:the most common cause of a stroke is hypoglycemia.
• D:they are both caused by low levels of glucose in the
blood. - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ • A:both oxygen and
glucose are needed for brain function.
Reason: Although stroke and hypoglycemia are two
distinctly different conditions, their signs and symptoms
are often similar. This is because the brain requires both
oxygen and glucose to function normally. An acute
ischemic stroke is caused by a lack of oxygen to a part
,2|Page
of the brain due to a blocked cerebral artery, whereas
hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level) deprives the
entire brain of glucose. In either case, the patient
presents with signs of impaired brain function (ie, slurred
speech, weakness, altered mental status). Both conditions
may lead to permanent brain damage or death if not
treated promptly.
When dealing with an emotionally disturbed patient,
you should be MOST concerned with:
• A:gathering all of the patient's medications.
• B:safely transporting to the hospital.
• C:whether the patient could harm you.
• D:obtaining a complete medical history. - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ You selected C; This is correct!
Reason: When managing any patient with an emotional
or psychiatric crisis, your primary concern is your own
safety. Safely transporting the patient to the hospital is
your ultimate goal. If possible, you should attempt to
obtain a medical history and should take any of the
patient's prescribed medications to the hospital.
However, this should not supercede your own safety or
interfere with safely transporting the patient.

You are at the scene where a man panicked while
swimming in a small lake. Your initial attempt to rescue
him should include:
• A:rowing a small raft to the victim.
• B:reaching for the victim with a long stick.
• C:throwing a rope to the victim.
• D:swimming to the victim to rescue him. - .....ANSWER
...✔✔ You selected B; This is correct!
Reason: General rules to follow when attempting to
rescue a patient from the water include "reach, throw,
row, and then go." In this case, you should attempt to
reach the victim by having him grab hold of a large stick
or similar object. If this is unsuccessful, throw the victim a
rope or flotation device (if available). If these are not
available, row to the patient in a small raft (if
available). Going into the water to retrieve the victim is
a last resort. The rescuer must be a strong swimmer
because patients who are in danger of drowning are in
a state of blind panic and will make every attempt to
keep themselves afloat, even if it means forcing the
rescuer underwater.
How should you classify a patient's nature of illness if he
or she has a low blood glucose level, bizarre behavior,
and shallow breathing?

• A:Behavioral emergency
• B:Altered mental status
• C:Respiratory emergency
• D:Cardiac compromise - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ The
correct answer is B;
Reason: The nature of illness (NOI) is the medical
equivalent to mechanism of injury (MOI). Altered mental
status should be the suspected NOI in any patient with
any fluctuation in level of consciousness, which can range
from bizarre behavior to complete unresponsiveness.
Causes of an altered mental status include hypo- or
hyperglycemia, head trauma, stroke, behavioral crises,
drug overdose, and shock, among others.
A young female is unresponsive after overdosing on an
unknown type of drug. Her respirations are slow and
shallow and her pulse is slow and weak. Which of the
following drugs is the LEAST likely cause of her
condition?
• A:Seconal
• B:Heroin
• C:Cocaine
• D:Valium - .....ANSWER ...✔✔ The correct answer is
C;
