A. on her left side
B. in the prone position
C. in the supine position
D. in a semisitting position A
Snoring respirations are most rapidly managed by
A. suctioning the oropharynx
B. initiating assisted ventilations
C. correctly positioning the head
D. inserting an oropharyngeal airway C
The scene size-up includes all of the following components, except:

B. applying personal protective gear
C. assessing the need for assistance

,Firefighters have rescued a man from his burning house. He is conscious and in considerably
respiratory distress. He has a brassy cough and singed nasal hairs. The most immediate threat to
this patient's life is:
A. hypothermia
B. severe burns
C. severe infection
D. closure of the airway D
(Because of the signs and symptoms that this patient is exhibiting, you must be immediately
concerned with the potential for closure of the airway and be prepared to assist ventilations.
Signs of airway burns include respiratory distress, singed nasal hairs, a brassy cough, difficulty
breathing and coughing up soot sputum. Infection, the burns themselves and hypothermia
should concern you; however, airway problems are the greatest threat to human life.)
Immediately upon delivery of a newborn's head, you should first:
A. dry the face
B. cover the eyes
C. suction the nose
D. suction the mouth D
Which of the following conditions would most likely cause flushed skin?
A. shock
B. hypoxia
C. exposure to heat
D. low blood pressure C
(Flushed or red skin commonly is seen in patients who are exposed to heat. Fever can also cause
flushed skin. Shock and low blood pressure generally cause the skin to become pale, and
hypoxia causes cyanosis, a bluish-gray tint to the skin.)
After a patient has a seizure, they will have a gradual state of awakening. This phase of a seizure
is called:
A. the tonic phase
B. the postictal phase
2|Page
,C. the clonic phase
D. an aura B
The process of losing heat through direct contact is called:
A. radiation
B. convection
C. conduction
D. evaporation C
You are called to assist s SCUBA diver who is having trouble breathing. The patient states that it
started approximately 15 minutes after she surfaced. She complains of chest pain, dizziness,
blurred vision and nausea and vomiting. The patient is most likely suffering from:
A. pneumothorax
B. decompression sickness
C. barotrauma
D. an air embolism D
(Any of these could be associated with dive incidents but these signs and symptoms are
indicative of an air embolism. Divers who suffer from decompression sickness, or the bends,
typically do not develop signs and symptoms of the bends for 12 to 24 hours after their dive.
Barotrauma usually occurs as the diver is ascending or descending.)
You are called to the home of a 20-year-old male who is depressed. The patient states he is
going to kill himself. Your first step in treating this patient after the scene is safe is to:
A. restrain the patient to prevent him from hurting himself
B. ask the patient why he wants to do something so stupid
C. ask the patient how he plans t kill himself
D. turn the scene over to law enforcement C
(At this point, the scene is safe and the patient does not appear to be a threat to anyone.
Restraining him would not be appropriate. No matter how you feel about what the patient is
going to do, it is inappropriate for you to say that the patient is going to do something stupid.
You should continue your treatment of the patient and not turn the scene over to law
enforcement.)

, The patient is bleeding severely from the lower leg. You have applied direct pressure and
elevated the leg. Your next step is to:
A. apply a tourniquet
B. apply direct pressure
C. apply pressure at the pressure point
D. elevate the arm C
When treating an eye injury involving an impaled object, it is important to:
A. cover both eyes and stabilize the object
B. cover the affected eye and stabilize the object
C. stabilize the object and do not cover either eye
D. remove the object and cover both eyes A
You have successfully converted your cardiac arrest patient out of v-fib with your AED. The
patient has a pulse and respirations are 6 per minute. You should:
A. continue CPR
B. monitor patient
C. administer 15 LPM via NRB
D. continue to assist the patient with ventilations via a BVM and oxygen D
Which of the following arryhythmias should be shocked using an AED?
A. asystole
B. ventricular tachycardia
C. pulseless electrial activity
D. atrial fibrillation B
A soft-tissue injury that results in a flap of torn skin is referred to as:
A. an incision
B. an avulsion
C. an abrasion
D. a laceration B
