HM2 ADVANCEMENT FINAL EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
✔✔Nerve Agent Pre-Tx - ✔✔The Food and Drug Administration approved the use of
pyridostigmine bromide in 2003.
Soldiers may be issued a 14-day package with two blister packs of pyridostigmine
tablets. Each blister pack contains 21 tablets, and each tablet contains 30 mg of
pyridostigmine. When ordered by the unit commander, one tablet is taken orally every 8
hours. Doctrine allows commanders to renew the order once, for a total of 28 days.
✔✔Pyridostigmine Bromide Side-Effects - ✔✔Common side effects are increased bowel
movements and abdominal cramping. In most cases these side effects decrease or
resolve completely after a few days.
✔✔Nerve Agents - ✔✔GA - Tabun
GB - Sarin
GD - Soman
VX
✔✔Chloropicrin - ✔✔Initially synthesized in 1848 and was used in World War I as a tear
gas and insecticidal fumigant
✔✔M40A1, M42A2, and M45 Masks - ✔✔These masks provide users with respiratory,
eye, and face protection against chemical and biological agents and radioactive fallout
particles. These masks were not designed for use in toxic industrial chemical (TIC)
environments and are known to be ineffective against some of these chemicals, such as
ammonia and carbon monoxide. The masks are also not suitable for confined spaces
where oxygen is insufficient to support life. A key design feature is the use of a standard
C2A1 NATO threaded filter canister.
✔✔MCU-2A/P Protective Mask - ✔✔(Air Force Technical Order 14P4-15-1) is designed
to protect the face, eyes, and respiratory tract from tactical concentrations of chemical
and biological agents, toxins, and radioactive fallout particles. The mask is not
authorized for use during TIC spills and is not effective against chemicals such as
ammonia, chlorine, or carbon monoxide fumes. The mask is not effective in confined
spaces where oxygen levels are insufficient to sustain life.
✔✔M50 and M51 Joint Service General Purpose Masks - ✔✔Is the first joint service
protective mask designed to replace the M40/M42 series of masks for the US Army and
Marine Corps ground and combat vehicle operations, and the MCU-2/P series of masks
for the Air Force and Navy shore-based and shipboard applications. Both masks use
twin M61 filters, positioned on either side of the face piece to provide protection against
nuclear, biological, and chemical threats.
, ✔✔M53 Chemical-Biological Protective Mask - ✔✔Is specially designed to meet US
Special Operations requirements; it is not a standard mask issued to other service
members. Uses a single general purpose filter, positioned on the side of the face, to
provide protection against nuclear, biological, and chemical threats and certain TICs.
✔✔When simultaneous vaccine injections are necessary - ✔✔administer vaccines in
different limbs or separate the injections by at least 1 inch
✔✔Two or more live virus vaccines must be administered - ✔✔simultaneously or
separated by at least 28 days
✔✔To avoid interference of live virus vaccine and TB test - ✔✔(1) Administer live virus
vaccines and TB test on the same day.
(2) Perform TB test 4 to 6 weeks after administration of live virus vaccines, or
(3) Administer live virus vaccines, once the TB test is read
✔✔Store refrigerated vaccines at - ✔✔35°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C)
✔✔Store frozen vaccines at - ✔✔5°F (-15°C) or lower.
✔✔Physically confirm the temperature of all vaccine refrigerators and freezers at a
minimum of - ✔✔two times per day
✔✔Keep vaccine temperature logs for - ✔✔at least 3 years
✔✔Test vaccine temperature alarm systems - ✔✔at least monthly, keep records for 3
years
✔✔Validated vaccine transport containers - ✔✔Vaxicool, Vaxipac, manufacturer
shipping containers, Styrofoam(tm) coolers with at least 2-inch thick walls, or
Endurotherm insulating shipping containers.
✔✔Possible Pregnancy and the Smallpox Vaccine - ✔✔Assess the date of the last
menstrual period.. For women whose last menstrual period was more than 28 days ago,
a pregnancy test is recommended.
✔✔Official Paper Immunization Record - ✔✔-A printed report from the electronic ITS, in
CDC Form 731 (International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis)
-SF 601 (Health Record-Immunization Record)
-DD -Form 2766C (Adult Preventive and Chronic Care Flowsheet) (Continuation Sheet)
format
*Must be accompanied by an official clinic stamp and the authorized signature and
printed name of an authenticating official
