NREMT - EMS OPERATIONS STUDY
1.The cold zone or clean zone is: an area where adequate
decontamination has ensured that there will be no spread of any
hazardous materials and EMS are able to fully treat patients.
2.Traffic law requires that an ambulance must: stop for a stopped school
bus and wait until the bus driver turns off the flashing lights and
retracts the stop sign
3.When cutting the wires of a battery inside a vehicle...: The negative
battery cable, often black in color, should be cut first. This will create a
break in the electrical circuit of the vehicle. Be sure not to touch any
metal component of the vehicle while doing this!
4.When approaching an intersection...: Always drive as far left as
reasonable
5.You should never pass on the right because...: drivers are taught to pull
to the right when they see an emergency vehicle.
6.Waiting for traffic to clear or taking a longer route may be safer but it...:
will greatly reduce your response time in an emergency. Use these as a
last resort and have good justification.

, 7.A mechanical-piston device and load distributing band device are
capable of...: providing constant chest compressions for the patient in
cardiac arrest
8.START triage uses the mnemonic: RPM(Respirations, pulse, mental
status). Using this tool allows you to quickly and accurately triage any
number of patients.
9.The cold, or green, zone is where the...: majority of treatment will occur.
Patients in the cold zone have been decontaminated but emergency
personnel should still take appropriate safety precautions.
10.If the pediatric patient is apneic but does have a pulse, you should..:
repo- sition their airway and check for respirations.
11.If they still are not breathing...: you should administer 5 rescue
breaths and then recheck respirations
12.If the patient is still apneic, they should be triaged as..: Deceased
13.If the pediatric patient is apneic and pulseless, they should be...:
Deceased
14.A windshield survey is a: quick survey that will help you to form a
