You are caring for a conscious patient who you believe is having an acute ischemic stroke. After
administering oxygen, your next priority should include:
• A: providing prompt transport for possible fibrinolytic therapy.
• B: administering 1 tube of oral glucose to rule out hypoglycemia.
• C: closely monitoring the blood pressure every 15 to 20 minutes.
• D: determining whether the patient has prescribed nitroglycerin. - ANSWER-You selected A;
This is correct!
Reason: Fibrinolytic (clot-buster) therapy is critical to a patient who is having a stroke if it is
initiated within 3 hours after the onset of symptoms. It is critical to ask a family member or
bystander when the patient was last seen normal. In addition to providing supplemental
oxygen, transport the patient without delay so that she may receive fibrinolytic therapy (if she is
a candidate) at the hospital. Because fibrinolytic therapy decreases the blood's ability to clot, its
use is limited to patients with ischemic strokes. It would increase intracerebral bleeding in
,patients with hemorrhagic stroke; therefore, fibrinolytic therapy is contraindicated for these
patients. Hypoglycemia can easily be ruled out by assessing the patient's blood glucose level
with a glucometer. Nitroglycerin is of no relevance in this scenario because the patient is not
suspected of having a cardiac event. Monitor the patient's vital signs every 5 to 15 minutes, or
as dictated by her clinical condition, while end route to the hospital.
You are called to the residence of a 39-year-old male with flu-like symptoms. The patient tells
you that he has been feeling ill for the last 2 days. He has a fever, headache, and diarrhea, and
asks that you take him to the hospital. His blood pressure is 120/60 mm Hg, his pulse is 110
beats/min, and his respirations are 16 breaths/min. You should:
• A: request an ALS ambulance to the scene to start an IV line.
• B: ask him if he has a history of HIV infection or hepatitis.
• C: advise him that he can drive himself to his family physician.
• D: offer oxygen and transport him in a position of comfort. - ANSWER-You selected D; This is
correct!
Reason: Although the patient is likely experiencing the flu, there are other diseases, some of
which are communicable, that can cause similar symptoms. The patient is requesting EMS
transport; failure to comply constitutes abandonment. Although he is tachycardic, the
remainder of his vital signs are stable; therefore, requesting an ALS ambulance to the scene to
start an IV is not necessary. Simply transport him in a position of comfort and offer him
supplemental oxygen. If the patient is infected with HIV or hepatitis, he may choose to
voluntarily disclose that information. However, to inquire about infection with such diseases is
unethical.
Which of the following is MOST indicative of a primary cardiac problem?
• A: Tachypnea
• B: Sudden fainting
• C: Irregular pulse
• D: Tachycardia - ANSWER-You selected C; This is correct!
,Reason: An irregular pulse signifies an abnormality within the electrical conduction system of
the heart. Tachycardia, sudden fainting (syncope), and tachypnea (rapid breathing) can indicate
many things other than cardiac problems, such as shock, heat-related problems, and diabetic
complications. You should always consider the possibility of a cardiac problem in a patient with
an irregular pulse.
A 56-year-old man was the unrestrained driver of a small passenger car that rolled over twice
after he rounded a corner too fast. He is unresponsive; has rapid, shallow respirations; and has a
rapid, weak pulse. His left arm is completely amputated just below the elbow. As you and your
partner are treating the patient, other responders are trying to find the amputated arm. Which
of the following statements regarding this scenario is correct?
• A: Your priority should be to recover the man's arm because a vascular surgeon may be able to
successfully reattach it.
• B: Quickly move the patient to the ambulance, continue treatment, and wait for the other
responders to recover his arm.
• C: You should transport the patient immediately, even if the other responders recover his arm
before you depart the scene.
• D: If the patient's arm has not been recovered by the time you are ready to transport, you
should transport without d - ANSWER-You selected D; This is correct!
Reason: Life takes priority over limb. The patient is in shock, which may be complicated by a
head injury; therefore, he requires rapid transport to a trauma center. Although efforts should
be made to recover an amputated body part, this must not delay transport of a critically injured
patient. If the arm has not been recovered by the time you are ready to transport, you must
transport without delay. If his arm is located after you depart the scene, it can be transported
separately. If his arm is recovered before you depart the scene, however, you should take it with
you; surgeons may be able to successfully reattach it. Care for the amputated part in accordance
with your local protocols.
When assessing a patient who complains of chest pain, which of the following questions would
you ask to assess the "R" in OPQRST?
• A: Is there anything that makes the pain worse?
, • B: Is the pain in one place or does it move around?
• C: Did the pain begin suddenly or gradually?
• D: What were you doing when the pain began? - ANSWER-You selected B; This is correct!
Reason: The "R" in OPQRST stands for radiation or referred pain. An appropriate way to
determine whether the pain radiates or not is to ask the patient if the pain remains in one place
or if it moves around. When determining if the patient has referred pain, ask him or her if he or
she hurts somewhere other than his or her chest. If you use the term "radiating pain," chances
are the patient will not understand what you are asking.
You are assessing a young male who was stabbed in the right lower chest. He is semiconscious
and has labored breathing, collapsed jugular veins, and absent breath sounds on the right side
of his chest. This patient MOST likely has a:
• A: liver laceration.
• B: hemothorax.
• C: pneumothorax.
• D: ruptured spleen. - ANSWER-You selected B; This is correct!
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 of the brain
due to a blocked cerebral artery, whereas hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level) deprives the
