✔✔A DNR or Do Not Resuscitate Order is another name for - ✔✔an advance directive
✔✔A GCS of less than 10 may mean - ✔✔that a patient would benefit from aeromedical
transport.
✔✔HEPA stands for - ✔✔High Efficiency Particulate Air
✔✔Hepatitis C is a condition - ✔✔in the liver that can lead to many life threatening
conditions as the disease progresses throughout the patient's life. It is primarily spread
through blood to blood contact.
✔✔Fire Hazard - Red - ✔✔Flash Point-temp to incite air
Scales from 1-4 with increasing deadliness
✔✔HEALTH HAZARD - Blue - ✔✔Scales from 1-4 with increasing deadliness
✔✔Reactivity (Instability) - Yellow - ✔✔Scales from 1-4 with increasing deadliness
✔✔Specific Hazard - White - ✔✔OX or OXY Oxidizer
W (with line through it) Use no water
, ✔✔Alpha radiation is a - ✔✔very weak type of radiation that can be stopped by the skin.
✔✔The primary blast injury is - ✔✔caused by the shockwave hitting the body.
✔✔Secondary blast injuries are caused - ✔✔by fragments being propelled through the
air and striking the body.
✔✔Tertiary blast injuries are - ✔✔when the body is projected onto an object (i.e. thrown
into a wall), or the object strikes them (i.e. a building collapsing onto someone).

case another vehicle strikes the emergency apparatus.
✔✔When parking your emergency vehicle to block oncoming traffic at the scene of a
crash... - ✔✔Park at a 45 degree angle to deflect traffic away from the incident if a
vehicle does hit the emergency apparatus. If you need to shut down all lanes of the
road, don't hesitate to do so. Your safety and the safety of all personnel at the scene is
more important than keeping a road open for travel.

proceed with a rescue operation.
✔✔The multiplex system is made up - ✔✔of multiple duplex channels.
✔✔Duplex systems - ✔✔send and receive data over the same frequency.
✔✔Combining duplex systems allows - ✔✔for multiple tiers of communications to occur
at once.
