◍ A team is called to transport a man who was found unconscious in a shed on
his farm. His hands show burns characteristic of frostbite, his clothing is
saturated with an acrid-smelling liquid, and there is evidence of redness and
blistering where his clothes are wet. The nurse should suspect exposure to.
Answer: Anhydrous Ammonia
◍ A lighted land airport would have what color beacon?a. Two quick white
flashes followed by a green flashb. Flashing white and yellowc. Flashing
white, green and yellowd. Flashing white and green.
Answer: d. Flashing white and green
◍ Slow Decompression.
Answer: Slow decompression, also known as gradual or subtle
decompression, is a gradual decrease in cabin pressure that can occur over a
long period of time. It can be difficult to notice before warning devices
activate or oxygen masks fall. Slow decompression can be caused by:A
faulty door sealA malfunctioning pressurization systemA cracked windowA
leak in the aircraft pressure vesselA malfunctioning outflow valveA
reduction in cabin air inflow due to a malfunctioning compressorA failure to
cabin pressurization as an aircraft climbs to altitude
◍ Which of the following should be done during slow decompression?.
Answer: The biggest concern with a slow decompression is insidious onset
of hypoxia. Using supplemental oxygen is the most important action to take.
◍ The type of visibility when reported in a METAR is always reported in
"SM"a. Prevailing Visibilityb. RVRc. Sector Visibility d. RVV.
, Answer: a. Prevailing Visibility
◍ Epidural hematomas.
Answer: classically present with brief periods of lucidness with sudden
changes in responsiveness.
◍ In the setting of septic shock, if the lactate level does not decrease by at least
10% despite fluid resuscitation and vasopressor administration,.
Answer: then a positive inotropic agent should be added.
◍ A lighted heliport would have what color beacon?a. Two quick white
flashes followed by a green flashb. Flashing white and yellowc. Flashing
white, green and yellowd. Flashing white and green.
Answer: c. Flashing white, green and yellow
◍ What are the four elements of a METAR that are NOT stated as missing if
they are not in the report?a. Wind, Dew Point, Present Weather Group,
Remarksb. Dew Point, Present Weather Group, Remarks, Altimeterc. Report
Modifier, RVR, Present Weather Group, Remarksd. RVR, Present Weather
Group, Dew Point, Remarks.
Answer: c. Report Modifier, RVR, Present Weather Group, Remarks
◍ What medium black lines provide navigational to the arrival fix?a. Arrival
routeb. Departure routec. Transition routed. SID.
Answer: c. Transition route
◍ Positive inotropes.
Answer: can help when your heart can't get enough blood to your body
because it is too weak to pump the amount of blood your body needs.
◍ Tunneling and Capping are an example of what Traffic Management
Initiative (TMI)?a. Reroutesb. Altitudec. Fix balancingd. Ground stops.
Answer: b. Altitude
◍ What type of TMI will provide an Expect Departure Clearance Time
(EDCT) for an aircraft based on its estimated time en route and its arrival
slot?a. Ground stop (GS)b. Ground delay program (GDP)c. Sequencing
, programd. Capping.
Answer: b. Ground delay program (GDP)
◍ How do positive inotropes work?.
Answer: Positive inotropes make your heart muscle contractions stronger,
raising your cardiac output to a normal level and increasing the amount of
blood your heart can pump out.
◍ What kind of TMI assigns a departure time to achieve a constant flow of
traffic over a common point?a. Altitudeb. Fix balancingc. Sequencing
programd. Miles in trail (MIT) or Minutes in trail (MINIT).
Answer: c. Sequencing program
◍ A specified number of miles between aircraft that meet a specific criteria,
such as similar operating speeds is what kind of TMI?a. Minutes in trail
(MINIT)b. Sequencing programc. Reroutesd. Miles in trail (MIT).
Answer: d. Miles in trail (MIT)
◍ What kind of TMI assigns a departure time that will facilitate integration in
the en route stream?a. Sequencing programb. Airborne holdingc. Altituded.
Ground stops.
Answer: a. Sequencing program
◍ What is true course corrected for the wind?.
Answer: True Heading
◍ According to their location, ATO air traffic control facilities are assigned to
one of:a. nine regionsb. three service areasc. eleven FAA primary officesd.
four FAA headquarters divisions.
Answer: b. three service areas
◍ Dopamine.
Answer: During resuscitation, treatment with dopamine is usually reserved
for hypotension that occurs with symptomatic bradycardia or after ROSC.
Dopamine in combination with other agents, including dobutamine, remains
an option in the management of postresuscitation shock.
, ◍ Dobutamine (Dobutrex).
Answer: *class*: beta-adrenergic agonist, inotropic*Indication*: short term
management of heart failure*Action*: Dobutamine has a positive inotropic
effect (increases cardiac output) with very little effect on heart rate.
Stimulates Beta1 receptors in the heart.*Nursing Considerations*:- Monitor
hemodynamics: hypertension, ↑HR, PVCs- Skin reactions may occur with
hypersensitivity- Beta blockers may negate therapeutic effects of
dobutamine- Monitor cardiac output
◍ Which of these allows routes to be preprogrammed by means of a data
loader?a. Flight Management System (FMS)b. Primary Flight Display
(PFD)c. Multi-function Display (MFD)d. Route Computer.
Answer: a. Flight Management System (FMS)
◍ A military airport would have what color beacon?a. Two quick white flashes
followed by a green flashb. Flashing white and yellowc. Flashing white,
green and yellowd. Flashing white and green.
Answer: a. Two quick white flashes followed by a green flash
◍ Vicarious Liability.
Answer: Legal doctrine under which a party can be held liable for the
wrongful actions of another party.
◍ The air traffic facility that has no direct authority over Instrument Flight
Rules (IFR) or Visual Flight Rules (VFR) traffic is the a. Airport Traffic
Control Tower (ATCT)b. Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON)c.
Flight Service Station (FSS)d. Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC).
Answer: c. Flight Service Station (FSS)
◍ In patients with bronchospasm, (asthma with wheezez despite nebs).
Answer: you must decrease their respiratory rate to allow for a longer
expiration time to allow blow off of CO2. This increases the I:E ratio.
◍ The Air Traffic Organization (ATO) is managed by a(n)a. Associate
Administratorb. Vice Presidentc. Chief Operating Officerd. Administrator.
Answer: c. Chief Operating Officer
