1. An EMT arrives on the scene of a motor vehicle collision. The
scene is safe, and there are multiple patients. Which of the following
actions should the EMT take FIRST?
A. Begin triage of patients
B. Don appropriate PPE
C. Immediately begin patient assessment
D. Request additional resources
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Scene safety includes personal protective equipment
(PPE) for the EMT. Donning appropriate PPE (gloves, eye
protection, high-visibility vest) is the first action to protect the
provider before patient contact. Standard precautions apply to all
patients. Triage comes after PPE and scene size-up; patient
,assessment occurs after PPE; additional resources may be needed but
not before self-protection.
2. The primary purpose of the EMS system is to:
A. Provide advanced life support to all patients
B. Deliver rapid response, appropriate care, and transport to
definitive care
C. Replace hospital emergency departments
D. Generate revenue for the community
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The EMS system is designed to provide rapid response,
appropriate prehospital care, and timely transport to definitive care
facilities. EMTs provide basic life support; ALS is an extension.
EMS does not replace EDs or exist for revenue generation.
3. An EMT is exposed to potentially infectious blood during patient
care. Which document outlines the employer's responsibilities for
post-exposure evaluation?
A. The EMS protocol manual
,B. The Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030)
C. The HIPAA Privacy Rule
D. The EMT Scope of Practice
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires
employers to provide post-exposure evaluation and follow-up at no
cost to the employee. This includes risk assessment, testing, and
prophylaxis if indicated. HIPAA addresses privacy; Scope of
Practice defines procedures.
4. Which of the following is an example of a qualitative vital sign?
A. Blood pressure
B. Heart rate
C. Level of consciousness
D. Respiratory rate
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Qualitative signs are descriptive and subjective (AVPU,
pain description, skin color). Quantitative signs are measurable
, numerically (blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, SpO₂). Level
of consciousness requires descriptive assessment (Alert, Verbal, Pain,
Unresponsive).
5. The EMT's scope of practice is defined by:
A. The medical director only
B. State laws, regulations, and local medical direction
C. The EMT textbook
D. Hospital protocols only
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Scope of practice is legally defined by state statutes and
administrative rules, then operationally defined by local medical
direction and protocols. Medical directors work within state
frameworks. Textbooks educate but don't authorize. Hospitals don't
define prehospital scope.
6. An EMT is off-duty and encounters a motor vehicle collision.
They have no equipment. The EMT should:
A. Drive away to avoid liability
