the middle of the armpit and is parallel to the midline and midclavicular lines.
What position is preferred when transporting a person who is unconscious from a

This makes any vomiting and fluid drainage that may occur easier to deal with and
it's safer for the patient as it helps prevent aspiration.
Which statement best describes the function of platelets in the body? -
ANSWER:Platelets are the main factor in forming blood clots. A low platelet count
can cause excessive bleeding. A high platelet count can cause thrombosis.
Your patient is an 18 month old boy who, as reported by his mother, is "acting
strange". You arrive to find the child reclined in his mother's arms. "I don't know
what's wrong with him," she says. "I came out of the bathroom and he started
making odd sounds and had spit running out of his mouth." What is the first thing
you should do? - ANSWER:Initially, you want to form a general impression of the
patient using the pediatric assessment triangle. (PAT) PAT is Work of Breathing, Skin
Circulation, Appearance. The pediatric assessment triangle is used to form a rapid
general impression of a child without making physical contact. Look at the child's
appearance and muscle tone. Look at the work of breathing for signs of respiratory
distress. Tachypnea or retractions of sternum and or intercostal muscles is a sign of
respiratory difficulty. Look at the skin as a quick reference for circulation. Pallor can
be a sign of poor circulation
It is a warm August afternoon and you are called to the residence of a 78 year old
male who has been in the back of your ambulance several times. Dispatch reports

an empty bathtub unable to get out. As you enter the bathroom the patient greets
you by name and apologizes for his caregiver calling 911. "I just need help getting out
of the bathtub", he says. The man's respirations are at a good depth with a rate of 20
per minute. His skin is a little red and his pulse is 118. Blood pressure is 138/78. He
denies any pain. What is most likely wrong with this man and how should he be
treated? - ANSWER:The most likely cause of this man's condition is mild
hypothermia. Although the ambient temperature is warm, the bathtub conducts
heat away from the body. Also, the body radiates heat into the air and air circulation
further increases the heat loss through convection. Evaporation of any water that
