EMT EXAM CHAPTER 10-12
Questions & Answers
1.an inadequate amount of oxygen being delivered to the cells is
called hypoxia
hypercarbia
hypoxia
hypoxemia
ANS hypoxia
2.what is the name of the only complete cartilaginous ring of the
trachea? thyroid cartilage
cricoid cartilage
bronchi
bronchiole
ANS cricoid cartilage
3.the two main branches of the trachea from the
carina
bronchi
alveoli
bronchioles
ANS bronchi
,4.a harsh, high pitched sound heard during inspiration, characteristic of
an upper airway obstruction due to swelling, is called?
crowing
stridor
snoring
gurgling
ANS stridor
5.which statement indicates that the EMT has an accurate understanding
of the bronchioles?
large airways located after the carina and are supported by cartilage
small air sacs located just before the alveoli
small passages located in the lower airway that have smooth muscle sur-
rounding them
large structure that pass oxygen from the lungs directly into the bloodstream
ANS small passages located in the lower airway that have smooth muscl
surrounding them
6.the EMT is correctly performing the jaw thrust airway maneuver when
they? place one hand on the pt. forehead and lifts the jaw upward with her
other hand
maintains the pt. head in a neutral position and slightly tilts the head back-
ward
opens the pt. airway by slightly extending the head and thrusting the jaw
, upward
place hands on the side of the pt. head and lifts the jaw upward
ANS place hands on the side of the pt. head and lifts the jaw upwards
7.the structure that lies between the trachea and bronchi is
the larynx
carina
cricoid cartilage
bronchioles
ANS carina
8.external respiration is best described as the
exchange of gases between the alveoli and the surrounding capillary bed
exchange of gases between the bloodstream and tissue cells via the surround
ing extracellular fluid
exchange of gases between the alveoli and the external environment through
breathing
exchange of gases between the peripheral tissues and the external envi-
ronment
ANS exchange of gases between the bloodstream and tissue cells via the
surrounding extracellular fluid
9.the process of gas exchange that occurs between the cells and the
systemic capillaries is known as
external ventilation
