When providing mouth-to-mask ventilation with supplementary
oxygen, what is the first step after sealing the mask to the patient's
face?
A. Follow body substnce precautions before touching the patient.
B. Connect the one-way valve and filter (if available) to the mask.
C. Exhale over the ventilation port for 1.5-2 seconds.
D. Attach oxygen tubing to the mask and set the flow rate at
15- 30mL/min.

D should be done before applying the mask.
D. Ensure a patent airway and request medical direction regarding transport.
For patients who have routine seizures and whose condition returns to normal
quickly after a seizure, you should request medical direction about whether
to transport.
C. Move the patient inside away from the rain.
Safety is critical when performing defibrillation. Any defibrillation attempt in
the rain may possibly harm anyone near the patient during the discharge of
the unit.

Two important principles in the emergency treatment of local
cold injuries are to remove the patient from the cold environment and
to...
A. Rewarm the cold extremity quickly.
B.Warm the whole body as soon as possible.
C. Prevent further tissue damage.
D.Prevent or treat pain.
Give this one a try later!
C. Prevent further tissue damage.
The goal of care in cases of localized cold damage is to prevent further
damage by removing the patient from the cold environment and protecting
the damaged tissues from further injury. Rewarming is best accomplished in
the hospital setting, where pain medication can be administered and the
danger of reinjury due to recooling is diminished.
D. Bell's Palsy
Bell's palsy is the most common form of facial paralysis. Muscular dystrophy is a
degenerative disease characterized by the weakening of skeletal muscles. ALS,
a.k.a Lou Gehrig's disease affects the nerve cells that control voluntary
movement. Dystonia describes repetitive motions or abnormal posturing.
, C. Remove the patient from the house to your ambulance.
Your first action should be to remove your crew and the patient from the
possible noxious gas and to notify the gas company of the leak. You may also be
required to alert hazardous material response team. Treatment for the patient will
begin with an ABC assessment and management of any problems you might
encounter.
C. Logroll the patient and clear the oropharynx and nasopharynx.
Choice C is the correct procedure for clearing the airway when simple
suctioning is not working. Choice B is appropriate for a patient with copious
frothy secretions like the kind produced with pulmonary edema. Choices A and
D are inappropriate without first clearing the airway.

Where is the cricoid cartilage located?
A. Inferior to the larynx.
B.Superior to the epiglottis.
C. At the carina.
D.In the oropharynx.

C. Amniotic Fluid
Fluids containing blood have the highest potential for disease transmission.
