correct answers"I've had three heart attacks in the past two years."
Which of the following conditions is most likely to result in a patient developing cardiogenic
shock? correct answersPrior myocardial infarctions
What is the action of nitroglycerin? correct answersVasodilator
A 64 year old male tells you he has taken six nitroglycerin tablets over the past six hours for
chest pressure. His initial vital signs were P 88, R 14, BP 112/86 and SpO2 94% on room air.
During transport, he asks for another nitroglycerin. You should first correct answersre-assess his
vital signs.
You are transporting a 46 year old male who complains of chest pain. He tells you he has never
had this type of pain before. His vitals are P 104, R 16, BP 126/82, and SpO2 is 94% on room
air. You should correct answersprovide supportive care.

As you approach an unresponsive patient, you do not see any chest wall movement. You should
next correct answerscheck for a pulse.
