AEMT TESTS COMPILATION BUNDLE
2026 EMERGENCY TEST PAPER
QUESTIONS ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Asthma patient becomes apneic and hands you a inhaler what do you
do?
Answer: begin ventilation
◉ what are the alveoli purpose in the respiratory system?
Answer: exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules to and from
bloodstream
tiny little clusters of balloon shaped air sacs sit at the end of the
respiratory tree in the lungs
◉ gas exchange in lungs
Answer: Occurs via diffusion
O2 concentration is higher in the lungs than in the blood, so O2 diffuses
into blood.
CO2 concentration in the blood is higher than in the lungs, so CO2
diffuses out of blood.
◉ contraindication with consumption of alcohol is?
Answer: Nitrous Oxide
◉ flail segment or flail chest
,Answer: two or more adjacent ribs that are broken in two or more
places, creating a free floating section
causes inadequate breathing due to pain
◉ Cheyene stokes breathing usually caused by
Answer: ICP
intracranial pressure
abnormal pattern of deeper and sometimes faster breathing followed by
decreased breathing leading to apnea which is no breath
◉ DKA diabetic ketoacidosis
Answer: Shortage of insulin resulting in hyperglycemia and production
of keytones and also leads to kidney failure
Kaussmauls breathing which is labored and deep leads to severe
metabolic acidosis
◉ Transporting a pt on a ventilator and the pressure release valve pops?
Answer: means there is increased pressure in airway
◉ The best indicator of Cellular perfusion in Base deficit?
Answer: end tidal CO2 monitoring which verifies gas exchange
◉ Fix inspired oxygen FiO2 starts at 24% and increases how?
Answer: 1 LPM equals 24% 2 LPM 4% increase to 28%
, ◉ Patient in destress can't use MDI which is albuterol what is next best
thing
Answer: Nebulizer treatment with a mask
◉ respiratory distress
Answer: increased work of breathing; a sensation of shortness of breath
◉ respiratory failure
Answer: The reduction of breathing to the point where oxygen intake is
not sufficient to support life
◉ respiratory arrest
Answer: when breathing completely stops
◉ yaunker suctions?
Answer: oral cavity
◉ Ventricular Tachycardia which is V-tach leads to
Answer: V-fib
Ventricular fibrillation
rapid inadequate heart rhythm
occurs in bottom portions of heart
can be triggered by a heart attack
