NREMT STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% PASS A+ 2024.
• An exaggerated immune system response to any substance ✔✔Which of the
following MOST accurately defines an allergic reaction?
• An exaggerated immune system response to any substance
• Destruction of the immune system by an external substance
• A release of erythrocytes in response to a foreign substance
• A direct negative effect on the body by an external substance
D) Oxygen via nonrebreather mask, supine position with legs elevated 6" to 12" and transport
✔✔You are caring for a conscious, confused patient with left-sided hemiparalysis. His airway
is patent and his respirations are 22 breaths/minute with adequate tidal volume. Treatment for
this patient should include:
• Oxygen via nonrebreather mask, left lateral recumbent position, and transport.
• Assisted ventilation with a BVM, right lateral recumbent position, and transport
• An oral airway, assisted ventilation with a BVM, Fowler's position, and transport
• Oxygen via nonrebreather mask, supine postition with the legs elevated 6" to 12" and
transport
,• Kidney ✔✔A young female presents with costovertebral angle tenderness. She is
conscious and alert with stable vital signs. Which of the following organs is MOST likely
causing her pain?
• Liver
• Kidney
• Pancreas
• Gallbladder
• Assist him with his nitroglycerin unless his systolic BP is less than 100 mm Hg ✔✔A
62 year-old male presents with crushing chest pain, which he describes as being the same
kind of pain that he had with a previous heart attack. He has prescribed nitroglycerin, but
states he has not taken any. After administering 100% oxygen and contacting medical
control you should:
• Begin immediate transport and request rendezvous with a paramedic unit.
• Assist him with his nitroglycerin unless his systolic BP is less than 100 mm HG
• Administer up to three doses of nitroglycerin before assessing his blood pressure
• Administer the nitroglycerin unless he has taken Viagra within the past 72 hours
,• Assess for the presence of a brachial pulse ✔✔You receive a call to a local daycare center
for an unconscious 8-month-old infant. Upon arrival, you perform an assessment and
determine that the infant is not breathing. After delivering two rescue breaths, you should:
• Assess for the presence of a brachial pulse.
• Begin chest compressions and request backup
• Immediately transport the child to the hospital
• Assess for a carotid pulse for 10 to 15 seconds
D) Rocky mountain spotted fever ✔✔You are dispatched to a residence for a young female
who is "sick" The patient complains of a rash to her lower extremities and truncal area. Your
assessment reveals a small, painful blister on her inner thigh. As your partner is taking the
patient's vital signs, she states that she and her family returned from a camping trip 2 days
ago. On the bass of this patient's presentation, you should suspect:
• Lyme disease
• An allergic reaction
• Exposure to poison ivy
• Rocky mountain spotted fever
, • Transport the child immediately and have the parents meet you at the hospital ✔✔You
arrive at the scene of a motor vehicle versus pedestrian accident. The patient, a 13-year-old
male, is unconscious and has multiple injuries. As you are treating the child, a law
enforcement officer advises you that the child's parents will be at the scene in approximately
15 minutes. What should you do?
• Transport the child immediately and have the parents meet you at the hospital
• Treat the child at the scene and wait for the parents to arrive and give consent
• Begin transport at once and have the parents meet you en route to the hospital
• Withhold treatment until the parents arrive and give you consent for treatment
• Continue attempted ventilations and transport immediately ✔✔You and your partner are
caring for a critically injured patient. Your partner is controlling severe bleeding from the
patient's lower extremities as you attempt ventilations with a BVM. After repositioning the
mask several times, you are unable to effectively ventilate the patient. you should:
• Begin ventilations using the mount-to-mask technique
• Hyperextend the patient's head and reattempt ventilations
• Continue attempted ventilations and transport immediately
• Suction his airway for 30 seconds and reattempt ventilations
