Demo Test

1. What would be the correct sequence of treatment for a 76 year old female with a pulse of 142. The patient is also cyanotic around the lips and nail beds?

Ventilate her with a BVM and transport

Continue assessment to determine cause and call ALS

Continue assessing en route to the hospital and apply high flow O2

Perform a rapid trauma assessment and transport rapidly

2. You and your partner Amy arrive on scene to find a woman with hives over much of her body. She is wheezing and complaining of difficulty breathing. Her husband says she was stung by a hornet and has no prior history of allergies. What would be the best course of action?

Use an autoinject epinephrine pen and administer to the patient's thigh. Obtain signed transport refusal.

Make sure blood pressure is above 100 mmHg and inject her with epinephrine 1/1000.

Get her BP, pulse, and respirations and then inject her with epinephrine only if her vitals are within normal limits.

High flow O₂ and rapid transportation if the patient appears to be going into anaphylaxis.

3. You have just arrived at the scene to find a 27-year-old female complaining of anxiety and breathing difficulties. Which of the following questions would be most appropriate to ask first?

What is your name?

What day is today?

Do you have a history of panic attacks?

How long have you been having trouble breathing?

4. According to the current AHA Guidelines how many milliliters of tidal volume should you deliver via BVM to an adult patient who is apneic?

80ml-100ml

100ml-500ml

500ml-1000ml

Just enough to give adequate chest rise

5. You arrive on scene with your partner to a restaurant where a man was reported to be choking. You enter and find an unconscious cyanotic male on the floor. He is supine with BBQ sauce on his mouth and a napkin in his hand. What would you do for this patient?

Verify apnea, give two slow breaths with high flow O2, and administer back thrusts until the object has been removed.

Ask the bystanders what happened. Verify no pulse, and attach the AED. Tell everyone to stand back, and hit analyze, following the prompts.

Administer abdominal thrusts, followed by a finger sweep, and then administer high flow O2. Monitor patient while transporting.

Head tilt, chin lift, verify apnea and begin Compressions. Upon completion of the compressions, give two slow breaths looking for chest rise and fall.

6. Your patient is an 18 month old boy who, as reported by his mother, is "acting strange". You arrive to find the child reclined in his mother's arms. "I don't know what's wrong with him," she says. "I came out of the bathroom and he started making odd sounds and had spit running out of his mouth." What is the first thing you should do?

Roll the child into a recovery position and begin suctioning the oropharynx.

Notify the pediatric ward at the hospital of the situation and do a rapid transport with high flow O2 via NRB.

Insert a properly measured OPA to secure the airway. Pad the child's shoulders to align the airway.

Get a general impression of the child by visually assessing the quality of his respirations, his skin color, and his appearance.

7. The umbilical cord is wrapped tightly around the baby's neck and you have tried unsuccessfully to slip the cord over the head. What should your next course of action be?

Push the baby's head into the vagina until the cord comes loose

Clamp the cord in two places and cut it in the middle

Support the head and suction the baby's nose and mouth

Massage the uterus to stimulate harder contractions to free the baby

8. A child between 3-5 would have normal vitals if they were?

35 breaths a minute, pulse of 88, and Systolic BP of 100

24 breaths a minute, pulse of 76, and Systolic BP of 98

20 breaths a minute, pulse of 120, and Systolic BP of 120

20 breaths a minute, pulse of 100, and Systolic BP of 110

9. You have just arrived on scene to a call of man down. A man is lying prone on the sidewalk outside of a bar and there are several bystanders who say they witnessed him just fall over forward. As you check his pulse and respirations you find that he is breathing shallow at about 8 per minute and his pulse is 112. What would be the proper choice of action?

Shake him to see if he wakes up, take his blood pressure, and put a c-collar on him

While maintaining c-spine precautions log roll him to a supine position and open his airway

Do a rapid trauma assessment and then take his blood pressure

Ask the bystanders if he had been drinking and then log roll him onto a backboard

10. You are assessing an 84 year old man. Upon auscultation of the lungs you discover crackles or rale sounds. He is complaining of chest pain and congestion. These signs and symptoms can indicate?

An embolism

Collapse of the vena cava

Right ventricular failure

Left ventricular failure
