1
If patient is on CPAP but progresses to respiratory failure the EMT should
reassess lung sounds and place patient on a NRB
increase O2 flow
remove the patient from CPAP and begin ventilations with BVM
decrease O2 flow
2
In an unconscious pt who does not have a patent airway, the EMT should
place the pt in the recovery position
reposition the airway and look for obstructions
perform a blind finger sweep
immediately begin to assist ventilations
3
The smallest Circulatory System Vessels are called:
Veins
Lymph Vessels
Ateries
Capillaries
4
The EMT is correctly calculating a patient’s respiratory rate when he or she:
asks the patient to describe how he feels when he breathes.
number of breaths for 30 seconds and multiplies by 2.
obtains a pulse oximetry reading and divides it by 3.
assesses the patient for any sign of respiratory difficulty
5
The EMT is appropriately sizing the nasal airway when she measures the:
Distance from the tip of the nose to earlobe
Diameter of the patient's little finger
Distance from the mouth to the angle of the jaw
Diameter of the larger nostril
6
Adult CPR to breath ratio is
30:1
15:2
15:1
30:2
7
As an EMT, which airway management technique is outside your scope of practice?
intubation
cpap
non-rebreather
combitube
8
40yo pt reveals respiratory distress, tachycardia, expiratory wheezing, with O2 sat of 88%. The EMT should suspect:
swelling in the laryngeal area
infection of the lower airway
fluid in the lower airways
diffuse bronchoconstriction
9
Which of these conditions would the EMT associate with a hypoxic respiratory drive?
Pneumonia
Congestive heart failure
Diabetes
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
10
The chain of survival include early recognition and activation of ems, early cpr, rapid defibrillation, and
ALS and Post Arrest Care
Basic and Advanced EMS
Pre Arrest Care
Early Family Notification
11
Your pt is unresponsive, they have a pulse but are not breathing you should:
Start CPR
Roll them over on their side
Apply the AED
Perform rescue breathing with BVM
12
an important function of the circulatory system is to
transport nutrients and oxygen to the cells
mechanically breakdown food
control muscle movement
absorb nutrients and water form from chyme
13
Mechanical CPR devices are used by EMS agencies in order to provide:
a 100% success rate
better quality of care with less training.
high-quality compressions.
a faster response time to the scene.
14
Normal respiratory rate for an adult is
15-20
12-24
12-20
10-20
15
The EMT should recognize that the oropharyngeal airway has been appropriately inserted when:
The respiratory rate returns to normal
It cannot be dislodged by the EMT
Vomiting is no longer occurring
Its flange rests on the teeth
16
After suctioning a patient's airway, the EMT should
ventilate the patient
perform the Heimlich maneuver
get the AED
start external chest compressions
17
When determining responsiveness
Shake the pt
Perform a trap squeeze
Yell at the pt while performing a sternal rub
Yell at the pt
18
An EMT should be most concerned with a pulse rate maintained above
80 BPM
100 BPM
60 BPM
120 BPM
19
When performing a respiratory assessment, the EMT-B should assess all of the following except:
Chest expansion
Rhythm
Heart rate
Breath Sounds
20
Circulatory system and Respiratory system
Liver and kidneys
Skin and white blood cells
Heart and lungs
Bones and muscles
21
For a patient in respiratory distress, the EMT should
Apply 6L O2 via NC
Apply CPAP
Ventilate with a BVM
Apply O2 via NRB
22
When should the EMT select CPAP for airway management instead of oxygen via NRB?
when the patient refuses a NRB
when the patient is unresponsive
when the patient has severe respiratory distress
when the patient has an O2 sat of 90%
23
As the single EMT managing apneic patient airway, the preferred initial method of providing ventilations is the:
mouth to mask technique with a one way valve
mouth to mouth technique
manually triggered ventilation device
one person bag mask device
24
While the AED is charging you should continue chest compressions?
True
False
25
Which of the following respiratory rates are of concern to the EMT?
RR of 8
RR of 22
RR of 4
RR of 12
