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