3. Why might it be more difficult to deal with an airway obstruction in a child?
A. Children have longer tracheas.
B. Children have larger heads and tongues so there is a greater potential for airway
obstruction.
C. Children have smaller heads, so there is less room to clear the obstruction.
D. A child's epiglottis is smaller and stiffer than an adult's. - Question 3: B
Children have larger heads and tongues as compared to an adult so there is a greater
potential for airway obstruction in a pediatric patient. You must pay special attention to
the proper positioning of a pediatric patient to maintain a patent airway.
4. Why might you consider early mechanical ventilation via bag-mask device in a
geriatric patient?
A. Shorter tracheas in geriatric patients create the need for ventilation assistance.
B. Laxity of the rib cage makes hyperventilation more likely.
C. Geriatric patients have greatly limited physiologic reserve.
D. Geriatric patients have a greater alveolar surface area of the lungs. - Question 4: C
Early mechanical ventilation via bag mask device or advanced airway measures should
be considered in geriatric trauma patients because of their greatly limited physiologic
reserve.
1. You have been performing ongoing management on a 35-year-old female patient
who sustained thoracic trauma when a car hit her as she crossed the street. Originally,
your electronic monitoring devices all produce results consistent with your patient's
clinical condition. However, en route the trauma center, the monitors start to differ from
your patient's current clinical condition each time you reassess. How should you handle
this situation?
A. Treat the patient's condition, not the monitor results.
B. Continue to reassess the patient and record the results for the trauma center.
C. Treat your patient based on the test results.
D. Stop testing and wait until you arrive at the trauma center for them to perform an
assessment. - Question 1: A
If there are inconsistent data from electronic monitoring devices, reassess to be sure
the monitor matches the patient's current clinical condition. However, it is most
important to treat the patient, not the monitor, so use other signs and symptoms of
potential patient deterioration.
2. You have determined that you are going to need to perform orotracheal intubation on
a 50-year-old male motor vehicle crash (MVC) critically injured trauma patient due to
prolonged transport time. What do you need to do first?
, A. Preoxygenate to maximize oxygen saturation.
B. Place the patient in a "sniffing"position.
C. Clear the mouth of any obstructions.
D. Prepare the patient for immediate transport. - Question 2: A
Before insertion of any invasive airway, the patient is preoxygenated with a high
concentration of oxygen using a simple airway adjunct or manual airway procedure.
3. You are oxygenating a pediatric patient using a properly fitted oxygen mask and the
"squeeze-release-release" timing technique. As you watch for the rise and fall of the
chest, you check end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) monitoring aiming to maintain what level?
A. Between 40 and 45 mm Hg
B. Between 30 and 35 mm Hg
C. Between 35 and 40 mm Hg
D. The level is irrelevant because capnography is inaccurate in pediatric patients. -
Question 3: C
The proper level to maintain is between 35 and 40 mm Hg.
1. Which of the following requires you to develop a plan of action, initiate the plan,
reassess the plan as care for the patient moves forward, and adjust the plan as the
patient's condition or circumstances change?
A. Principles of PHTLS
B. The Golden Period
C. The XABCDE assessment
D. Critical thinking process - Question 1: D
To help achieve the PHTLS goals, you will apply your critical thinking skills in the field.
Critical thinking in medicine is a process in which the healthcare practitioner assesses
the situation, the patient, and the resources available and uses the information to decide
on and provide the best care for the patient.
2. When using the XABCDE assessment, which of the following takes precedence over
all other actions?
A. Controlling severe bleeding from a limb or other compressible site
B. Airway stabilization and assessing circulatory status
C. Exposing the body to allow a thorough evaluation
D. Ensuring adequate breathing - Question 2: A
The "X" placed before "ABCDE" in the primary survey refers to the need to address
exsanguinating hemorrhage immediately after establishing scene safety and before
addressing airway. Severe exsanguinating hemorrhage, particularly arterial bleeding,
has the potential to lead to loss of total or near total blood volume in a relatively short
period of time.
3. Which of the following is the basis on which a patient's chance of survival is
maximized?
A. Preferences
