NREMT-Airway, Respiration and Ventilation, EMTquestions with correct answers
B. High pitched sounds like stridor on inspiration
(Rationale: Upper airway obstructions are characterized by high pitched
sounds when the patient inhales.) Correct Answer-An upper airway
obstruction may produce sounds like:
A. Biots breathing
B. High pitched sounds like stridor on inspiration
C. Eronchli Ventalotis
D. Crackles
A. They are blood vessels that begin as capillary surrounding each
alveolus, and with adequate blood volume and blood pressure, the
vessels return oxygenated blood to the heart.
(Rationale: The Pulmonary capillary beds are blood vessels that begin as
capillary surrounding each alveolus and with adequate blood volume and
blood pressure, the vessels return oxygenated blood to the heart.)
Correct Answer-Which statement best describes the Pulmonary capillary
beds?
A. They are blood vessels that begin as capillary surrounding each
alveolus, and with adequate blood volume and blood pressure, the
vessels return oxygenated blood to the heart.
,B. They are airways that begin as capillary surrounding each alveolus,
and with adequate blood volume and blood pressure, the airways return
oxygenated blood to the heart.
C. They are airways that begin as capillary surrounding each alveolus
and with adequate blood volume and blood pressure, they remain open
through smooth muscle tone.
D. They are blood vessels that begin as capillary surrounding each
alveolus, and are made up of millions of thin walled sacs.
A. He has COPD
(Rationale: A pile of cigar butts and lighters in the person's home, plus
the fact that they are in the tripod position and using accessory muscles
to breath, should lead you to assume that they suffer from COPD.)
Correct Answer-You arrive on scene with your partner Nelson to find a
49 year old male complaining of shortness of breath. He is in the tripod
position sitting on a lounge chair. As you kneel down beside him you
notice an ashtray filled with cigar butts and a 10 pack of lighters. From
this scene size up information, you might assume that:
A. He has COPD
B. He is a cigarette smoker
C. He has an upper airway obstruction
D. He was exercising
A. The patient is unresponsive
,(Rationale: The Sellick's maneuver should not be used if: The patient is
vomiting or starts to vomit, the patient is responsive, or if an
endotracheal tube has been placed by advanced level providers.) Correct
Answer-You are preparing to use the Sellick's maneuver. Which of the
following is an indication that it would be appropriate?
A. The patient is unresponsive
B. The patient is vomiting or starts to vomit
C. The patient is responsive
D. An endotracheal tube has been placed by advanced level providers
B. The woman, because the injury is a penetrating wound to the lung
area
(Rationale: A stab wound in the upper right quadrant would likely
puncture a lung. Difficulty breathing would further heighten your
suspicion.) Correct Answer-You and your partner Paulina are called to
the scene of a stabbing. There are two patients reported. A woman with a
stab wound to the URQ and a man with a stab wound to the LRQ. The
woman with the wound in the URQ is having problems breathing and
has a pulse of 103, respirations of 35, and they are shallow. The patient
with the stab wound to the LRQ is complaining of severe abdominal
pain and has a pulse of 60 and a respiration rate of 24. Which patient
probably has a pneumothorax? Why?
A. The man, because his injury is in the thorax
B. The woman, because the injury is a penetrating wound to the lung
area
C. The woman, because high respirations and pulse will cause her
pressure to drop
, D. Neither injury is indicative of a pneumothorax
C. Begin transport while giving blow-by oxygen. Continue to monitor
the status of the child's airway en route to the hospital.
(Rationale: The best choice is to begin transport while giving blow-by
oxygen. As the child's airway is not completely occluded and he is still
exchanging air, you should begin moving toward definitive care while
providing additional oxygen. Using a mask to provide oxygen to a
patient with a foreign body airway obstruction is contraindicated.)
Correct Answer-You are dispatched to an amusement park where a 16-
month-old boy is reported to have something wedged in his throat.
Dispatch says that the child is breathing, but it sounds very noisy like a
whistle. Upon arrival you can see that the child is breathing with stridor,
is pale, and is beginning to turn blue around the lips. What is the best
treatment plan for this patient?
A. Try to see the object in the child's throat and remove with your
fingers if possible. Call for additional help if unable to remove the
object.
B. Give the child 3 back slaps and 3 abdominal thrusts. If the object does
not dislodge, begin transport with non-reabreather mask and O2.
C. Begin transport while giving blow-by oxygen. Continue to monitor
the status of the child's airway en route to the hospital.
D. Perform pediatric Heimlich thrusts with an upward motion slightly
lower than those used on adults.
A. Attach the AED, High flow O2, and prepare to start CPR
