,According to the National EMS Scope of Practice Model,
an EMT should be able to:
a.) adminster epinephrine via the subcutaneous route
b.) assist a patient with certain prescribed medications
c.) insert a perioheral IV line and infuse fluids.
d.) interpret a basic (ECG) rhythm and treat accordingly
b.) assist a patient with certain prescribed medications
,You are transporting a 40-year old male with respiratory
distress. The patient tells you that he recently had a
positive tuberculosis (TB) skin test and is currently being
evaluated for possible TB. You should:
a.) apply a nasal cannula on the patient and a sterile
surgical mask on yourself.
b.) apply a sterile surgical mask on yourself and a HEPA
respirator on a patient
c.) remain at least 3 feet away from the patient and apply a
surgical mask on him.
d.) apply a nonrebreathing mask on the patient and a high-
effciency particulate air (HEPA) respirator on yourself.
,d.) apply a nonrebreathing mask on the patient and a high-
effciency particulate air (HEPA) respirator on yourself.
,
,While transporting a woman with diabetes, you should
inadvertently give oral glucose even though her blood
glucose level was high. You reassess the patient and note
that her condition did not change; she remained stable.
You should:
a.) notify law enforcement so they can file an incident
report.
b.) contact medical control and notify them of the error.
c.) document the error and report it to your supervisor
exclude this intervention from the PCR because it did not
harm the patient.
b.) contact medical control and notify them of the error.
,The official transfer of patient care does not occur until
the EMT:
a.) notifies the admitting clerk of the patient care does not
occur until the EMT:
a.) notifies the admitting clerk of the patient's arrival at the
hospital
b.) gives oral report to the emergency room physician or
nurse.
c.) gives a radio report to the recieving medical facility
d.) informs dispatch of the patient's arrival at the
emergency department
,b.) gives oral report to the emergency room physician or
nurse.
