Section 1: Patient Assessment and Management (Questions 1-25)
Q1: What does the mnemonic SCENE stand for when approaching an emergency
incident?
A. Safety, Cause, Environment, Number of patients, Extra resources
B. Scene assessment, Casualty evaluation, Emergency plan, Navigation, Extrication
C. Standard precautions, Clinical assessment, Emergency drugs, Neurological status,
Evacuation
D. Size up, Circumstances, Entry point, Nature of illness, Exit strategy
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:

Cause (MOI/NOI), Environment (hazards, conditions), Number of patients, Extra
resources needed .
Q2: Under a Dynamic Risk Assessment (DRA), what does the mnemonic ERICPD
represent?
A. Evaluate, Respond, Implement, Control, Prevent, Document
B. Eliminate, Reduce, Isolate, Control, PPE, Discipline
C. Emergency, Response, Incident, Command, Procedures, Deployment
D. Exposure, Restrict, Inform, Coordinate, Protect, Direct
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
, • ERICPD is the hierarchy of control measures: Eliminate the hazard, Reduce the risk,
Isolate people from the hazard, Control exposure, PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment), Discipline (ensuring compliance) .
Q3: What is the definition of manual handling operations?
A. The use of mechanical lifting equipment only
B. Any transporting or supporting of a load (including lifting, putting down, pushing,
pulling, carrying or moving) by hand or bodily force
C. The process of moving patients using wheeled stretchers exclusively
D. Any activity that requires two or more people to lift equipment
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
• Manual handling operations encompass all forms of moving a load using physical
effort, as defined by the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 .
Q4: What does TILEE stand for in manual handling risk assessment?
A. Time, Intensity, Load, Environment, Effort
B. Task, Individual, Load, Environment, Equipment
C. Team, Injury risk, Lifting technique, Ergonomics, Evaluation
D. Training, Inspection, Lifting plan, Execution, Exit strategy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
• TILEE is the mnemonic for manual handling risk assessment: Task (what is
required), Individual (capabilities of the person), Load (weight, shape, stability),
Environment (space, floor, lighting), Equipment (availability and suitability) .
Q5: What are the 4 main types of healthcare waste?
A. Clinical, pharmaceutical, cytotoxic, domestic
B. Mixed sharps, infectious/potentially infectious waste, offensive/hygiene waste,
domestic waste
C. Hazardous, non-hazardous, recycled, contaminated
D. Red bag waste, yellow bag waste, orange bag waste, black bag waste
, Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
• The four main categories of healthcare waste are: mixed sharps, infectious or
potentially infectious waste, offensive/hygiene waste, and domestic waste. Proper
segregation is essential for safety and compliance .
Q6: What does the mnemonic SAMPLE stand for in patient history taking?
A. Signs, Allergies, Medications, Past history, Last meal, Events
B. Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral intake, Events
leading to illness/injury
C. Situation, Assessment, Mechanism, Pain, Location, Examination
D. Severity, Associated symptoms, Medication list, Previous episodes, Location,
Environment
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
• SAMPLE history: Symptoms, Allergies, Medications, Past medical history, Last oral
intake, Events leading to current condition. This provides a comprehensive patient
history framework.
Q7: What are the components of the primary survey in emergency patient
assessment?
A. Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, Exposure (ABCDE)
B. Chief complaint, History, Examination, Diagnosis, Treatment
C. Scene safety, General impression, Level of consciousness, Chief complaint
D. Vital signs, Pain assessment, Medical history, Allergies, Medications
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
• The primary survey follows ABCDE: Airway (with cervical spine control), Breathing,
