EMT TRAUMA ACTUAL TEST PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉B: applying oxygen, elevating the lower extremities per protocol,
and providing warmth.. Answer: Basic shock treatment includes:
A: applying oxygen, elevating the upper body, and taking measures
to prevent hypothermia.
B: applying oxygen, elevating the lower extremities per protocol, and
providing warmth.
C: elevating the lower extremities, applying and inflating the PASG,
and applying oxygen.
D: applying and inflating the PASG, applying oxygen, and thermal
management.
◉A: below the C5 level.. Answer: A patient with a spinal injury may
still be able to use his or her diaphragm to breathe, but would lose
control of the intercostal muscles, if the spinal cord is injured:
A: below the C5 level.
B: above the C3 level.
C: above the C5 level.
D: between C1 and C2.
,◉D: cover her ear and nose with a loose gauze pad to collect the
blood.. Answer: Following a head injury, a young female is
semiconscious and is bleeding from the nose and left ear. You
should:
A: place a pressure dressing over her ear to prevent blood loss.
B: control the bleeding from her nose by pinching her nostrils
closed.
C: insert a nasal airway to keep her tongue from blocking the airway.
D: cover her ear and nose with a loose gauze pad to collect the blood.
◉C: manually stabilize the leg above and below the knee.. Answer:
During a soccer game, an 18-year-old woman injured her knee. Her
knee is in a flexed position and is obviously deformed. You should:
A: assess circulatory function distal to her injury.
B: immobilize the knee in the position in which it was found.
C: manually stabilize the leg above and below the knee.
D: straighten the knee to facilitate immobilization.
◉C: Apply a moist, sterile dressing covered by a dry, sterile dressing..
Answer: Following penetrating trauma to the abdomen, a 50-year-
old woman has a large laceration with a loop of protruding bowel.
How should you manage this injury?
A: Carefully replace the bowel and apply an occlusive dressing.
,B: Apply a tight pressure dressing to control any external bleeding.
C: Apply a moist, sterile dressing covered by a dry, sterile dressing.
D: Apply a dry, sterile dressing covered by an occlusive dressing.
◉A: apply a tourniquet proximal to the injury until the bleeding
stops.. Answer: Despite direct pressure, a large laceration continues
to spurt large amounts of bright red blood. You should:
A: apply a tourniquet proximal to the injury until the bleeding stops.
B: elevate the extremity and apply a tight pressure dressing.
C: apply pressure to the pulse point that is proximal to the injury.
D: place additional dressings on the wound until the bleeding stops.
◉A: cover the wound with an occlusive dressing and apply direct
pressure.. Answer: A gang member was cut on the left side of the
neck during a fight and is bleeding heavily from the wound. His
airway is patent and his breathing is adequate. You should
immediately:
A: cover the wound with an occlusive dressing and apply direct
pressure.
B: apply a tight pressure dressing and secure it in place with tape.
C: perform a head-to-toe assessment to find and treat other injuries.
D: apply high-flow oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask at 15 L/min.
, ◉B: manually stabilizing his head with his helmet still on, removing
the face mask, administering high-flow oxygen, placing him onto a
long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a
lateral head stabilizer.. Answer: A football player complains of severe
neck pain and tingling in his arms and legs after being tackled. He is
conscious and alert, has a patent airway, and is breathing adequately.
He is in a supine position and is still wearing his helmet, which is
tight-fitting. The MOST appropriate treatment for this patient
includes:
A: manually stabilizing his head, carefully removing his helmet,
administering high-flow oxygen, applying a cervical collar, placing
him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps
and a lateral head stabilizer.
B: manually stabilizing his head with his helmet still on, removing
the face mask, administering high-flow oxygen, placing him onto a
long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a
lateral head stabilizer.
C: manually stabilizing his head, leaving his helmet on, applying a
vest-style spinal immobilization device, placing him onto a long
backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps and a lateral
head stabilizer.
D: carefully removing his helmet, manually stabilizing his head,
applying a cervical collar, administering high-flow oxygen, placing
him onto a long backboard, and restricting spinal motion with straps
and a lateral head stabilizer.
