Time Allowed: 2 Hours 30 Minutes
Total Questions: Approximately 200 (This section contains Questions 1–30)
Instructions to Candidates:
Read each question carefully before selecting the best answer. This
assessment is designed to evaluate clinical reasoning, patient assessment, and
decision-making skills expected of entry-level Emergency Medical
Technicians. Choose the most appropriate answer based on current
prehospital care standards. Do not spend too much time on any one question.
Mark your answers clearly. No external materials are permitted.
Disclaimer:
This is a professionally developed simulation exam inspired by the format and
competency expectations of the EMT FISDAP Readiness Exam. It is intended
solely for educational and preparatory purposes.
Core Competency Domains Assessed:
• Airway, Respiration, and Ventilation
• Cardiology and Resuscitation
• Trauma Assessment and Management
• Medical Emergencies
, • EMS Operations
• Patient Assessment and Clinical Decision-Making
This assessment evaluates readiness for EMT-level clinical performance
through application-based scenarios requiring prioritization, safety
awareness, and adherence to evidence-based protocols. Candidates are
expected to demonstrate integration of knowledge across multiple domains
while maintaining patient-centered care and scene safety.
QUESTIONS
Q1. A 54-year-old male presents with sudden onset chest pain radiating to his
left arm, diaphoresis, and nausea. Vital signs: BP 88/60, HR 120, RR 24. What
is your immediate priority?
A. Administer aspirin
B. Apply oxygen via nasal cannula
C. Initiate rapid transport and notify receiving facility
D. Administer nitroglycerin
Correct Answer: C. Initiate rapid transport and notify receiving facility
Explanation: 🟡 Hypotension (BP 88/60) indicates possible cardiogenic shock;
rapid transport is the priority. Aspirin is appropriate but secondary.
Nitroglycerin is contraindicated due to hypotension. Oxygen may be given but
does not address the immediate instability.
Q2. You arrive at a scene where a patient is unresponsive with agonal
respirations. What is your first action?
A. Check blood glucose
B. Begin chest compressions
,C. Open airway and assess breathing
D. Apply AED
Correct Answer: C. Open airway and assess breathing
Explanation: 🟡 Initial assessment begins with airway and breathing. Agonal
respirations are inadequate; airway must be opened. Compressions begin if no
pulse is present. AED follows confirmation of cardiac arrest.
Q3. A patient with COPD is experiencing respiratory distress. Which oxygen
delivery method is most appropriate?
A. Non-rebreather mask at 15 L/min
B. Nasal cannula at 2–4 L/min
C. Bag-valve mask
D. Venturi mask at 50%
Correct Answer: B. Nasal cannula at 2–4 L/min
Explanation: 🟡 COPD patients rely partially on hypoxic drive; low-flow oxygen
is appropriate initially. NRB may suppress respiratory drive. BVM is for severe
failure. Venturi at 50% may be excessive initially.
Q4. A trauma patient presents with unequal chest rise and diminished breath
sounds on the left. What condition is most likely?
A. Hemothorax
B. Pneumothorax
C. Pulmonary embolism
D. Cardiac tamponade
Correct Answer: B. Pneumothorax
Explanation: 🟡 Unequal chest rise and decreased breath sounds suggest
, pneumothorax. Hemothorax may also reduce sounds but often includes shock
signs. PE and tamponade present differently.
Q5. A diabetic patient is confused and diaphoretic. Blood glucose is 42 mg/dL.
What is the best intervention?
A. Administer insulin
B. Provide oral glucose
C. Administer glucagon IV
D. Begin IV fluids
Correct Answer: B. Provide oral glucose
Explanation: 🟡 Hypoglycemia with intact airway is treated with oral glucose.
Insulin worsens condition. Glucagon is IM, not IV. Fluids alone do not correct
hypoglycemia.
Q6. A patient has a penetrating abdominal injury with evisceration. What
should you do?
A. Replace organs into abdomen
B. Cover with dry sterile dressing
C. Cover with moist sterile dressing
D. Apply direct pressure
Correct Answer: C. Cover with moist sterile dressing
Explanation: 🟡 Organs should not be replaced. Moist sterile dressing prevents
tissue drying. Dry dressings can damage tissue. Direct pressure may cause
harm.
