ANSWER; LATEST UPDATED VERSION
2026; ALREADY GRADED A+
Agents of Terrorism - correct answer- Terrorism
involves overt actions for expressed purpose of causing harm
Nuclear agents
Biologic agents
Chemical agents
Prompt recognition and identification of potential health
hazards are essential
Agents of Terrorism 2 - correct answer- Explosive
devices
Blast, crush, or penetrating injuries
Blast injuries
Supersonic pressurization shock wave caused by explosion;
damage to lungs, middle ear, GI tract
Crush injuries
Explosions in confined spaces causing structural collapse
May contain materials that are projected, resulting in
penetrating injuries
,Agents of Terrorism-summary - correct answer-
Anthrax(bacteria)-inhalation or cutaneous-anthrax
vaccine/antitoxin-antibiotics-not contagious
Smallpox-vaccine within 3 days of exposure-contact and
airborne
Botulism (food)-antitoxin
Plague-antibiotics/contact /droplet until 72 hours after
antibiotics
Tularemia(animal) bacteria-can be airborne-antibiotics
Sarin-nerve gas-antidote atropine and pralidoxime(antipoisoning
agent).
Appropriate interventions for abuse or trafficking - correct
answer- Make referrals
Notify appropriate agencies
Provide emotional support
Inform victims about options
Biologic agents - correct answer- Most common
agents: anthrax, smallpox, botulism, plague, tularemia, and
hemorrhagic fever
,Anthrax, plague, and tularemia
Treated with antibiotics assuming sufficient supplies and
nonresistant organisms
Vaccines available for most agents
Cardiac arrest - correct answer- Chest compressions
Rapid defibrillation
Targeted temperature management (TMM)
Supportive care
Cardiac Arrest and Targeted Temp - correct answer-
TTM (targeted temp management)/therapeutic hypothermia
At lease 24 hours after ROSC (return of spontaneous circulation)
Use cold saline infusions/surface cooling devices
Pts need intubation, mechanical ventilation, and invasive
monitoring
Monitor for dysrhythmias, check potassium and glucose
Cardiac Emergency - correct answer- Cardiac Arrest
Ventricular Fibrillation
, Ventricular Tachycardia
Asystole
PEA
Care of Emergency Patient Gerontologic Considerations -
correct answer- People over 65 years old account for
16% of ED visits
Aggressive interventions are warranted for all injuries regardless
of age unless patient has a
Preexisting terminal illness
Extremely low chance of survival
Advance directive
Care of Emergency Patient Primary Survey - correct
answer- G stands for get resuscitation adjuncts—LMNOP
L for laboratory tests
M for monitor ECG
N for nasogastric tube or orogastric tube(head or facial trauma)
O for oxygenation and ventilation assessment
P for pain management
