You and your partner Xavier arrive at a sushi bar to a call of a man choking. You find
him sitting in a back booth, very pale and diaphoretic. He tells you in a whisper that he
has a chunk of fish caught in his throat. What would you do next? -
ANSWER>>Encourage him to cough it up. The ability to speak signifies that it is likely
high enough in the airway to cough up
Unless his airway is completely blocked, you should not attempt Heimlich thrusts. If he
can speak there is a chance he can work the obstruction out himself.
What must you do first before inserting an oral airway? - ANSWER>>Measure it
measure oral airways from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe or jawline.
You are dispatched to a possible cardiac arrest. You arrive 10 minutes from the time of
the call. You and your partner enter the residence to find a man in his 50's lying supine
on the living room floor. His wife says that he "just collapsed" while eating dinner. Which
of the following treatment choices is most appropriate at this time according to AHA
Guidelines? - ANSWER>>Perform 30 compressions and then look inside the mouth
before attempting to ventilate
When a patient collapses while eating you should always suspect a possible Foreign
Body Airway Obstruction. A visual check of the mouth with each airway
opening/ventilation cycle is now recommended by AHA. AHA guidelines now
recommend attaching the AED and attempting to defibrillate as soon as you have one
available.
,If someone has audible inspiratory stridor they may have - ANSWER>>An upper airway
obstruction
Stridor on inspiration = upper airway obstruction, life threatening
Stridor on exhalation = lower airway restriction.
You have an unconscious patient. What do you do? - ANSWER>>ABCs, History taking,
Rapid full body scan
ABCs are part of the primary survey, which is then followed by history taking, and then
the secondary assessment. A rapid full body scan is the first step of the secondary
assessment.
When someone has an upper airway obstruction you may hear sounds like? -
ANSWER>>High pitched wheezing when they breath in
Upper airway obstructions are often characterized by high pitched sounds when the
patient inhales.
You and your partner Sue have just arrived on scene to an unknown injury/ illness. You
see a man lying against the side of a convenience store who appears unconscious. One
of the witnesses tells you that the man was standing there and then just fell over hitting
his head on the building and sliding down into the sitting position. As you check his
pulse and respirations you find that he is breathing shallow at about 10 per minute, and
his pulse is rapid. What would you do first for this patient? - ANSWER>>Maintain c
spine and move him to a supine position, then open his airway
fall = c-spine and airway
,A call has come in for a possible drowning. You and your partner respond to a public
swimming pool a few blocks from the station. A 9-year-old boy apparently slipped while
running, hit his head on the edge of the pool, and fell in. He has no pulse and he is not
breathing. What would be your best choice of action? - ANSWER>>Take manual
stabilization of the boy's head and neck while additional rescuers ventilate at about 13
breaths per minute and provide at least 100 compressions per minute.
two person health care provider CPR performed on a child should be done at a 15:2
ratio (13 breaths a min).
A child is breathing at 32 breaths per minute. This would be considered
______________. - ANSWER>>above range
Child respiration rates = 20 and 30.
You arrive on scene with your partner Leonard to the report of a child appearing
lethargic. Upon entering the house, you see a 9-year-old girl lying on the couch. Her
father says she has been breathing strangely and began vomiting about 45 minutes
ago. During your assessment, you determine she needs to be transported to the ER
immediately. Which of the following sets of vitals would lead you to believe this girl is in
need of immediate transport? - ANSWER>>BP 100/58, respirations of 14 per minute
and a pulse of 130
The respirations are too slow and the pulse is too fast
When approaching a pediatric patient, what important information can you gain from a
distance? - ANSWER>>The patient's appearance, work of breathing, and the circulation
to the skin
How would you suction a newborn infant? - ANSWER>>The mouth first and then the
nose
, Respirations in a newborn would be considered normal at ______________. -
ANSWER>>60 breaths per minute
normal respiratory rate for a newborn is between 40 and 60 however this drops to 30 -
40 after the first few minutes of life.
An adult and a child's airway are much different from each other. Which answer most
correctly describes this relationship? - ANSWER>>Child's airway is narrower at the
Cricoid ring and the tongue is larger in proportion to the mouth
You are assisting your partner who is preparing to intubate a 79 year old woman. You
are managing the BVM and begin ventilating and preoxygenating the patient at what
rate? - ANSWER>>12-20 breaths a minute for 1-2 minutes
A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) will usually stop after: - ANSWER>>10-15 minutes
symptoms persist longer than 15 minutes = treat as Cerebrovascular Accident (stroke).
The final diagnosis of TIA is made if the symptoms resolve within 24 hours.
You arrive on scene with your partner to a call of "man down". You pull into the
driveway of the house in a very exclusive part of town. In the driveway a man is lying
face up with his eyes closed. After making sure the scene is safe, what actions will help

pulse with your hand while you put your ear near his mouth and look down at the
sternum for chest rise
You are assessing an 84 year old man. Upon auscultation of the lungs you discover
crackles or rale sounds. He is complaining of chest pain and congestion. These signs
and symptoms can indicate? - ANSWER>>Left ventricular failure
