EMERGENCY MEDICAL INTERVENTIONS ACTUAL EXAM 2025 |156 QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED CORRECT ANSWERS
1. Explain the significance of identifying a third-degree AV block in a
patient with a history of myocardial infarction. What implications does
this have for patient management?
It indicates a need for immediate defibrillation.
It suggests the need for pacing due to the risk of bradycardia.
It requires the administration of anticoagulants.
It shows that the patient is stable and requires no intervention.
2. The patient is in the hospital and is experiencing tachycardia. which
of the following is a contributing factor?
the patient has anxiety
the patient is an athlete
pain medication was given 1hr
ago the patient has a temp of
98.2
3. You are called to the ED to assess an 81-year-old patient and, upon
entering the room, the patient appears unresponsive. You evaluate
the patient's breathing, place her on oxygen, and then assess her
pulse. Her respirations are shallow and irregular, and her heart rate is
33 bpm and weak. The medical resident arrives and asks for further
,recommendations for the care of the patient. You suggest:
The administration of atropine
The administration of epinephrine
The administration of albuterol and
theophylline The administration of insulin
,4. A 77-year-old female presents with a narrow complex,
irregular tachycardia at 190. She has an altered level of
consciousness and
complains of chest pain. Her vitals are pulse 190, respiration 28, and
blood pressure 72/40. The most appropriate immediate treatment for
this patient would be:
attempt a vagal maneuver.
administer metoprolol 5 mg IVP over 5
minutes. apply the transcutaneous
pacemaker.
administer a synchronized cardioversion at 120 J.
5. Explain why the development of pneumothorax during BVM
ventilation indicates a potential issue with the technique being
used.
It suggests that the patient is not receiving enough oxygen.
It indicates that air is entering the pleural space due to excessive
pressure.
It means that the BVM is malfunctioning and needs to be
replaced.
It shows that the patient is experiencing a normal physiological
response.
6. What is the primary purpose of performing left uterine displacement
(LUD) in a pregnant patient during cardiac arrest?
To increase blood flow to the fetus
, To relieve pressure on the inferior vena cava
To facilitate easier access to the
uterus To improve maternal
oxygenation
7. During a cardiopulmonary arrest, you note that the patient is being
forcefully ventilated by the RT using a bag-valve mask device. You
know the patient is at risk for:
Alveolar collapse
