NREMT EMTEMERGENCY MEDICAL RESPONSE ACTUAL EXAM
2025|QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What does an end tidal CO2 monitor measure in relation to lung
function?
CO2 coming OUT of the lungs
Oxygen levels in the
blood Heart rate
variability
Blood pressure fluctuations
2. In a scenario where a patient is experiencing difficulty breathing, which
position would be most appropriate to facilitate their breathing?
Fowlers
Supine
Prone
Trendelenberg
3. What terms are used to describe the number of pregnancies and the
number of live births?
Gravida/para
Fetus/neonate
Pregnancy/live birth
Gestation/viability
4. Your patient has severe hypoxemia according to the blood gas analysis,
but cyanosis is not seen. What may explain this?
Hypotension
Anemia
, Leukocytosis
Fever
5. What is the primary consequence of tachycardia in patients with cardiac
compromise?
Increased oxygen demand
Decreased heart rate
Improved cardiac output
Reduced blood pressure
6. Define the term 'drug':
A substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation,
treatment, or prevention of disease.
Something and often an illegal substance that causes addiction,
habituation, or a marked change in consciousness.
A chemical substance that, when taken into the body, alters the
structure or functioning of the body in some way, excluding those
nutrients considered to be related to normal functioning.
All of the above.
7. Describe the physiological impact of insufficient insulin on blood
glucose levels.
Insufficient insulin leads to elevated blood glucose levels,
resulting in hyperglycemia.
Insufficient insulin causes a decrease in blood glucose levels,
leading to hypoglycemia.
Insufficient insulin has no effect on blood glucose
levels. Insufficient insulin results in normal blood glucose
levels.
,8. Which of the following is the correct management of a sucking chest
wound?
Apply a three-sided occlusive dressing.
Apply a bulky dressing.
Apply a sterile gauze pad.
Apply an occlusive dressing secured on all sides.
9. In a scenario where a patient is not breathing adequately, how would the
end tidal CO2 monitor assist in evaluating the effectiveness of
resuscitation efforts?
By indicating whether CO2 is being expelled, showing if
ventilation is effective.
By measuring the patient's heart rate during resuscitation.
By providing a direct measurement of blood pressure.
By assessing the patient's level of consciousness.
10. A drug is defined as
Any chemical sold in a Pharmacy
Any chemical substance used in the diagnosis and/or treatment
of disease
Any chemical substance used in humans for therapeutic purposes
Any synthetic chemical substance used in the diagnosis and
treatment of disease
None of the answers are correct
11. Describe the significance of the oxygen capacity in an E cylinder
for emergency medical responders.
The oxygen capacity of 625 liters in an E cylinder is crucial for
providing adequate oxygen supply during emergencies.
, E cylinders are primarily used for transporting patients.
The oxygen in an E cylinder is only used for non-emergency
situations.
E cylinders contain a mixture of gases, not just oxygen.
12. Preschool Age Child (3-6yo) Systolic BP
Range 60-90/palp
90-140/palp
100-120/palp
80-100/palp
13. Describe the purpose of the Mark 1 kits in emergency medical situations
involving nerve agents.
The Mark 1 kits are used to counteract the effects of
nerve agents by administering atropine and 2-PAM
chloride to restore normal physiological function.
The Mark 1 kits are designed to provide pain relief during
emergencies.
The Mark 1 kits are used to treat allergic reactions.
The Mark 1 kits are for managing cardiac arrest.
14. What is the effect of the sympathetic nervous system on the heart?
Increased HR & stroke volume
Decreased HR & stroke
volume No effect on heart
rate
Increased blood pressure only
