OPS FISDAP STUDY GUIDE
Agencies responsible for certification - ANS-DOT, National Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSA),
NREMT, state
Assess patient pain level when a language barrier is present - ANS-
Commonly prescribed diabetic medications - ANS-Metformin, Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides
Define Class 1 in relation to medical research - ANS-Evidence is the strongest evidence
regarding a treatment. derived from prospective, controlled, randomized, and double blind
studies
Define Class 2 in relation to medical research - ANS-Evidence comes from literature reviews,
nonrandomized or unblinded study, retrospective studies, case control studies and cohort
studies
Define class 3 in relation to medical research - ANS-Evidence is derived from case studies,
case reports, consensus documents, textbook and medical opinions
Department of Transportation (DOT) and Emergency Response Guide (ERG) -
ANS--Department of transportation= Cabinet level agency to the federal government
responsible for maintaining and developing the nations transportation services. Est. 10/15/66
-PHMSA's 2020 Emergency Response Guidebook provides first responders with a go-to manual
to help deal with hazmat transportation accidents during the critical first 30 minutes Quick
reference response guide for first responders to use at Haz mat emergencies. Placard info is
found in this.
Differentiate between types of protocols - ANS-
Differentiate between types of radio systems - ANS--simplex radio system- most common allows
one at a time communication.
-duplex radio system- allows transmitting and receiving at the same time through two different
agencies.
-half duplex radio system- system used with repeaters. Two frequencies were used one to
receive and one to transmit. but only one person can transmit at a time
-multiplex radio system- allows transmitting of voice and data at the same time, allows ems to
send strips to the hospital
-telematic radio system- system placed in cars that automatically detect when a vehicle has
been in an accident an contacts the nearest dispatch.
Drive an ambulance safely - ANS-Park uphill + upwind
Elements of Incident Command System (ICS) - ANS-ultimately responsible for managing the
event. creates action plan. ICS establishes five functional areas for management of major
incidents: command, operations, planning, logistics, and finance/administration
Evaluation criteria for rapid extrication - ANS--the process of manually stabilizing and moving a
patient from a sitting position onto an immobilization device without the use of a short backboard
or vest type device.
-Patient has a life threatening problem, the scene is not safe for crew or patient, Patient must be
moved quickly to access another patient
