Which of the following is a common side effect of nitroglycerin? - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > Because nitroglycerin (NTG) causes vasodilation,
including the vessels within the brain, cerebral blood flow increases
following its administration. This often causes a pounding headache
for the patient. As uncomfortable as it is for the patient, headaches
are a common and expected side effect of the drug. The vasodilatory
effects of nitroglycerin could result in hypotension; therefore, the
patient's blood pressure should be carefully monitored. Nausea and
anxiety are common symptoms of acute coronary syndrome; they are
not common side effects of nitroglycerin.
According to the USDOT, minimum staffing for BLS ambulance includes:
- ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > At least one EMT in the patient
compartment. The driver does not need to be an EMT
,Which of the following statements regarding heatstroke is correct? -
✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Heatsrtoke occurs when the body is exposed
to more heat than it can eliminate and normal mechanisms such as
sweating are overwhelmed. The temp can rise to appoint where
tissues are destroyed. It can develop during prolonged vigorous
physical activity or in closed, poorly ventilated, hot and humid space.
High humidity impairs heat elimination via sweating. Patients will
have hot, dry, flushed skin, become agitated, and LOC will decrease
A 22-year-old man had a strong acid chemical splashed into both of his
eyes. He is conscious and alert, is experiencing intense pain, and states
that he is wearing contact lenses. Treatment should include: - ✔✔✔
Correct Answer > As a general rule, contact lenses should be left in
place. Chemical eye burns are an exception to this rule. If left in place,
the chemical could get behind the contact lens and continue to cause
injury. Therefore, you should remove the contact lenses and
immediately irrigate the eyes with sterile saline or water. If needed,
continue to irrigate the eyes throughout transport.
A 42-year-old male presents with fever, a severe headache, and a stiff
neck. He is conscious, but confused. His wife tells you that he does not
,have any medical problems and does not take any medications. You
should be MOST suspicious for: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > Meningitis is
an inflammation of the protective coverings of the brain and spinal
cord (meninges). Common signs and symptoms of meningitis include
fever, headache, neck stiffness (nuchal rigidity), and vomiting. An
altered mental status is common in severe cases. Meningococcal
meningitis, caused by a bacterium, is the most contagious and
potentially fatal type of meningitis. The patient's signs and symptoms
are not consistent with acute stroke, tuberculosis (TB), or influenza
(the flu). Although fever is common with both TB and the flu, neither
causes neck stiffness. Acute stroke may be associated with a
headache, especially a hemorrhagic stroke; however, stroke patients
typically do not have a fever.
A 22-year-old male has a shard of glass impaled in his cheek. You look
inside his mouth and see minor bleeding. The patient is conscious and
alert with adequate breathing. You should: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > It
remains true that you should remove an impaled object if it
compromises the airway or impedes your ability to manage the
airway. However, neither is the case with this patient because he has
an adequate airway. He is conscious and alert and has only minor
, bleeding in his mouth. The safest approach, and most practical given
the situation, would be to carefully stabilize the shard of glass in
place; consider wrapping the exposed glass with gauze to protect
yourself from getting cut. Since the patient is conscious and alert and
has only minor oral bleeding, it would not be unreasonable to hand
him the suction catheter and allow him to use it as needed. Be sure to
instruct the patient to use the suction and not to swallow any blood.
Keep in mind that if you attempt to remove the shard of glass, you
risk cutting yourself and causing further injury to the patient.
When an error occurs while using the AED, it is MOST often the result
of: - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > AEDs are highly sensitive and specific in
recognizing shockable rhythms (eg, V-Fib, pulseless V-Tach); this
means that they are highly reliable. It would be extremely rare for the
AED to recommend a shock when one is not indicated or fail to
recommend a shock when one is indicated. When an error does occur,
it is usually the operator's fault. The most common error is not having
a charged battery. To avoid this problem, many AEDs are equipped
with an alarm that warns the operator if the battery is not fully
charged. Some of the older AEDs, however, are not equipped with this
feature. Therefore, it is important to check the AED daily, exercise the
