MEDICAL EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS (Questions 1–18)
1. For an adult patient in moderate anaphylactic shock with BP 88/60, the initial
epinephrine route and dose per 2025 SNHD protocol is:
a) IM 0.15 mg (0.15 mL of 1:1,000)
b) IM 0.3 mg (0.3 mL of 1:1,000)
, c) IV 1 mg (1 mL of 1:1,000)
d) Sub-Q 0.5 mg
b) IM 0.3 mg (0.3 mL of 1:1,000) – Mid-thigh lateral, monitor ECG.
2. A 22-year-old female presents with sudden-onset dyspnea, SpO₂ 89 %, and clear lung
sounds after a 4-hour flight. The AEMT should suspect:
a) COPD exacerbation
b) Pulmonary embolism
c) Pneumothorax
d) Bronchitis
b) Pulmonary embolism – High index of suspicion; administer high-flow O₂,
transport priority 1.
3. Per 2025 SNHD, blood-glucose threshold below which hypoglycemia treatment must
be initiated in a diabetic adult is:
a) <90 mg/dL
b) <80 mg/dL
c) <70 mg/dL
d) <60 mg/dL
c) <70 mg/dL – Give 25 g dextrose 50 % IV/IO or 1 mg glucagon IM.
4. The maximum number of 0.4 mg nitroglycerin sprays permitted by protocol for chest
pain without relief is:
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
c) 3 sprays – Systolic BP must remain >100 mmHg; 5-min intervals.
5. A patient with active upper-GI bleeding and orthostatic vitals should receive fluid
resuscitation targeted to:
a) Systolic BP >140 mmHg
b) MAP >90 mmHg
c) Systolic BP 90–100 mmHg (permissive hypotension)
d) Return of normal radial pulse
c) Systolic BP 90–100 mmHg – Avoid disrupting clot; use 250 mL normal-saline
boluses.
6. First-line benzodiazepine for adult status-epilepticus per SNHD is:
a) Lorazepam 2 mg IM
b) Midazolam 10 mg IM
c) Diazepam 5 mg IV
d) Midazolam 5 mg IV/IO
d) Midazolam 5 mg IV/IO – May repeat once in 5 min; monitor respiratory status.
7. Maximum dose of albuterol 2.5 mg/3 mL unit-dose for adult asthma via nebulizer is:
a) 1 dose
b) 2 doses
c) 3 doses
d) No limit
c) 3 doses – Monitor heart rate; hold if >150 bpm.
8. A 55-year-old male with BP 220/120, headache, and no seizure indicates:
a) Hypertensive emergency
