ANSWERS OBSTRUCTIVE BREATHING PATTERN, RESTRICTIVE
BREATHING PATTERN,PARENCHYMAL BREATHING PATTERN

transverse incision completely through the ____ ligament. Page 21 - CORRECT
ANSWERS 3rd and 4th or 4th and 5th tracheal cartilages
12. While placing an endotracheal tube in a Military Working Dog, you palpate
the dog's neck and feel 2 tubes. This indicates that the endotracheal tube is in
the dog's _____ . Page 23 - CORRECT ANSWERS esophagus
13. When performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a Military Working Dog
(MWD), begin sustained, forceful chest compressions with the MWD in lateral
recumbency (on either side) at a rate of ____ compressions per minute. Sustain
compression for at least 2-3 minutes per cycle. Page 36 - CORRECT
ANSWERS 100
14. T/F: If single-person cardiopulmonary resuscitation is performed on a
Military Working Dog, the responder should only perform ventilation, as this
optimizes circulation. Page 38 - CORRECT ANSWERS F
15. T/F: Conventional human tourniquets applied to the limb of a Military
Working Dog are an unreliable intervention to effectively control hemorrhage.
Page 42 - CORRECT ANSWERS T
,16. Calculate the approximate safe but effective crystalloid bolus volume for a
55 pound Military Working Dog experiencing signs and symptoms of shock.
Page 43 - CORRECT ANSWERS 550

used within what time period? - CORRECT ANSWERS 24 hours after

, 4. T/F: The most important safety consideration in transfusing whole blood is
that donor red blood cells be compatible with the recipient to avoid acute
hemolytic transfusion reactions. Page 2 - CORRECT ANSWERS T
5. How often SHOULD titer and transfusion transmitted disease retesting be
conducted? Page 2 - CORRECT ANSWERS at least annually if not prior
to each deployment.

(TRALI), the Armed Services Blood Program collects whole blood from
everyone EXCEPT: Page 2 - CORRECT ANSWERS never-pregnant
female donors, or from female donors testing negative for anti-HLA antibodies

what? Page 48. Storage lesion describes the degradation of the RBC involving
the loss of what? Page 4 - CORRECT ANSWERS membrane plasticity
