Cards in this deck (21)
- 1Which of the following types of defibrillators will adjust the amount of energy used on the basis of impedance?Biphasic AED
- 2Typically, how many shocks should you administer on scene before transport, assuming that the shocks are ineffective?3
- 3Death to a portion of the heart muscle is known as:myocardial infarction
- 4An 80-year-old male is presenting with pedal edema, JVD, and dyspnea. You should suspect:congestive heart failure
- 5Which of the following would MOST likely differentiate pain associated with angina from pain associated with myocardial infarctionThe pain completely resolves with rest
- 6Which of the following skills is typically NOT used to manage the airway and breathing of a patient in cardiac arrest?Application of oxygen via nasal cannula
- 7To what adjunctive device does the Thumper CPR device attach?Long backboard
- 8If a shock is not indicated, how many cycles of CPR will you give before analyzing again?5
- 9The key difference between angina and a myocardial infarction is that:the pain of angina usually goes away with rest
- 10Which of the following is the MOST common site for an aneurysm leading to an emergency situation?Aorta
- 11After a shock by the AED, the patient has a return of spontaneous circulation. You should immediately:assess the patient's breathing.
- 12You are using the AutoPulse Resuscitation System. An advanced airway is in place. What is the correct compression rate?100
- 13This patient is high priority and should be loaded for transport immediately.The patient appears to have severe shortness of breath. Any problem identified in the primary assessment (airway, breathing, circulation, disability) warrants rapid transport.
- 14Ask the patient’s husband what medications she takes.The patient’s husband is a readily accessible source of information, assuming he can answer questions correctly. When a patient is experiencing respiratory distress, addressing history-related questions to the spouse or other relative is a good starting point.
- 15What associated symptoms would you want to assess?All except: Strength and equality assessment of the extremities.
Assessing for strength and equality assessment of the extremities may not be appropriate at this time. - 16Which vital signs should you assess in this particular patient?all except: blood glucose and mental status
- 17Heart failure with pulmonary edemaThe patient is experiencing heart failure with acute pulmonary edema, indicated by the shortness of breath, crackles and wheezes upon auscultation of the thorax, JVD, and pedal edema. The predisposing history of hypertension and a heart condition, along with the patient’s medications, help to confirm your suspicions.
- 18Given your impression, for what reasons could this patient be in heart failure?all except: excessive blood volume
- 19If you were unable to get the stretcher close to the patient, how would you move her to the stretcher?stair chair
- 20What method of oxygen delivery may further benefit this patient?apply cpap
- 21What benefit does CPAP provide for the patient with heart failure?Prevents atelectasis and reduces preload
