- Ecervical spine, chest and abdomen
10In a normal adult, the control of respiration by chemoreceptors in the brain is determined by sensing which of the following chemicals?
- ACarbon monoxide (CO)
- BCarbon dioxide (CO2)
- COxygen (O2)
- DNitrogen (N)
- EConcentration of the chemicals have no influence
11In a two-rescuer CPR situation the person delivering ventilations should be positioned:
- AOn the patients right side
- BOn the patients left side
- CBehind the first rescuer
- DBy the patient's feet
- EAt the patient's head
12In case of airway management be careful of:
- Asuspected nasal trauma
- Bsuspected cervical spine injury, ensuring neck immobilization during airway opening maneuvers
- Csuspected trauma to the lumbar and thoracic spine, ensuring the patient's immobilization during airway opening maneuvers
- Dfracture of the femur
- Esternum fracture
13In managing the head-injured patient, the most important initial step is to:
- Asecure the airway
- Bimmobilize the neck
- Csupport the circulation
- Ddetermine the Glasgow Coma Scale Score
- Esupport the breathing
14In newborn pulse is determined at:
- Acarotid artery
- Bbrachial artery
- Cfemoral artery
- Dtemporal artery
- Ejugular vein
15In resuscitation of the newborn baby:
- AAPGAR score direct progress
- Bheart rate is the best predictor of outcome
- Cbag-valve mask is better than T-piece and mask
- Dall babies with meconium should have tracheal suction
- Eskin color is the best predictor of outcome
16In the management of anaphylaxis:
- Athe α-agonist actions of adrenaline reverse peripheral vasodilation
- Bthe β-agonist actions of adrenaline suppress histamine release
- Cthe adult dose of adrenaline is 0.5 mg IM
- Dthe adrenaline dose for children 6-12 years is 0.3 mg IM
- Eadrenaline IM should be administered at 15 min intervals until an improvement is seen
17In the management of anaphylaxis:
- Arelatively large volumes of IV fluid may be required
- Bif a patient is receiving IV colloid at the time of onset of anaphylaxis, it may be a cause of the anaphylaxis and should be stopped
- Csteroids may lessen the severity of anaphylaxis
- Dglucagon is not useful to treat anaphylaxis in a patient taking a β-blocker
- Ethe initial blood sample for mast cell tryptase (to help to confirm a diagnosis of anaphylaxis) should be taken as soon as possible after the onset of anaphylaxis
18In which location do most out-of-hospital cardiac arrest occur?
- Ahealthcare clinics
- Bhomes
- Crecreation facilities
- Dshopping centers
- Esecreation facilities and shopping centers
19In which of the following situation would an epinephrine IV bolus be indicated?
- Ajunctional rhythm, pVT, and asystole
- Bsinus bradycardia, junctional rhythm, and a ventricular escape rhythm
- CPEA, pVT, and asystole
- DPEA, VF, and a ventricular escape rhythm
- Esinus bradycardia, VF, and a ventricular escape rhythm
20Indications for using the chest compression device (Autopulse) include:
- Aduring transportation to hospital
- BCPR in narrow spaces
- Cduring transportation on the stretcher
- Dprolonged CPR
- ECPR in hospital
21Infant CPR:

- BPress in the middle portion of sternum using two fingers
- CCompression-to-ventilation ratio is 30 : 5

- ECheck for circulation by feeling the carotid pulse
22Intraosseous access:
- Ashould be used when administration of endotracheal drugs is ineffective
- Bis suitable for all crystalloids, colloids and IV drugs
- Cshould be replaced by IV access as soon as is practical
- Dis contraindicated if the limb in which access is being considered is fractured
- Eallows aspiration of bone marrow to estimate haemoglobin, but not plasma electrolytes
23Ischemic pain in angina pectoris is caused by:
- Arupture of the atheroma plate
- Bstimulating the nerve endings of lactic acid in the area of ischemia
- Cstimulation of nerve endings by carbon dioxide in the area of ischemia
- Dby the thrombus that obstructs the coronary vessel
- Eby endothelial dysfunction
24It is acceptable to just perform chest compressions only if you are unable or not trained to deliver rescue breaths. Is this statement true or false?
- ATrue
- BTrue, only if you are alone
- CFalse
- DTrue, only if nobody knows about
- ETrue, only if know for sure victime has TBC
25It is important to bandage both eyes of a patient with an object impaled in his or her eye because:
- AIt will decrease light influence on eyes
- BThis will reduce the amount of pressure in the eyeball
- CBoth eyes move together and can result in further injury
- DIt will provide the greatest amount of pain relief
- EThe patient's eyes normally move in the opposite directions
26Laying a shock patient flat and elevating his or her legs will cause:
- AExcess carbon dioxide removal
- BA decreased risk of vomiting and subsequent aspiration
- CImprovement if the patient also has a severe head injury
- DThe patient to breathe easier if respiratory distress is present
- EBlood to drain from the legs into the circulatory system
27Lower airways advanced management can be ensured by:
- Aairway opening maneuvers

- Dendotracheal intubation
- Esurgical conicostomy
28Methods of desobstuction lower airway are, except:
- Aendotracheal intubation
- Bconicostomy
- Ctraheotomy
- Daspiration of the tracheobronchial content with a vacuum cleaner
- Eoropharyngeal, nasopharyngeal intubation
29Metoprolol oral dose administered in Acute Coronary Syndrome is:
- A20 mg repeatedly by titration until the expected effect
- B50 mg repeatedly by titration until the expected effect
- C200-300 mg repeatedly by titration until the expected effect
- D400-500 mg repeatedly by titration until the expected effect
