NREMT Cognitive Exam Assessment Test Latest Update Graded A+ In which of the following situations would you most likely encounter agonal gasps? A) ANY PT. WHO IS UNRESPONSIVE DUE TO HYPOXIA b) occlusion of the posterior pharynx by the tongue c) shortly after the pt. becomes unresponsive & pulseless d) significant hypoxemia, regardless of the cause c) After an adult cardiac arrest patient has been intubated by a paramedic, you are providing ventilations as your partner performs chest compressions. When ventilating the patient, you should A. deliver 2 breaths during a brief pause in chest compressions. B. deliver each breath over 1 second at a rate of 10 breaths/min C. hyperventilate the patient to maximize carbon dioxide elimination. D. deliver each breath over 2 seconds at a rate of 15 breaths/min. B) deliver each breath over 1 second at a rate of 10 breaths/min. During your assessment of a trauma patient, you note massive facial injuries, weak radial pulses, and clammy skin. What should be your MOST immediate concern? a) potential obstruction of the airway b) internal bleeding and severe shock c) applying 100 % supplemental O2 d) providing rapid transport to a trauma center a Clinically, reduced tidal volume would MOST likely present with respirations that are: shallow A patient presents with ineffective breathing that has no identifiable pattern. What term is used to describe this type of breathing? Ataxic After an initial attempt to ventilate a patient fails, you reposition the patient's head and reattempt ventilation without success. You should next A. perform chest compressions, open the airway, and look into the mouth B. use a flow-restricted oxygen-powered ventilation device C. initiate airway obstruction removal techniques and provide transport D. continue to reposition the patient's head at the scene until you are able to secure a patent airway a An unresponsive 60-year-old male is apneic and has a weak, rapid pulse. His O2 saturation reads 79%. You should: a) deliver one breath over 1 second every 5 to 6 seconds b) use a pocket face mask to deliver 12 to 20 breaths / min c) hyperventilate him until his O2 saturation improves d) deliver a min. of 10 breaths/min, each over 1 sec. a You are ventilating an apneic adult with a BVM device and high-flow O2. Her pulse rate is 130 beats/min and she has cyanosis to her face & chest. Which of the following is the MOST reliable indicator of adequately performed ventilations in this patient? a) Slight dissipation of her cyanosis b) noted abdominal rise with each ventilation c) decreased
