#277: - ANSWER✔✔
#278: Common complaints in a patient with an infectious disease include:
A) nausea, rash, fever, and shortness of breath.
B) headache, low back pain, and arm numbness.
C) chest discomfort, weakness, and vomiting.
D) joint pain, muscle aches, and blurred vision. - ANSWER✔✔A) nausea, rash,
fever, and shortness of breath.
Nausea is common with a number of infectious diseases, such as hepatitis. A rash
should alert you to the possibility of sepsis, such as what could be caused by
meningitis. Petechiae are tiny, circular, non-raised patches that appear on the skin
or in a mucous membrane; they occur as the result of bleeding under the skin. A
petechial rash may be present in a patient who is septic from a number of causes.
Fever indicates inflammation or infection; in the context of other symptoms (ie,
rash, nausea), you should be suspicious of an infectious disease. Shortness of
breath can occur in patients with diseases such as tuberculosis or severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes
coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Arm numbness, chest discomfort, and
blurred vision are not common symptoms of an infectious disease.
#279: - ANSWER✔✔
#280: Law enforcement requests your assistance to evaluate a young woman whom
they believe has overdosed. The patient is conscious, is displaying bizarre
behavior, and is very restless. Her BP is 170/90 mm Hg and her heart rate is 130
,beats/min. You see needle tracks on both of her arms. Which of the following
would MOST likely explain her presentation?
A) An opioid
B) Methamphetamine
C) A sedative-hypnotic
D) A benzodiazepine - ANSWER✔✔A?
#281: You are transporting a 35-year-old man who has a history of alcoholism. He
stopped drinking 4 days ago and is now disoriented, diaphoretic, and tachycardic.
This patient is at risk for:
A) seizures.
B) hypothermia.
C) hyperglycemia.
D) schizophrenia. - ANSWER✔✔A) seizures.
A patient in alcohol withdrawal may experience frightening hallucinations or
delirium tremens (DTs), a syndrome characterized by restlessness, fever,
disorientation, sweating, and agitation. In severe cases, generalized seizures can
occur; these seizures can be prolonged and can result in permanent brain injury or
death. About 1 to 7 days after a person stops drinking or when alcohol
consumption levels are suddenly decreased, DTs may develop. Patients with DTs
are often dehydrated due to sweating, fluid loss, insufficient fluid intake, or
vomiting, and their hallucinations can be extremely frightening. The alcoholic
patient would more likely be hypoglycemic. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness;
it is not caused by alcohol use or withdrawal.
#282: Which of the following is a later sign of hepatitis?
A) Fatigue
B) Jaundice
, C) Loss of appetite
D) Fever and vomiting - ANSWER✔✔B) Jaundice
Early signs and symptoms of viral hepatitis include loss of appetite (anorexia),
vomiting, fever, fatigue, and muscle and joint pain. Jaundice (yellow sclera and
skin) and right upper quadrant abdominal pain are not common early
manifestations of hepatitis; they usually develop within 1 to 2 weeks into the
disease process.
#283: The two MOST important steps in treating a patient with a contact poisoning
are:
A) determining when the exposure occurred and irrigating the patient's entire body
with copious amounts of water.
B) donning a pair of gloves and performing a physical examination to determine if
a significant exposure occurred.
C) immediately washing any dry chemicals off of the patient's skin and removing
his or her clothing as soon as possible.
D) avoiding self-contamination and removing the irritating or corrosive substance
from the patient as rapidly as possible. - ANSWER✔✔D) avoiding self-
contamination and removing the irritating or corrosive substance from the patient
as rapidly as possible.
When caring for a patient with a contact (skin surface) exposure to a poison, the
two most important steps in management are avoiding contaminating yourself and
removing the substance from the patient's skin as rapidly as possible. The level of
personal protective equipment (PPE) you use depends on the type of chemical the
patient was exposed to. After ensuring your own safety, remove all of the patient's
clothing that has been contaminated, thoroughly brush off any dry chemicals, and
then flush the skin with water. Always brush dry chemicals off the skin before
irrigating with water; failing to do so may increase the amount of damage caused
