EMT Final Exam JBL Exam Questions

and Answers 100% Solved


According to the USDOT, minimum staffing for BLS ambulance includes: -

✔✔At least one EMT in the patient compartment. The driver does not need

to be an EMT

Which of the following statements regarding heatstroke is correct? -

✔✔Heatsrtoke occurs when the body is exposed to more heat than it can

eliminate and normal mechanisms such as sweating are overwhelmed. The

temp can rise to appoint where tissues are destroyed. It can develop during

prolonged vigorous physical activity or in closed, poorly ventilated, hot and

humid space. High humidity impairs heat elimination via sweating. Patients

will have hot, dry, flushed skin, become agitated, and LOC will decrease

If a vehicle strikes a tree at 60 mph, the unrestrained driver would likely

experience the MOST severe injuries during the: - ✔✔Motor-vehicle

crashes typically consist of three separate collisions. Understanding the

events that occur during each collision will help you remain alert for certain

types of injury patterns. During the first collision, the vehicle strikes another

object. Damage to the car is perhaps the most dramatic part of the

collision, but it does not directly affect patient care. It does, however,

provide information about the severity of the collision; thus, it has an

indirect effect on patient care. During the second collision, the passenger

collides with the interior of the vehicle. Just like the obvious damage to the

exterior of the car, the injuries that result are often dramatic and usually

apparent during your primary assessment. During the third collision, the

occupant's internal organs collide with the solid structures of the body.

Although the injuries that occur during the third collision may not be as

obvious as those that occur during the second collision, they are often the

most life-threatening.

A 22-year-old man had a strong acid chemical splashed into both of his

eyes. He is conscious and alert, is experiencing intense pain, and states

that he is wearing contact lenses. Treatment should include: - ✔✔As a

general rule, contact lenses should be left in place. Chemical eye burns are

an exception to this rule. If left in place, the chemical could get behind the

contact lens and continue to cause injury. Therefore, you should remove

the contact lenses and immediately irrigate the eyes with sterile saline or

water. If needed, continue to irrigate the eyes throughout transport.

A 22-year-old male has a shard of glass impaled in his cheek. You look

inside his mouth and see minor bleeding. The patient is conscious and alert

with adequate breathing. You should: - ✔✔It remains true that you should

remove an impaled object if it compromises the airway or impedes your

ability to manage the airway. However, neither is the case with this patient

because he has an adequate airway. He is conscious and alert and has

only minor bleeding in his mouth. The safest approach, and most practical

given the situation, would be to carefully stabilize the shard of glass in

place; consider wrapping the exposed glass with gauze to protect yourself

from getting cut. Since the patient is conscious and alert and has only

minor oral bleeding, it would not be unreasonable to hand him the suction

catheter and allow him to use it as needed. Be sure to instruct the patient to

use the suction and not to swallow any blood. Keep in mind that if you

attempt to remove the shard of glass, you risk cutting yourself and causing

further injury to the patient.

When an error occurs while using the AED, it is MOST often the result of: -

✔✔AEDs are highly sensitive and specific in recognizing shockable

rhythms (eg, V-Fib, pulseless V-Tach); this means that they are highly

reliable. It would be extremely rare for the AED to recommend a shock

when one is not indicated or fail to recommend a shock when one is

indicated. When an error does occur, it is usually the operator's fault. The

most common error is not having a charged battery. To avoid this problem,

many AEDs are equipped with an alarm that warns the operator if the

battery is not fully charged. Some of the older AEDs, however, are not

equipped with this feature. Therefore, it is important to check the AED daily,

exercise the battery as often as the manufacturer recommends, and always

have a spare, fully charged battery on hand.

Prior to your arrival, a woman experiencing an asthma attack took two puffs

from her prescribed inhaler without relief. After administering supplemental

oxygen, you should: - ✔✔Before assisting a patient with any medication

other than oxygen, the EMT must ensure that the medication is prescribed

to the patient and then obtain authorization from medical control. In this

case, the physician probably will allow you to help the patient take one

more puff from her inhaler. Generally, up to three puffs from an inhaler are

delivered in the field. It is important for you to ask the patient how many

puffs were taken from the inhaler before you arrived. The EMT must correct

any airway and/or breathing problems as quickly as possible. After doing

so, a secondary assessment can be performed.

Upon discovering an open chest wound, you should: - ✔✔Upon discovering

an open chest wound (ie, sucking chest wound), you must take immediate
