- A 30-year-old overdose patient is unresponsive, snoring, RR 6, SpO2 80% on room air, HR 52, BP 96/60. You insert an oropharyngeal airway and begin BVM ventilation. You then place a supraglottic airway and achieve good chest rise. Which assessment finding indicates successful placement of the supraglottic airway?
- When establishing an IV for a patient with anaphylactic hypotension, an isotonic crystalloid solution such as 0.9% normal saline is used. What is the primary reason for choosing this specific type of fluid for resuscitation?
- What is the most appropriate action regarding aspirin administration for this patient?
- These findings are most consistent with which type of shock?
- What is the most likely cause of this patient's deterioration?
- Which intervention is the highest priority for this infant?
- Despite the seemingly minor mechanism, what should be the AEMT's greatest concern during the primary survey?
- This patient's gastrointestinal symptoms are most likely related to which chronic complication of diabetes?
- While acquiring a 12-lead ECG on a patient with chest pain, you observe that the QRS complexes in Lead I are almost flat (isoelectric) and the P-wave is inverted. The tracing is otherwise clear of artifact. This specific finding is most likely caused by which error in lead placement?
- When driving an ambulance at night, what is the primary reason for dimming the lights in the patient compartment as much as is practical?
- What is the most appropriate course of action regarding the tourniquet?
- Based on these findings, what is the most appropriate description of the patient's cardiac status?
- What is the most appropriate way to manage the impaled object?
- A 28-year-old female presents with non-traumatic vaginal bleeding, having saturated six pads in the last three hours. She feels lightheaded and weak. Assessment reveals pale, cool skin, a heart rate of 118 bpm, and a blood pressure of 102/68 mmHg. Which finding would most strongly indicate the need for IV fluid resuscitation?
- What is the most appropriate next step to improve ventilations?
- When assessing a patient with acute abdominal pain, which of the following findings would be the most compelling reason to categorize the patient as a high priority for transport?
- How should your suspicion of child abuse be documented in the patient care report?
- According to current ACLS guidelines, which medication should be administered next?
- You respond to a 55-year-old diabetic male who is confused and combative, with a blood glucose level of 42 mg/dL. He verbally refuses all care. After administering oral glucose, his blood glucose rises to 110 mg/dL, and he is now alert and oriented to person, place, time, and event. He again refuses transport. What is the most legally defensible action?
- A 34-year-old female complains of sudden, excruciating, unilateral lower abdominal pain that began while she was exercising. She has vomited twice. Her abdomen is tender to palpation in the right lower quadrant, but soft. Vitals are BP 130/80 mmHg, P 100 bpm, R 20/min. She is writhing in pain. Which course of action is most appropriate?
