EMR Final Exam Review ( Part 2)

A patient position in which an EMR would elevate the feet of a supine patient 6-12 inches that does not have a suspected injury is known as

• Fowler's position

• log roll

• semi-Fowler's position

• shock position

An important thing to remember when lifting and moving a patient is to

• move as quickly as possible

• use your body to facilitate moving a patient to reduce injuries

• carry the patient using your upper body only

• keep the weight away from your body

you arrive on scene to find a 57-year-old man who is not breathing. You feel for a carotid pulse but are not sure if you feel one. You should:

• ask another responder to confirm pulselessness.

• try feeling for a radial pulse instead.

• give rescue breaths

• begin chest compressions.

During basic adult two-rescuer CPR, you and your partner should perform a ratio of ___________ compressions to_________breaths.

• 5/1

• 15/1

• 30/2

• 15/2

During adult CPR, compressions should be delivered at a rate of:

• 60-100 compressions/min

• 100-120 compressions/min

• 80-100 compressions/min

• 120-150 compressions/min

While doing chest compressions on an adult, you should depress the sternum:

• 1 to 2 inches

• 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches

• at least 2 inches

• 1/3 to 1/2 inch

You have placed the AED on the patient and turned it on. The AED delievers a message that it is analyzing the heart rhythm. You should next:

• ensure that no one is touching the patient.

• deliver two rescue breaths.

• start CPR.

• quickly check a carotid pulse

A man has collapsed at a restaurant and is unresponsive. Before you assist the patient, you must:

• ask if the patient is okay

• check for a pulse

• ensure that the scene is safe.

• start CPR.

During two-rescuer CPR on an infant, the ratio of chest compressions to ventilations is:

• 15:2

• 5:1

• 30:2

• 15:1

What do you do with an infant who is responsive and choking?

• Heimlich maneuver

• Blind finger sweep

• 5 back slaps and 5 chest thrusts

• Start CPR
