The effectiveness of pit crew CPR is dependent on: a) defining clear roles and responsibilities before the call is received. b) protocols that allow the EMT to function without medical control. c) a team leader who is capable of performing all of the patient care tasks. d) rapidly assessing the patient before assigning roles and responsibilities.

defining clear roles and responsibilities before the call is received.

protocols that allow the EMT to function without medical control.

a team leader who is capable of performing all of the patient care tasks.

rapidly assessing the patient before assigning roles and responsibilities.

Which of the following is an example of closed-loop communication?

The team leader assigns the EMT a task, and the EMT repeats the request back to the team leader.

The EMT requests permission from medical control to assist a patient with his prescribed nitroglycerin.

EMTs decide not to attempt resuscitation because the patient has rigor mortis and is cold to the touch.

The EMT corrects the team leader, who states that chest compressions should be greater than 3 inches deep.

A team of EMTs is caring for a critically injured patient. The team leader advises the EMT that transport will not begin until the patient’s closed forearm fracture is splinted. Utilizing the crew resource management model, the EMT should: a) repeat the request back to the team leader and then splint the patient’s arm. b) ensure that the entire team is aware that transport will be delayed for splinting. c) disregard the team leader’s request and contact medical control for guidance. d) advise the team leader that immediate transport is more important than splinting.

advise the team leader that immediate transport is more important than splinting

repeat the request back to the team leader and then splint the patient’s arm

ensure that the entire team is aware that transport will be delayed for splinting

disregard the team leader’s request and contact medical control for guidance

EMTs arrive at the scene of an ill person. The EMR, who arrived before the EMTs, advises that the patient had a syncopal episode. The patient is conscious and alert and remains so throughout transport. When transferring patient care to the emergency department nurse, the EMT should advise the nurse that:

the patient had a reported syncopal episode.

the patient is conscious and alert.

the patient’s condition is stable.

the patient requires immediate attention.

Which of the following would MOST likely facilitate an accurate and effective verbal handoff report at the hospital?

a) Brief pause in care to provide the verbal report.

b) Clearly identifying your EMS certification level.

d) Providing the handoff report only to a physician.

After assuming care of a cardiac arrest patient from an EMT, the paramedic should remember that: a) BLS efforts must continue throughout the patient care continuum. b) the BLS care provided by the EMT is the “first steps” of ALS care. c) ALS interventions are the core interventions around which BLS care is provided. d) ALS interventions are fundamentally more critical than BLS interventions.

BLS efforts must continue throughout the patient care continuum.

the BLS care provided by the EMT is the “first steps” of ALS care.

ALS interventions are the core interventions around which BLS care is provided.

ALS interventions are fundamentally more critical than BLS interventions.

Which of the following would the EMT MOST likely be asked to do when assisting a paramedic with endotracheal intubation?

Visualization of the vocal cords

Placement of the endotracheal tube

Suction under direct laryngoscopy

When assisting an ALS worker, a BLS worker who performs a skill outside his or her level of certification:

is striving for promotion to ALS.

needs incident command authorization.

If a problem with a team member is not directly or immediately impacting patient care, the team leader should:

discuss the problem after the call.

engage the team member at once.

contact the medical director at once.

ignore the problem to avoid conflict.

While caring for a patient, the EMT states to her partner, “Why even splint the patient’s leg if they’re only going to remove it in the ED?” This statement indicates that:

the EMT’s focus is not on the common goal.

the EMT does not trust the hospital staff.

the EMT is being realistic in her thinking.

the patient’s leg does not require splinting.

An effective team leader should:

help the team accomplish goals.
