You are called to the scene of a structure fire. Upon arrival you notice several people staggering down the block away from the fire with soot marks around their mouths. You should?
Tell them to stay where they are and wait until you come back
Call for additional ambulances and continue to assess the scene

You have just arrived on scene to a call of man down. A man is lying prone on the sidewalk outside of a bar and there are several bystanders who say they witnessed him just fall over forward. As you check his pulse and respirations you find that he is breathing shallow at about 8 per minute and his pulse is 112. What would be the proper choice of action?
Shake him to see if he wake up, take his blood pressure, and put a c-collar on him
While maintaining c-spine precautions log roll him to a supine position and open his airway
Do a rapid trauma assessment and then take his blood pressure
Ask the bystanders if he had been drinking and then log roll him onto a backboard
Use of an SpO2 monitor on a person suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning will be inaccurate because
The oxygen has stronger bonding properties than the CO2 molecule
CO2 is odorless and tasteless so the monitor cannot detect it
Carbon monoxide has a weaker bond with the hemoglobin
The carbon monoxide molecule displaces the oxygen molecule inhibiting oxygen delivery
A man has both legs burned on the front and back, along with the fronts of both arms. Approximately what percentage of his body was burned?

Your patient is a 41 year old female who was found lying prone in the kitchen. She does not appear to be conscious and there is a pool of saliva next to her head. You and your partner log roll her into a supine position while maintaining c-spine stabilization. Just as you get the woman rolled over her husband tells you that she has a previous history of heart attacks. What would be the most appropriate course of action to take next?
Have your partner get the AED, attach it to the patient, and analzye
Verify a palpable pulse, attach the AED, and prepare to analyze
Do a jaw thrust to open her airway
Give her a sternal rub to verify consciousness

What is the most likely cause of this woman's condition and how would you treat her?
Hypoperfusion, High flow O2, and transport in Fowler's position
Cardiac arrest, treat for shock, and rapid transport
Cardiogenic shock, assist ventilations, and transport
Septic shock, transport in a position of comfort with high flow O2 via NRB
A trauma patient cannot feel anything in his body from the nipple level down. The level of spinal cord injury is likely at?

You are assessing a patient with blunt chest trauma. You notice that the patient has diminished sounds over the left side of his chest. Which of the following would lead you to suspect hemothorax over pneumothorax?
