True
False
Physical Therapy Assistants provide rehabilitative exercises under supervision of physical therapists.
True

Select two advantages of using an EHR over traditional paper records.
EHRs improve accessibility and reduce the risk of lost records.
EHRs are more likely to be misplaced than paper records.
EHRs require more physical storage space than paper records.
EHRs make it harder to share information between providers.
Accurate measurement of respiration rate is important in a clinical setting because:
it helps detect changes in a patient's condition early.
it is only needed for research purposes.
it is not relevant to patient care.
it is mainly used for billing purposes.
The “ABCs” in CPR refer to which of the following, and why are they critical?
Airway, Breathing, Circulation; they are critical for maintaining life during cardiac arrest.
Arteries, Bones, Cartilage; they are critical for body structure.
Adrenaline, Blood, Compression; they are critical for energy and movement.
Alveoli, Bronchi, Capillaries; they are critical for oxygen exchange.
25. Select two responsibilities of a Health Unit Coordinator.
Scheduling patient appointments and maintaining medical records
Performing surgical procedures and diagnosing illnesses
Administering anesthesia and prescribing medication
Conducting physical therapy sessions and interpreting lab results
One key difference between a nursing assistant and a patient care technician is:
Patient care technicians can perform additional clinical tasks such as drawing blood.
Nursing assistants can prescribe medication.
Patient care technicians require no formal training.
Nursing assistants work only in hospitals.
27. An EMT would likely administer oxygen at the scene in which of the following scenarios?
A patient is experiencing difficulty breathing.
A patient has a minor cut on the finger.
A patient is complaining of mild headache only.
A patient has a sprained ankle with no other symptoms.
One safety consideration when taking a patient’s blood pressure is:
Ensuring the cuff is the correct size for the patient
Taking the measurement over clothing
Using a broken blood pressure cuff
Ignoring the patient’s comfort during the procedure
29. Height and weight are important to record prior to administering medication because:
They help determine the correct dosage of medication.
They are needed for patient identification only.
They are used to decide the time of medication administration.
They are required for insurance purposes.
One way working as a pharmacy technician supports patient safety is:
Ensuring accurate medication dispensing
Recommending over-the-counter products without supervision
Diagnosing patient illnesses
Prescribing medications to patients
Advances in diagnostic technology, such as EHRs and imaging tools, have improved patient care and outcomes by:
Enabling faster and more accurate diagnoses
Increasing paperwork and administrative burden
Reducing access to patient information
Limiting the use of digital records in healthcare

check the pad placement on the person's chest
reset the AED by turning it off for 10 seconds
resume CPR until the AED reanalyzes or you find an obvious sign of life
unplug the connector from the machine
A 9-year-old child has suddenly collapsed. After confirming that the scene is safe, a single rescuer
determines that the child is in cardiac arrest, shouts for nearby help, and activates the emergency response
system by using his mobile device. He immediately begins performing high-quality CPR. Two additional
rescuers immediately arrive to assist in the resuscitation attempt. What actions should occur next to support a team-based resuscitation attempt?
Two rescuers should operate the AED while the third rescuer gives breaths.
One rescuer should give CPR while the other 2 wait for advanced life support to arrive.
Two rescuers should alternate giving high-quality chest compressions.
Two rescuers should alternate using the AED and giving breaths.
