1. You have finished the scene size-up on a medical call. What comes next?
- A. A full set of baseline vital signs
- B. The primary assessment, checking responsiveness, airway, breathing and circulation
- C. A SAMPLE history from the patient
- D. A detailed head to toe physical exam
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. The primary assessment, checking responsiveness, airway, breathing and circulation
The primary assessment exists to find and treat immediate threats to life, so it comes before any history taking or detailed exam. Vital signs, SAMPLE history and the secondary assessment all belong to the next phase, and they wait until the airway, breathing and circulation problems you found have been managed.
2. Complete the sentence.
An oropharyngeal airway is the correct size when it measures from the corner of the patient's mouth to _____.
Opzioni per lo spazio 1: the tip of the nose, the angle of the jaw, the thyroid cartilage, the top of the shoulder
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: the angle of the jaw
An OPA is measured from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the jaw, or from the center of the mouth to the earlobe, which gives the same length. One that is too long can push the epiglottis over the opening of the trachea, and one that is too short just presses the tongue further back into the pharynx.
3. Which finding is a reason to avoid inserting a nasopharyngeal airway?
- A. The patient still has an intact gag reflex
- B. Clear fluid draining from the nose after a head injury
- C. The patient is snoring with each breath
- D. The patient is unresponsive but breathing on their own
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Clear fluid draining from the nose after a head injury
Clear fluid from the nose or ears after head trauma suggests a basilar skull fracture, and a nasal airway inserted through that fracture can enter the cranial vault, so severe head or midface trauma is a contraindication. An intact gag reflex is the opposite of a problem here: it rules out an OPA but is exactly why the NPA is chosen, since most patients tolerate it.
4. Complete the sentence.
When ventilating an adult who is not breathing but still has a pulse, deliver one breath every _____ seconds.
Opzioni per lo spazio 1: 2, 4, 6, 10
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: 6
One breath every 6 seconds works out to 10 breaths per minute, which is the current rate for rescue ventilation of an adult with a pulse. Each breath is given over about one second and only until the chest visibly rises, because faster or larger breaths push air into the stomach and raise the risk of vomiting.
5. The AED delivers a shock to an adult in cardiac arrest. What should you do immediately after the shock?
- A. Check for a carotid pulse for up to 10 seconds
- B. Resume chest compressions right away and continue for about two minutes
- C. Let the AED analyze the rhythm again
- D. Give two rescue breaths before touching the chest
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Resume chest compressions right away and continue for about two minutes
Compressions restart immediately after a shock, because a heart that has just been defibrillated rarely produces a pulse straight away and every pause lets coronary perfusion fall. You run about two minutes of CPR before letting the AED analyze again, and you pause for a rhythm or pulse check only when the device tells you to.
6. Which of these resting vital signs are within the normal range for the age given?
Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.
- A. An adult with a respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute
- B. A 6-month-old infant with a heart rate of 130 beats per minute
- C. A 5-year-old with a respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute
- D. An adult with a heart rate of 42 beats per minute
- E. A newborn with a respiratory rate of 10 breaths per minute
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: A. An adult with a respiratory rate of 16 breaths per minute, B. A 6-month-old infant with a heart rate of 130 beats per minute, C. A 5-year-old with a respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute
Normal resting ranges tighten and slow as a patient gets older: an infant runs roughly 100 to 160 beats per minute, a preschool child breathes about 20 to 28 times per minute, and a healthy adult sits at 60 to 100 beats and 12 to 20 breaths per minute. That is why an adult heart rate of 42 and a newborn respiratory rate of 10 are both red flags, since a newborn normally breathes around 30 to 60 times per minute.
7. Which of the following belong to correct splinting of a suspected forearm fracture?
Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.
- A. Check pulse, motor function and sensation before and after applying the splint
- B. Immobilize the joint above and the joint below the injury site
- C. Cover any open wound with a sterile dressing before the splint goes on
- D. Force the limb straight even if you meet resistance or the patient screams
- E. Loosen and lift the splint every few minutes to look at the deformity
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: A. Check pulse, motor function and sensation before and after applying the splint, B. Immobilize the joint above and the joint below the injury site, C. Cover any open wound with a sterile dressing before the splint goes on
A splint is only as good as the circulation it leaves behind, so distal pulse, motor function and sensation are documented before and after, and the splint must cross the joints on both sides of the break to stop movement. Forcing an angulated limb straight against resistance can drive bone ends into vessels or nerves, and repeatedly disturbing a finished splint just restarts the bleeding and the pain.
8. Bright red blood is spurting from a laceration on a patient's forearm. What should you do first?
- A. Apply a tourniquet above the elbow
- B. Apply firm direct pressure over the wound with a sterile dressing
- C. Elevate the arm above the level of the heart
- D. Apply a cold pack to slow the bleeding
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Apply firm direct pressure over the wound with a sterile dressing
Direct pressure controls the large majority of external bleeding and is always the first step, held firmly and without lifting the dressing to peek. If direct pressure fails to control life-threatening bleeding from a limb, move straight to a tourniquet placed a few inches above the wound and never over a joint, tighten it until the bleeding stops, and write down the time it went on.
9. The Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale checks which three findings?
Seleziona tutte le risposte corrette.
- A. Facial droop when the patient smiles or shows their teeth
- B. Arm drift when both arms are held out with the eyes closed
- C. Abnormal speech when the patient repeats a simple sentence
- D. A difference in pupil size between the two eyes
- E. Grip strength measured against your own hands
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: A. Facial droop when the patient smiles or shows their teeth, B. Arm drift when both arms are held out with the eyes closed, C. Abnormal speech when the patient repeats a simple sentence
The Cincinnati scale is deliberately short: facial droop, arm drift and abnormal speech, with any single abnormal finding making a stroke likely enough to act on. Pupils and grip are part of a broader neurologic exam but are not in this scale, and the number that matters most to the hospital is the time the patient was last known to be well.
10. A known diabetic is awake, confused and sweaty, and can follow simple commands and swallow. What is the appropriate EMT action?
- A. Give oral glucose and reassess the mental status
- B. Give nothing by mouth and wait for the hospital
- C. Give an epinephrine auto-injector
- D. Have the patient drink a large glass of water
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: A. Give oral glucose and reassess the mental status
Oral glucose is indicated for suspected hypoglycemia in a patient who is awake enough to swallow and protect their own airway, which this patient is. The moment a patient becomes too drowsy to swallow safely, nothing goes in the mouth, because the sugar gel will end up in the lungs instead of the stomach.
11. Where is an epinephrine auto-injector given to a patient in anaphylaxis?
- A. Into the upper outer arm
- B. Into the mid outer thigh
- C. Into the abdomen beside the navel
- D. Under the tongue
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Into the mid outer thigh
The auto-injector goes into the outer aspect of the middle third of the thigh, held in place for the time the manufacturer specifies, and it can be given through clothing if needed. The thigh muscle is large and well perfused, which gets the drug working faster than the arm, and the usual adult dose is 0.3 mg with 0.15 mg for a small child.
12. Complete the sentence.
For an adult with suspected cardiac chest pain and no contraindications, most protocols have the EMT give _____ milligrams of chewable aspirin.
Opzioni per lo spazio 1: 81, 160 to 325, 500, 650
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: 160 to 325
The usual dose is 160 to 325 mg, most often given as four 81 mg chewable tablets, which comes to 324 mg. Chewing rather than swallowing speeds absorption, and the aspirin is withheld if the patient is allergic to it or has signs of active bleeding.
13. A patient is having a generalized seizure on the floor. What should the EMT do during the seizure?
- A. Hold the arms and legs still until the shaking stops
- B. Move nearby objects away, protect the head, and note how long it lasts
- C. Place a bite block between the teeth to protect the tongue
- D. Sit the patient up and offer sips of water
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Move nearby objects away, protect the head, and note how long it lasts
During a seizure you protect the patient from injury and observe, so clear the space, cushion the head and time what you see, because the duration and the description are what the hospital needs. Restraining the limbs can cause fractures, and forcing anything between the teeth breaks teeth and risks the airway, so nothing goes in the mouth.
14. During delivery you see the umbilical cord protruding from the vagina ahead of the baby. What should you do?
- A. Push the cord gently back into the birth canal
- B. Relieve pressure on the cord with a gloved hand, position the mother with her hips elevated, and transport immediately
- C. Have the mother sit upright and push harder
- D. Clamp and cut the cord before the baby delivers
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Relieve pressure on the cord with a gloved hand, position the mother with her hips elevated, and transport immediately
A prolapsed cord is a true emergency because the baby's head compresses the cord and cuts off its own oxygen supply. Insert a gloved hand to lift the presenting part off the cord and keep it there, put the mother knee to chest or with her hips raised, keep the exposed cord moist and covered, give high concentration oxygen and transport without delay. The cord is never pushed back in and never clamped while it is the baby's only blood supply.
15. Which of these is within the EMT scope of practice under most state protocols?
- A. Starting an IV line and giving 50 percent dextrose
- B. Helping a patient take their own prescribed nitroglycerin
- C. Pushing intravenous morphine for pain
- D. Performing endotracheal intubation
Mostra risposta e spiegazione
Risposta: B. Helping a patient take their own prescribed nitroglycerin
Assisting a patient with a medication that has already been prescribed to them, such as nitroglycerin or a metered dose inhaler, is a standard EMT skill, usually after checking the patient's blood pressure and confirming the drug, dose and expiration date. Intravenous medication and endotracheal intubation belong to advanced levels, and because scope is set by your state and your medical director, the exact list you may use is the one in your own protocols.
Cosa copre davvero un corso EMT-Basic
Un corso EMT è costruito su pochi blocchi di argomenti che tornano in ogni verifica: vie aeree, respirazione e ventilazione; valutazione del paziente; emergenze mediche; trauma; ostetricia, neonati e bambini; e operazioni EMS. La durata del corso varia, ma la maggior parte dei programmi sta tra le 120 e le 200 ore tra lezioni, laboratorio e tirocinio, e quasi tutti finiscono con un esame scritto e una prova pratica di abilità.
La valutazione del paziente è la spina dorsale che tiene insieme il resto. Prima viene la valutazione della scena, poi la valutazione primaria per le minacce immediate a vie aeree, respiro e circolo, poi la raccolta dell'anamnesi e la valutazione secondaria, poi la rivalutazione durante il trasporto. Quasi ogni domanda su scenario che vedrai chiede in realtà se sai collocare un rilievo in quell'ordine e agire prima sul più pericoloso.
Un blocco varia davvero: l'ambito di attività. Quali farmaci puoi somministrare o aiutare il paziente a prendere, quali presidi per le vie aeree puoi usare e le parole esatte delle tue schede di abilità li decidono l'ufficio EMS del tuo stato e il tuo direttore sanitario, non un regolamento nazionale unico. Nella maggior parte dei protocolli un EMT può dare glucosio orale, aspirina e un autoiniettore di adrenalina, e può aiutare il paziente a prendere la nitroglicerina che gli è stata prescritta o il suo inalatore predosato, con il naloxone aggiunto in molti posti. Tratta qualsiasi elenco che leggi online, compreso questo, come un punto di partenza e controlla i tuoi protocolli per la versione che vale per te.
Come usare questo assaggio
Queste 15 domande verificano le conoscenze del corso: numeri, regole di misura, sequenze e controindicazioni. Non sono scritte apposta come i lunghi scenari in stile registry. Se vuoi la versione a scenari, fai l'assaggio NREMT collegato qui sotto, e usa questa pagina per i fatti di base che quegli scenari danno per acquisiti.
Fallo tutto d'un fiato senza appunti, poi leggi la spiegazione di ogni domanda, incluse quelle che hai indovinato. Una risposta sbagliata di solito indica un blocco più che un singolo fatto. Se hai sbagliato la domanda sulla misura delle cannule e quella sulla frequenza di ventilazione, ripassa tutta l'unità su vie aeree e ventilazione invece di memorizzare quei due numeri.
Le abilità pratiche vogliono un altro tipo di esercizio. Leggere della tenuta del pallone-maschera o di un laccio emostatico non ti fa passare una stazione pratica. Scegli un'abilità, di' i passaggi ad alta voce nell'ordine giusto confrontandoli con la scheda del tuo corso, fatteli spuntare da un compagno, poi rifalla mentre qualcuno ti cronometra. I passaggi che si saltano più spesso sono quelli di routine: la sicurezza della scena, le precauzioni standard, il ricontrollo di polso, motilità e sensibilità dopo un'immobilizzazione, e dire che rivaluteresti il paziente.
Come StudyPDF crea test completi dai tuoi materiali
Quindici domande ti mostrano quale blocco è debole. Da sole non bastano per arrivare pronto, e una banca dati generica non ha idea di quali capitoli abbia sottolineato il tuo docente né di quali protocolli usi il tuo stato.
StudyPDF prende un'altra strada. Carichi il tuo manuale EMT, le slide delle lezioni, le dispense del corso o il documento dei protocolli del tuo servizio, e Bo, l'agente di studio, crea test completi da quelle pagine esatte. Ogni domanda nasce dai tuoi materiali e ogni spiegazione indica da dove viene la risposta, così puoi controllare la fonte quando una risposta non ti torna. Puoi generare test nuovi quante volte vuoi e restringerli a una sola area come vie aeree, cardiologia o trauma.
Non devi caricare niente per iniziare. Puoi solo nominare un argomento, per esempio i parametri vitali pediatrici o i presidi per l'ossigeno, e Bo crea un test di esercitazione su quello, poi tiene traccia dei concetti che continui a sbagliare. Inizi gratis.
