Question 5 of 10

5. Question

A 57 year old has called 911 due to new onset right sided weakness. The patient denies any chest pain or seizure activity. Vital signs are stable with a b/p of 160/70- HR 78 in a normal sinus rhythm, respiration are at 18 and non labored and oxygen saturation is 95% on room air. What is the next best step?

a.) 12 lead ECG
b.) Prehospital Cincinnati Stroke Scale
c.) Give 81 mg of ASA
d.) Apply oxygen

Question 6 of 10

6. Question

The patient has had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) but the blood pressure remains labile after the recommended (By AHA) 1-2 liters of volume resuscitation for the patient in an attempt to achieve a systolic B/P > 90. The team leader orders an Epinephrine drip to assist the blood pressure. Knowing that the Epi Drip dosage is different than the 2-10 mg/min that is used to support pressure during a bradycardia, what is the Epi drip dosage for B/P support with ROSC?

a.) 2-10 mcgs/kg/min
b.) 0.1-0.5 mcgs/kg/min
c.) 10-20 mg/min
d.) 1 mg IVP then drip at 2-10 mg/min

7. Question

a.) 12 hours
b.) 24 hours
c.) 24-28 hours
d.) 72 hours

Question 8 of 10

8. Question

How long do you suction down an ETT if the victim is intubated during an arrest situation?

a.) Hyperventilate, then suction for 30 seconds
b.) Suction only mouth and nose
c.) Suction during withdrawal of the catheter, for no longer than 10 seconds
d.) Suction during withdrawal of the catheter, for no longer than 10 seconds

Question 9 of 10

9. Question

What is the IMMEDIATE danger of hyperventilating during ROSC?

a.) pulmonary hypertension
b.) Oxygen toxicity
c.) Decreased oxygenated cerebral blood flow, caused by decreased venous return to the heart
d.) VQ mismatch
