    When preforming a neurological check on a patient, which examination would indicate an appropriate response to light being flashed on the patients eyes?

    • Onset Provoke Quality Radiation Severity and Time (OPQRST)

    • Pupils Equal, Round, Reactive to Lights and Accommodation (PERRLA)

    • Evaluating extraocular movements (EOM)

    • Range of motion (ROM)

    Correct Answer
    A. Pupils Equal, Round, Reactive to Lights and Accommodation (PERRLA)
    Explanation
    The examination that would indicate an appropriate response to light being flashed on the patient's eyes is Pupils Equal, Round, Reactive to Lights and Accommodation (PERRLA). This examination assesses the size, shape, and reaction of the pupils to light, as well as their ability to accommodate and constrict when focusing on near objects. A normal response would be equal-sized and round pupils that constrict when exposed to light and dilate when focusing on near objects. This examination helps evaluate the integrity of the cranial nerves and the overall neurological function of the patient.

    What component of blood is involved in the clotting process?

    • Platelets

    • Leukocytes

    • Packed cells

    • Anticoagulants

    Correct Answer
    A. Platelets
    Explanation
    Platelets are involved in the clotting process of blood. When there is an injury, platelets are activated and form a plug at the site of the injury to prevent excessive bleeding. They release chemicals that attract more platelets and help in the formation of a blood clot. Platelets also help in the repair of damaged blood vessels by releasing growth factors. Leukocytes, packed cells, and anticoagulants are not directly involved in the clotting process.

    What action, if any, should you take if you  notice a child you are taking care of shows signs of abuse such as burns and bruises?

    • Report the suspected abuse

    • Only report if the parents admits abuse

    • Counsel the parent on his or her actions

    • Nothing, the technician is not responsible for reporting abuse

    Correct Answer
    A. Report the suspected abuse
    Explanation
    If a child you are taking care of shows signs of abuse such as burns and bruises, it is important to report the suspected abuse. This is because the safety and well-being of the child should be the top priority, and reporting the suspected abuse can help ensure that the child receives the necessary protection and support. It is not sufficient to only report if the parents admit abuse, as abuse may be denied or concealed. Counseling the parent on their actions may not be effective in addressing the immediate safety concerns of the child. The technician is responsible for reporting abuse to the appropriate authorities.

    How are corneal abrasions detected

    • X-rays

    • Venogram

    • Angiogram

    • Fluorescein stain

    Correct Answer
    A. Fluorescein stain
    Explanation
    Fluorescein stain is used to detect corneal abrasions. This diagnostic test involves applying a special dye to the surface of the eye. If there is a corneal abrasion present, the dye will highlight the damaged area by adhering to the exposed underlying tissue. The stain causes the abrasion to appear green under a blue light, allowing healthcare professionals to easily detect and diagnose the injury. X-rays, venograms, and angiograms are not typically used to detect corneal abrasions as they are imaging techniques that are more commonly used to visualize bones, veins, and arteries.

    Which reason is not appropriate for restraining a child?

    • The physician needs to suture the childs face

    • The child continues to climb out of bed in the night

    • To prevent the child from falling out of a highchair

    • You have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child

    Correct Answer
    A. You have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child
    Explanation
    The reason "you have other tasks to do, and no time to sit with the child" is not appropriate for restraining a child because it does not prioritize the child's safety or well-being. Restraining a child should only be done when necessary, such as when the physician needs to suture the child's face, the child continues to climb out of bed in the night, or to prevent the child from falling out of a highchair. However, being busy with other tasks is not a valid reason to restrain a child as it neglects their needs and may lead to harm or neglect.

    Correct Answer
    A. Spouse states it will never happen again.
    Explanation
    In the third phase of spousal abuse, the abuser typically apologizes and promises that the abuse will never happen again. This is known as the "honeymoon phase" where the abuser tries to regain control over the victim by manipulating them into believing that they have changed. However, this phase is often short-lived and is followed by a return to tension and stress building, leading to further abuse.

    When caring for a patient with electrical burns at a facility, your first priority is

    • To apply sterile dressings to the burn sites

    • Management of the patients airway

    • Evaluate extent of the burn

    • Infection control

    Correct Answer
    A. Management of the patients airway
    Explanation
    When caring for a patient with electrical burns, the management of the patient's airway is the first priority. Electrical burns can cause airway swelling or obstruction due to thermal injury, which can lead to respiratory distress or even respiratory arrest. Therefore, ensuring a clear and patent airway is crucial to maintain adequate oxygenation and ventilation. This may involve providing supplemental oxygen, performing a thorough assessment of the airway, and, if necessary, initiating interventions such as intubation or suctioning to ensure the airway remains open and unobstructed.

    How would you apply a dressing with the intention of debriding a wound?

    • Dry

    • Wet

    • Wet to dry

    • Wet to wet

    Correct Answer
    A. Wet to dry
    Explanation
    Wet to dry dressing is a technique used to debride a wound. It involves applying a moist dressing to the wound, allowing it to dry, and then removing it. As the dressing dries, it adheres to the wound and when removed, it helps to remove dead tissue, debris, and bacteria from the wound bed. This promotes wound healing by creating a clean environment for new tissue growth. Therefore, wet to dry dressing is the correct choice for debriding a wound.

    Turning a patient on a Stryker frame quickly after a spinal cord injury can cause

    • Aspiration

    • Cardiac arrest

    • Disorientation

    • Respiratory arrest

    Correct Answer
    A. Cardiac arrest
    Explanation
    Turning a patient on a Stryker frame quickly after a spinal cord injury can cause cardiac arrest. This is because rapid movement or manipulation of the patient's body can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate, which can be detrimental to someone with a spinal cord injury. The sudden change in position can also disrupt blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart, potentially causing a cardiac arrest. It is important to handle patients with spinal cord injuries carefully and avoid sudden movements to prevent such complications.

    The normal adaptive mechanism used by children when they loose thier sense of control is

    • Fantasy

    • Projection

    • Regression

    • Displacement

    Correct Answer
    A. Regression
    Explanation
    Regression is a normal adaptive mechanism used by children when they lose their sense of control. When faced with stressful situations or feelings of helplessness, children may revert to behaviors and attitudes that are more typical of an earlier stage of development. This regression allows them to seek comfort and support from others, as well as regain a sense of security and control. By temporarily returning to a previous stage of development, children can cope with stress and gradually regain their sense of control before moving forward again.

    A. Personality
    Explanation
    Personality refers to the unique set of traits, behaviors, and patterns of thinking that define an individual. It encompasses how a person thinks, feels, and behaves in various situations. It is influenced by a combination of genetic factors (heredity) and environmental factors, such as upbringing, culture, and life experiences. Personality is distinct from character, which refers to a person's moral and ethical qualities. Therefore, personality is the most fitting term to describe all that a person is, feels, and does.

    • Opinions of others

    • Self perception

    • Job title

    Correct Answer
    A. Self perception
    Explanation
    An individual's feelings about themselves are influenced by their self-perception. This refers to how they perceive and evaluate themselves, including their self-esteem, self-worth, and self-image. Self-perception is shaped by various factors such as personal experiences, beliefs, values, and attitudes. It is an internal process that can be influenced by external factors like societal norms, media, and interpersonal relationships. Socioeconomic status, opinions of others, and job title can also have an impact on one's self-perception, but ultimately it is the individual's own perception of themselves that plays a significant role in shaping their feelings about themselves.

    Explanation
    Pinching the urinary catheter prior to removal from the bladder helps prevent air from entering into the bladder. This is important because the presence of air in the bladder can cause discomfort and potentially lead to complications such as urinary tract infections. By pinching the catheter, any air that may be present in the tubing is blocked, ensuring that only urine is drained from the bladder during removal.

This means that the transfer of care requires approval from the chiefs of both the sending and receiving services. This ensures that the transfer is coordinated and agreed upon by both parties involved in the transfer. The involvement of both service chiefs helps to maintain continuity of care and ensure the smooth transition of the patient from one service to another.
