Which of the following is true for CPR?
- A.
The depth of each chest compression should be 2 – 3 cm.
- B.
The volume of each breath should be 200 – 400 ml.
- C.
Complications of CPR include gastric distention and ribcage fractures.
- D.
5 cycles of CPR should be done in 5 minutes.
- E.
For Artificial Ventilations, 12 rescue breaths should be given in 2 minutes.
Correct Answer
C. Complications of CPR include gastric distention and ribcage fractures.Explanation
A: The depth of each chest compression should be about 4-5 cm.
B: The volume of each breath should be about 400-600mls.
C: Artificial ventilation frequently causes distention of the stomach. This occurs most often in children but it is also quite common in adults. The most likely causes are excess ventilation volumes and rapid flow rates, which results in air entering the stomach. A distended stomach elevates the diaphragm, thus reduces the lung volume. The incidence of gastric distention can be minimized by limiting the ventilation volume. Ventilate with enough pressure just to cause the chest to rise. When we do CPR using the dummy, gastric distention is characterized by the "farting" sound, which means that we are blowing too much or too fast.
D: 5 cycles of CPR should be done in 2 min.
E: Give 12 rescue breaths in 1 minute.Rate this question:

Which of the following is true?
- A.
Use tweezers to remove visible stings in the skin
- B.
Treatment for snake bites is to bandage it like any normal bleeding wound.
- C.
Use vinegar to treat tropical jellyfish stings.
- D.
Elevate casualty legs in the case of snake bites.
Correct Answer
C. Use vinegar to treat tropical jellyfish stings.Explanation
A: If the sting is visible, brush or scrape it off sideways with your fingernail. Do not use tweezers because you could squeeze the sting and more poison may be injected into the casualty.
B: This is not true! Refer to your FA manual, your aim as a first aider is to prevent the spread of venom in the body and to arrange for urgent removal to hospital. The treatment is not the same as any normal bleeding.
C: If vinegar is not available, you can also use sea water.
D: If you elevate casualty's leg, you are speeding up the spread of venom in the casualty's body, possibly to the heart as well!Rate this question:

Bob, a diabetic, suddenly felt weak and started sweating profusely. He was dieting, skipping meals as and when he wanted. He has been taking his insulin jabs regularly. What is he suffering from?
- A.
Hypoglycemia
- B.
Hyperglycemia
- C.
Fainting
- D.
Shock
- E.
Heat exhaustion
Correct Answer
A. HypoglycemiaExplanation
Hypoglycemia is a condition whereby blood-sugar level falls below normal, hence causing body to feel weak as glucose is the one of the main component to provide energy for the body. In this case, although the casualty has been taking his insulin jabs regularly, he skipped his meals, hence the insulin could not take effect. The easiest treatment is to quickly raise the sugar content of the blood and this can be achieved by giving casualty a sugary drink.Rate this question:

What should you do for a casualty rescued from drowning?
- A.
Waste no time by starting chest compressions to remove water that gushed out when he/she was rescued
- B.
Treat any injuries and send her home after she has recovered
- C.
Give him/her hot food to eat, and let her go home and rest
- D.
Get an ambulance for transport to hospital, monitor his/her condition, get a change of dry clothes for casualty
Correct Answer
D. Get an ambulance for transport to hospital, monitor his/her condition, get a change of dry clothes for casualtyExplanation
A is wrong: When a drowning casualty is rescued, water may gush from the mouth. This water is from the stomach and should be left to drain of its own accord. Do not attempt to force water from the stomach because the casualty may vomit and then inhale it.
B and C are wrong: Even if casualty appears to recover fully, as a first aider, do arrange for removal to hospital.Rate this question:

What are the considerations stretcher bearers should take note of during the transportation of a casualty?1. Keeping the stretcher level to the ground2. Carrying the casualty with the feet facing the direction of move3. Bring the stretcher to the casualty and not the casualty to the stretcher
- A.
1 only
- B.

- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
(1): Keeping the stretcher level to the ground ensures that the force is acting downwards on all 4 sides equally and thus casualty will not slide off either side of the stretcher.
(2): Carrying casualty with feet facing the direction of move is so that casualty can look at the path he is going and feels more comfortable
(3): Since casualty is injured, we will not want to move casualty unnecessary as it will aggravate his injury, hence we will bring stretcher to casualty since it is easier too.Rate this question:

When a person has greyish-blue lips,1. he has cyanosis2. he may be choking3. he may be hyperventilating4. he has low blood oxygen
- A.
1,2 and 3
- B.
1,2 and 4
- C.
All of the above
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. 1,2 and 4Explanation
Cyanosis describes a bluish tinge to the skin or lips, as a result of poor supply of oxygenated blood to those areas. (Hence options 1 and 4 are correct). It occurs by 2 mechanisms, failure of the lungs to take up sufficient oxygen for the body, or due to failure of the heart to pump out the oxygenated blood. On a sidenote, this is the reason why cyanosis is seen in both hypoxia and shock respectively. These 2 conditions can occur singly or both at the same time.
For choking, the casualty's airway is obstructed, breathing is impaired, leading to insufficient oxygen intake of the body and hence low blood oxygen as well.Rate this question:

D. All of the aboveExplanation
Shock is a life-threatening condition because there is a lack of blood to the vital organs, which means that they are not receiving the necessary nutrients and oxygen to function properly. Additionally, there is a lack of oxygen to the body tissues, which can lead to tissue damage and organ failure. Finally, the casualty could fall into cardiac arrest, which is a serious medical emergency where the heart stops beating. All of these factors contribute to the life-threatening nature of shock.Rate this question:

You all have learnt several methods to stop bleeding, in what sequence would you employ each method to stop bleeding from an open wound?1. Tie a constriction band2. Direct pressure3. Elevation4. Indirect pressure at the pressure points

- B.
2, 3, 4, 1
- C.
2, 4, 3, 1
- D.
2, 4, 1, 3
Correct Answer
B. 2, 3, 4, 1Explanation
In fact, direct pressure and elevation should preferably be used simultaneously if the bleeding is quite severe. (Of course for a small wound, perhaps direct pressure alone is sufficient to stop the bleeding)
We should only tie a constriction band as the last resort if all other 3 methods are insufficient to stop the very severe bleeding (for eg in amputation).
Note that we as first-aiders are not allowed to use tourniquets.
Both constriction bands and tourniquets severely restrict blood flow to lower part of the limb to which they are applied. Using these to stop bleeding give rise to the possibility that the entire arm or leg may be "damaged" (possibily by tissue death). However in the case of amputation, if bleeding is very severe, we may need to use a constriction band and our rationale would be "to use a limb rather than the casualty's life (from severe blood loss)"Rate this question:

E. All of the aboveExplanation
All of the conditions listed can potentially lead to shock. Loss of 2 liters of blood can cause hypovolemic shock, where there is a significant decrease in blood volume. Cardiac arrest can lead to cardiogenic shock, where the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Injuries to the nervous system can result in neurogenic shock, where there is a disruption in the autonomic nervous system's control of blood vessel tone. Severe diarrhea can cause hypovolemic shock as well, due to fluid and electrolyte loss. Therefore, all of these conditions can contribute to the development of shock.Rate this question:

Some complications that result from ribcage fracture include haemothorax and pneumothorax. Pneumothorax refers to:
- A.
Air in the pleural cavity
- B.
Bleeding in the lung
- C.
Collapsed heart
- D.
Bleeding in the heart
- E.
Collapsed lung
Correct Answer
A. Air in the pleural cavityExplanation
From the first aid manual: If a sharp object (in this case, it could be the rib bone) penetrates the chest wall, there may be severe damage to the organs in the chest and upper abdomen and this will lead to shock. The lungs are particularly susceptible to injury, either by being damaged themselves or from wounds that perforate the 2-layered membrane (pleura)that surrounds and protects each lung. Air can then enter between the membranes and exert pressure on the lung, and the lung may collapse--a condition called pneumothorax.
Why option E is not the best answer: Lung collapse can happen without pneumothorax, but this is way too complicated, so we do not have to know further. On the other hand, pneumothorax may not lead to lung collapse as well. Pneumothorax = air in the pleural cavity. Only in large quantities will it cause the lung to collapse; small amounts of air can be present without causing the lung to collapse.Rate this question:

A person who is choking will ? because ?. Choose the best answer.
- A.
Grab his throat; he is trying to indicate his discomfort
- B.
Cry out loudly; he is in pain
- C.
Breathe noisily; the object is obstructing his airway
- D.
Turn red; he exerts himself while trying to cough out the object
Correct Answer
A. Grab his throat; he is trying to indicate his discomfortExplanation
In fact for a conscious casualty who is really choking (airway blocked totally), he will be unable to cough, speak and breathe. That is why we ask the casualty "Can you cough, can you speak, can you breathe?", only when we get positive replies (say casualty nods his head), will we then proceed to do abdominal thrusts.
On a sidenote, from what some seniors observed at EFA re-exams, some std 2s who were acting as conscious choking casualties (who needed abdominal thrusts done on him/her) were making noises, which shows that they have some misconceptions about conscious choking, because they should be unable to make any sound if their airway is totally obstructed.Rate this question:

What is the correct formation for transporting a casualty on stretcher up a flight of stairs?
- A.
One to One Formation, head first
- B.
One to One Formation, leg first
- C.
Elbow Carriage, head first
- D.
Elbow Carriage, leg first
- E.
Four Man Carriage, leg first
Correct Answer
C. Elbow Carriage, head firstExplanation
Elbow Carriage (or Side Carriage)is used when going up or down flights of stairs. This formation can be used to raise the casualty to shoulder level and above head level.
Pros of Elbow Carriage: As members would be facing one another, it is very easy to coordinate movements. Also,
since both hands are holding on to the sides of
the stretcher, stability is increased. It is also
much easier to keep the stretcher horizontal
while in this formation.
Cons of Elbow Carriage: Using this formation to move forward

- B.
Once there is enough manpower to help remove the helmet
- C.
When there is suspected spinal injury
- D.

- E.
You should remove the casualty's full face helmet whenever you see one
Correct Answer(s)
A. When casualty is vomiting
D. When the casualty has difficulty breathingExplanation
The basic rule is "DO NOT remove a helmet unless absolutely necessary". In the case of casualty is vomiting or has difficulty breathing, we have to remove the helmet, otherwise the casualty's airway would be obstructed, leading to more serious conditions such as choking. For a casualty with suspected spinal injury, we try to not move the casualty in any way, hence if the helmet is not obstructing, we do not remove it.Rate this question:
