1.

- A.
  
  EMT-Paramedic
- B.
  
  EMT-Intermediate
- C.
  
  Both EMT-Paramedic and EMT-Intermediate
Correct Answer
A. EMT-Paramedic

Explanation
The EMT-Paramedic certification is associated with administering medications, such as Lidocaine, during CPR. This certification allows paramedics to have the necessary knowledge and skills to administer medications in emergency situations, including during CPR. EMT-Intermediate certification does not have the same level of training and authority to administer medications as EMT-Paramedic. Therefore, the correct answer is EMT-Paramedic.

Both First Responder and EMT-Basic are associated with controlling bleeding. First Responders are trained to provide immediate medical assistance in emergency situations, including controlling bleeding.

Therefore, both skill levels are capable of effectively managing and controlling bleeding.

- A.
  
  Violation of Good Samaritan Laws

  Violation of Neutrality Laws
- C.
  
  Violation of Duty to Act Laws
Correct Answer
C. Violation of Duty to Act Laws

Explanation
If you decide not to treat a patient who is in need of medical attention, you could be found guilty of violating the Duty to Act Laws. These laws require individuals, especially medical professionals, to provide assistance or medical care to those in need during emergency situations. By choosing not to treat the irritable patient, you are neglecting your duty to act and failing to provide the necessary medical assistance, which can result in legal consequences.

Good Samaritan Laws are designed to encourage off-duty EMTs to stop and render aid at an emergency.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Good Samaritan Laws provide legal protection to individuals who voluntarily assist others in emergency situations. These laws are specifically designed to encourage off-duty EMTs, who have the necessary skills and knowledge, to stop and provide aid without fear of legal repercussions. By granting immunity from liability, Good Samaritan Laws aim to ensure that medical professionals are more willing to assist in emergencies, ultimately improving the chances of saving lives. Therefore, the statement is true.

EMTs involved in major disasters are encouraged to go through debriefing. This is also called what?
- A.
  
  CISD
- B.
  
  ISD
- C.
  
  PPE
Correct Answer
A. CISD

Explanation
EMTs involved in major disasters are encouraged to go through debriefing, which is also known as CISD (Critical Incident Stress Debriefing). CISD is a structured group intervention that aims to provide emotional support and help individuals process their experiences after a traumatic event. It allows EMTs to share their thoughts and feelings, reduce stress, and prevent the development of long-term psychological issues.

Rate this question:
7.

CISD should be done within 72 hours of the incident.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
CISD, which stands for Critical Incident Stress Debriefing, is a psychological intervention technique used to help individuals cope with the emotional aftermath of traumatic events. It is recommended to conduct CISD within 72 hours of the incident because this is the most critical period when individuals are most vulnerable and their reactions to the trauma are still fresh. By intervening early, CISD aims to prevent the development of long-term psychological issues and promote effective coping strategies. Therefore, the statement that CISD should be done within 72 hours of the incident is true.

Rate this question:
8.

PPE is similar to Universal Precautions.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is similar to Universal Precautions because both involve taking necessary measures to prevent the spread of diseases and protect individuals from potential hazards. Universal Precautions refer to a set of guidelines followed by healthcare professionals to prevent the transmission of bloodborne pathogens. Similarly, PPE is a set of protective gear, such as gloves, masks, and gowns, used to minimize exposure to infectious agents. Both concepts aim to ensure the safety of individuals and prevent the spread of diseases.

EMS organizations work with medical direction to provide what?
- A.
  
  Protocols
- B.
  
  Quality Assurance
- C.
  
  Both Protocols & Quality Assurance
Correct Answer
C. Both Protocols & Quality Assurance

Explanation
EMS organizations work closely with medical direction to ensure the provision of high-quality care. Protocols are established guidelines that outline the appropriate procedures and treatments for various medical conditions. These protocols help EMS providers make informed decisions and deliver consistent care. On the other hand, quality assurance involves monitoring and evaluating the performance of EMS providers to ensure adherence to protocols and identify areas for improvement. Therefore, EMS organizations work with medical direction to provide both protocols and quality assurance.

Rate this question:
10.

Protocols are the steps an EMT should take in handling a medical emergency.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The given statement is true. Protocols are indeed the steps that an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) should follow when handling a medical emergency. These protocols are established guidelines and procedures that are designed to ensure a standardized and effective approach to providing emergency medical care. By following these protocols, EMTs can ensure that they provide the necessary and appropriate care to patients in a timely manner, increasing the chances of a positive outcome.
