    Which receptor monitors Co2 and O2 in the blood?

    • Chemoreceptors

    • Baroreceptors

    Correct Answer
    A. Chemoreceptors
    Explanation
    Chemoreceptors are specialized sensory receptors that monitor the levels of chemicals, including carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2), in the blood. They are located in the carotid bodies and aortic bodies, which are sensitive to changes in the blood's chemical composition. When CO2 levels increase or O2 levels decrease, chemoreceptors send signals to the brain, which then regulates breathing and other physiological responses to maintain proper gas exchange in the body. Therefore, chemoreceptors are responsible for monitoring CO2 and O2 levels in the blood.

    You arrive on scene first to find a unconscious patient not breathing. Before inserting an OP airway you should?

    • Apply the de-fib pads

    • Call for back up

    • Check for any obstructions

    • Start CPR

    Correct Answer
    A. Check for any obstructions
    Explanation
    Before inserting an OP airway, it is important to check for any obstructions in the patient's airway. This is because if there are any obstructions, such as foreign objects or fluids, they need to be cleared before attempting to insert the airway. Checking for obstructions ensures that the airway is clear and allows for effective ventilation. Once the airway is clear, the next step would be to insert the OP airway to maintain an open airway and then proceed with other necessary actions such as starting CPR or calling for backup if needed.

    The only 2 shockable rhythms by a AED, VF and Pulseless VT?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because ventricular fibrillation (VF) and pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) are the only two shockable rhythms that can be treated with an automated external defibrillator (AED). These rhythms are life-threatening and require immediate intervention. VF is a chaotic rhythm where the heart's electrical signals are disorganized, while pulseless VT is a fast and regular rhythm that prevents the heart from effectively pumping blood. In both cases, delivering an electric shock through an AED can help restore a normal heart rhythm and improve the chances of survival.

    Rate this question:

    Normal adult diastolic pressure is?

    • 120mm Hg

    • 80mm Hg

    • 140mm Hg

    • 90mm Hg

    Correct Answer
    A. 80mm Hg
    Explanation
    The normal adult diastolic pressure is 80mm Hg. Diastolic pressure is the measurement of the force exerted on the walls of the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. A diastolic pressure of 80mm Hg is considered within the normal range for adults, indicating that the blood vessels are relaxed and the heart is effectively pumping blood. Higher diastolic pressures may indicate hypertension or other underlying health conditions, while lower diastolic pressures may suggest hypotension.

    • 94 to 98%

    • 92 to 94%

    • 88 to 92%

    • 85 to 88%

    Correct Answer
    A. 94 to 98%
    Explanation
    The target oxygen saturations for a fit and well patient should be between 94 to 98%. This range ensures that the patient's blood is adequately oxygenated, allowing for proper functioning of the body's organs and tissues. Oxygen saturation levels below 94% may indicate hypoxemia, which can lead to oxygen deprivation and potential complications. On the other hand, levels above 98% may indicate hyperoxemia, which can also have adverse effects on the body. Therefore, maintaining oxygen saturations within the range of 94 to 98% is crucial for optimal health and well-being.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    You are confronted with an unwitnessed, unconscious patient. How should you open the patient airway?

    • Jaw thrust maneuver

    • Head tilt maneuver

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaw thrust maneuver
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the Jaw thrust maneuver. This technique is used to open the airway of an unconscious patient without risking further injury to the neck or spine. It involves placing the fingers behind the angles of the patient's lower jaw and gently lifting it forward, which helps to move the tongue away from the back of the throat and allows air to flow freely into the lungs. The head tilt maneuver, on the other hand, is not recommended in cases where there is a possibility of neck or spine injury, as it can potentially worsen the condition.

    The most common and significant insult to the brain and spinal cord is?

    • Hypoxia

    • Meningitis

    • Reduced CSF

    • C-spine injury

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypoxia
    Explanation
    Hypoxia is the most common and significant insult to the brain and spinal cord. Hypoxia refers to a condition where there is a lack of oxygen supply to the tissues. The brain and spinal cord are highly dependent on oxygen for their proper functioning. When oxygen supply is reduced, it can lead to damage and dysfunction of these vital organs. Hypoxia can occur due to various reasons such as respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, or severe blood loss. Therefore, hypoxia is considered a major insult to the brain and spinal cord.

  • 27. 

    Which nerve connects the diaphragm and the brain?

    • Phrenic nerve

    • Vagus nerve

    Correct Answer
    A. Phrenic nerve
    Explanation
    The phrenic nerve is the correct answer because it is the nerve that connects the diaphragm and the brain. This nerve originates from the cervical spine and provides the main motor and sensory innervation to the diaphragm, which is the primary muscle responsible for breathing. The phrenic nerve carries signals from the brain to the diaphragm, allowing it to contract and relax, thereby facilitating the process of breathing. The vagus nerve, on the other hand, is responsible for a variety of functions including regulating heart rate, digestion, and controlling muscles in the throat and voice box.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    How long does it take for irreversible brain damage to take place?

    • 3 to 4 minutes

    • 7 to 8 minutes

    • 6 to 7 minutes

    • 5 to 6 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 to 4 minutes
    Explanation
    Irreversible brain damage can occur within 3 to 4 minutes without oxygen supply to the brain. This is because the brain cells are highly sensitive to oxygen deprivation and can start to die off rapidly after just a few minutes. Without oxygen, the brain cannot carry out its essential functions, leading to permanent damage. It is crucial to provide immediate medical attention, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), to restore oxygen flow and prevent irreversible brain damage.

    The myocardium is at its thickest around the?

    • Left ventricle

    • Right ventricle

    • Left atrium

    • Right atrium

    Correct Answer
    A. Left ventricle
    Explanation
    The myocardium is the muscular layer of the heart that is responsible for pumping blood. It is thickest in the left ventricle because this chamber has the most important role in pumping oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The left ventricle receives blood from the left atrium and then contracts forcefully to push the blood out through the aorta. This increased workload requires a thicker myocardium to generate the necessary force for efficient pumping.
