  • 2. 

    All patients with a serious injury or illness should be monitored for shock

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Monitoring patients with serious injuries or illnesses for shock is important because shock is a life-threatening condition that can occur in these cases. Shock is a state of insufficient blood flow to the body's organs and tissues, which can lead to organ failure and death if not promptly recognized and treated. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor patients with serious injuries or illnesses for signs and symptoms of shock, such as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, pale or cool skin, and altered mental status, in order to initiate appropriate interventions and prevent further complications.

    Oxygen therapy can slow the onset of shock by

    • Calming the patient

    • Increasing oxygenation of organs and tissues

    • Helping blood to clot

    Correct Answer
    A. Increasing oxygenation of organs and tissues
    Explanation
    Oxygen therapy can slow the onset of shock by increasing oxygenation of organs and tissues. When a person is in shock, their body is not receiving enough oxygen, which can lead to organ damage and tissue death. By providing supplemental oxygen through oxygen therapy, the oxygen levels in the body are increased, ensuring that organs and tissues receive the necessary oxygen to function properly. This can help prevent further damage and promote healing, ultimately slowing down the progression of shock.

    For a patient who has experienced blunt trauma to the eye you should not

    • Be assessed for internal bleeding

    • Rest in the supine position

    • Apply direct pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Apply direct pressure
    Explanation
    When a patient has experienced blunt trauma to the eye, applying direct pressure is not recommended. Applying direct pressure to the eye can cause further damage to the delicate structures inside the eye and potentially worsen the injury. Instead, it is important to seek immediate medical attention and have a healthcare professional assess the eye for any internal bleeding or other potential injuries. The patient should be advised to avoid applying any pressure to the eye and to keep it protected until medical help is received.

    When assessing a patient for spinal cord injury you should consider the following except:

    • Distracting injuries

    • Sobriety

    • Circulation sensation and movement in extremities

    • Distance to the trail head

    Correct Answer
    A. Distance to the trail head
    Explanation
    When assessing a patient for spinal cord injury, it is important to consider various factors that may affect their condition and treatment. These include distracting injuries, sobriety, and circulation, sensation, and movement in extremities. However, the distance to the trail head is not a relevant factor to consider when evaluating a patient for spinal cord injury. The distance to the trail head does not provide any useful information about the patient's spinal cord injury or their immediate medical needs.

    A person that breaks their femur may be as risk for

    • Hypovolemic shock

    • Cardiogenic shock

    • Vasogenic shock

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypovolemic shock
    Explanation
    When a person breaks their femur, there is a risk of hypovolemic shock. This type of shock occurs when there is a significant loss of blood or fluid from the body, leading to a decrease in blood volume. A broken femur can cause severe bleeding, especially if there is damage to major blood vessels. The loss of blood volume can result in hypovolemic shock, which is characterized by low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and inadequate oxygen supply to the body's organs and tissues.

    Administering epinephrine to an anaphylactic patient will stop the underlying cause of shock

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Administering epinephrine to an anaphylactic patient will not stop the underlying cause of shock. Epinephrine is used as a treatment for anaphylaxis because it helps to alleviate the symptoms and reverse the effects of the allergic reaction. However, it does not address the underlying cause of the reaction, which is typically an allergen. Identifying and removing the allergen is necessary to prevent further reactions.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Prior to administering epinephrine for anaphylaxis you should administer:

    • Water, orally

    • Alcohol preparation of the injection area

    • Benadryl

    Correct Answer
    A. Benadryl
    Explanation
    Before administering epinephrine for anaphylaxis, it is recommended to administer Benadryl. Benadryl is an antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms of allergic reactions, such as itching, hives, and swelling. It can help reduce the severity of an allergic reaction and provide temporary relief until epinephrine can be administered. However, it is important to note that Benadryl should not replace epinephrine, as epinephrine is the first-line treatment for anaphylaxis and should be administered as soon as possible.

    A nasal canula is preferred over a mask for a patient who has low oxygen saturation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A nasal cannula is not preferred over a mask for a patient who has low oxygen saturation. A mask provides a higher concentration of oxygen and is more effective in delivering oxygen to the patient's lungs. A nasal cannula, on the other hand, delivers a lower concentration of oxygen and is typically used for patients who require a lower level of oxygen supplementation. Therefore, the statement is false.

    The patient's heart rate and respirations are rapid, but the blood pressure is declining. These signs and symptoms are indicative of what condition

    • Anaphylaxis

    • Body Wide infection

    • Decompensated shock

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The patient's rapid heart rate and respirations, along with a declining blood pressure, suggest a condition known as decompensated shock. Decompensated shock occurs when the body's compensatory mechanisms fail to maintain adequate blood flow and oxygenation to tissues. Anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction, can cause these symptoms by triggering widespread dilation of blood vessels and increased permeability. Additionally, a body-wide infection can lead to septic shock, which also manifests with rapid heart rate, respirations, and low blood pressure. Therefore, all of the above conditions can present with these signs and symptoms.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Septic shock may have the following signs and symptoms except:

    • Increased temperature

    • Mottled dry skin

    • Track lines from a site of infection

    • Hypertension - high BP

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypertension - high BP
    Explanation
    Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when an infection leads to a systemic inflammatory response. It is characterized by low blood pressure, which is known as hypotension, rather than hypertension or high blood pressure. The other signs and symptoms mentioned, such as increased temperature, mottled dry skin, and track lines from a site of infection, are commonly associated with septic shock.
