    If Anginal pain lasts more than 15-20 minutes, despite usual treatment you should suspect

    • Myocardial Infarction

    • Muscular Skeletal injury

    • Chest Infection

    Correct Answer
    A. Myocardial Infarction
    Explanation
    If anginal pain lasts more than 15-20 minutes, despite usual treatment, the most likely cause is a myocardial infarction. Anginal pain is typically caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, resulting in chest pain or discomfort. If the pain persists for a longer duration, it suggests that the blood flow to the heart is severely compromised, leading to a heart attack or myocardial infarction. Prompt medical attention is required in such cases to prevent further damage to the heart muscle.

    How long should a Defibrillator remain with a patient when suspecting heart attack.

    • Until entering the Ambulance

    • Until exiting the Ambulance at Hospital

    • Until Handover of patient to hospital staff

    Correct Answer
    A. Until Handover of patient to hospital staff
    Explanation
    The correct answer is until handover of the patient to hospital staff. This means that the defibrillator should remain with the patient until they have been transferred to the care of the hospital staff. This is important because the defibrillator may be needed to administer life-saving shocks to the patient in case their heart stops or goes into a dangerous rhythm. Keeping the defibrillator with the patient ensures that it is readily available for immediate use if necessary during the transfer process.

    A non blanching rash in an unwell person meningococcal septicaemia must be assumed

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In cases of a non-blanching rash in an unwell person, it is crucial to assume meningococcal septicaemia. Meningococcal septicaemia is a severe and potentially life-threatening infection caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. The presence of a non-blanching rash, which does not fade when pressed, is a key symptom of this condition. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential to prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. Therefore, assuming meningococcal septicaemia in such cases is the correct approach.

    Paracetomol Overdose even in modest doses say 20 - 30 tablets can cause damage  to which organs

    • Spleen & Lungs

    • Liver & Kidney

    • Brain & Liver

    Correct Answer
    A. Liver & Kidney
    Explanation
    Paracetamol overdose, even in modest doses, can cause damage to the liver and kidneys. The liver is responsible for metabolizing paracetamol, and an overdose can overwhelm its capacity, leading to liver damage. The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, and excessive paracetamol can lead to kidney damage. Therefore, both the liver and kidneys are at risk of damage in cases of paracetamol overdose.

    You should always take a defib to a patient who is convulsing

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a patient is convulsing, it is important to have a defibrillator (defib) nearby. Convulsions can be caused by various factors, including cardiac arrest or arrhythmias. In such cases, a defib can be crucial in delivering an electric shock to the heart to restore its normal rhythm. This can potentially save the patient's life. Therefore, it is recommended to always have a defib available when dealing with a patient who is convulsing.

    In severe Asthma there may be decreased or absent breath sounds ?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In severe asthma, there may be decreased or absent breath sounds. This can occur due to the narrowing of the airways, which restricts the flow of air in and out of the lungs. As a result, the normal breath sounds may be faint or completely absent. This can be a concerning sign indicating a severe asthma attack and may require immediate medical attention. Monitoring breath sounds is an important part of assessing the severity of asthma and guiding appropriate treatment.

    You should administer drugs if a convulsion last longer than

    • 2 minutes

    • 4 minutes

    • 5 minutes

    • 3 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 5 minutes
    Explanation
    If a convulsion lasts longer than 5 minutes, it is considered a medical emergency known as status epilepticus. During status epilepticus, the brain is at risk of prolonged seizure activity, which can cause permanent damage or even be life-threatening. Administering drugs, such as anticonvulsant medications, is necessary to stop the seizure and prevent further complications. Therefore, waiting longer than 5 minutes to administer drugs could potentially be dangerous for the patient.

    In a pelvic injury bleeding from what is more frequent?

    • Veins

    • Arteries

    • Capileries

    Correct Answer
    A. Veins
    Explanation
    In a pelvic injury, bleeding from veins is more frequent. This is because veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart from various parts of the body, including the pelvis. Injuries to veins can result in significant bleeding as veins have thinner walls compared to arteries. Arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the different parts of the body. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, and they are not as prone to significant bleeding as veins.

    There is not normally any associated pain with upper GI Bleeds

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeds usually do not cause pain. This is because the upper GI tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, does not have many pain receptors. Therefore, bleeding in this area is often not accompanied by pain. However, it is important to note that while upper GI bleeds may not cause pain, they can still lead to symptoms such as vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, and lightheadedness.

    In Non-Tramatic Chest Pain/Discomfort you should Assess patients general appearance first ?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In non-traumatic chest pain/discomfort, it is not necessary to assess the patient's general appearance first. While assessing the general appearance can provide some initial information about the patient's overall condition, it is more important to focus on specific aspects related to the chest pain/discomfort, such as the location, severity, and associated symptoms. Assessing vital signs, conducting a thorough medical history, and performing a physical examination are more relevant in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is false.
