2. If a victim of injury or illness refuses care, you should—

Explanation

If a victim of injury or illness refuses care, it is important to explain to them why they need care and request them to at least allow someone more highly trained, such as EMS personnel, to evaluate the situation. This is because even if the victim refuses care, they may not fully understand the severity of their condition or the potential consequences of not receiving proper medical attention. By explaining the situation and involving trained professionals, the victim may be more likely to reconsider and accept the necessary care.

Submit
3. One of the first steps to follow during an emergency is—

Explanation

During an emergency, conducting an initial assessment is one of the first steps to follow. This involves quickly evaluating the situation and assessing the victim's condition to determine the appropriate course of action. It helps to identify any life-threatening injuries or conditions that require immediate attention. This assessment is crucial in order to provide the necessary first aid or medical care to the victim and ensure their safety.

Submit
4. The steps you perform in an initial assessment are—  

Explanation

In an initial assessment, it is important to check for consciousness, signs of life, a pulse, and severe bleeding. This helps to determine the victim's condition and prioritize the appropriate actions. The other steps mentioned in the options, such as performing abdominal thrusts, back blows, placing the victim in a modified-H.A.IN.E.S. recovery position, and providing rescue breaths, are specific actions that may be required in certain emergency situations but are not part of the initial assessment.

Submit

6. How many minutes early should you show up for your shift? (Write the number only.)

Explanation

The correct answer is 15 minutes. This is the recommended time for an employee to arrive before their shift starts. It allows them to settle in, prepare for their tasks, and ensure a smooth transition between shifts. Arriving early also demonstrates punctuality and dedication to one's job.

Submit
7. If Lifeguards wear suits that are primarily red, what is the main color of Management's suits?

Explanation

The main color of Management's suits is blue. This can be inferred from the fact that lifeguards wear suits that are primarily red, suggesting that there is a distinction in color between the lifeguards and the management. Since blue is not mentioned in relation to the lifeguards, it can be assumed that it is the main color of the management's suits.

Submit
8. The ABCs stand for...

Explanation

The correct answer is "Airway, Breathing, Circulation." This acronym is commonly used in emergency medicine to prioritize the steps in providing basic life support. It reminds healthcare providers to first ensure that the patient's airway is clear, then assess and support their breathing, and finally check and maintain their circulation.

Submit

Submit
10. The "F" in the FIND decision-making model stands for—

Explanation

The correct answer is "Figure out the problem." In the FIND decision-making model, the "F" represents the step of identifying and understanding the problem or issue at hand.

Submit
11. Since a child's chest may be small, it is alright to defibrillate if the pads touch each other when placed on the chest.

Explanation

It is not alright to defibrillate if the pads touch each other when placed on a child's chest. The pads should be placed at least one inch apart to ensure the effective delivery of the electrical shock to the heart. Placing the pads too close together can result in ineffective defibrillation and may not restore the heart's normal rhythm. Therefore, the statement is false.

Submit
12. During a near drowning, the lifeguard recognizes an emergency in the water, activates the EAP, uses rescue equipment and follows the general procedures for a water emergency.

Explanation

The given statement is true. During a near drowning, a lifeguard should recognize the emergency in the water, activate the Emergency Action Plan (EAP), use rescue equipment, and follow the general procedures for a water emergency. This includes assessing the situation, providing immediate assistance to the victim, and calling for additional help if needed. By following these steps, the lifeguard can effectively respond to the emergency and potentially save a life.

Submit
13. The "S" in the mnemonic SAMPLE stands for—

Explanation

The "S" in the mnemonic SAMPLE stands for signs and symptoms. This is used as a framework for gathering information during a medical assessment. Signs refer to objective observations that can be measured or observed by a healthcare professional, such as a high temperature or a rash. Symptoms, on the other hand, are subjective experiences reported by the patient, such as pain or dizziness. By assessing signs and symptoms, healthcare professionals can gather important information about a patient's condition and make informed decisions about their care.

Submit
14. How tall must someone be to ride the water slides?

Explanation

Submit
15. Which of the following should you leave in the Guard Room when the EAP has been activated?

Explanation

During an emergency situation when the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) has been activated, it is important to prioritize essential items and leave behind any non-essential belongings. In this case, the sandwich is the only item that is not necessary for emergency response. The rescue tube, backboard, emergency bag, and incident report are all crucial tools and documents that may be needed to assist in rescue and provide necessary information. Therefore, the sandwich should be left behind in the guard room during the activation of the EAP.

Submit
16. Part of your uniform is wearing your hat or visor. When is it appropriate to take your hat or visor off?

Explanation

When cleaning the outdoor bathrooms, it is important to hose before sweeping. This is because hosing the area first helps to remove any loose dirt, debris, or waste that may be present.

33. Signs and symptoms of a heart attack include—

Explanation

The signs and symptoms listed in the question are all potential indicators of a heart attack. However, the only option that specifically relates to the cardiovascular system is "nausea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing."

Therefore, the correct answer is "nausea, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing."
