If Aspirin is not available but Tylenol is, you should instruct the caller to have the patient chew 2 500mg tablets?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The correct answer is False. If Aspirin is not available, the caller should not instruct the patient to chew 2 500mg tablets of Tylenol. Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminophen, which is not the same as Aspirin. While both are pain relievers, they have different active ingredients and dosages. Instructing the patient to take a different medication without proper guidance from a healthcare professional can be potentially dangerous and may lead to adverse effects.Rate this question:

-
That Brockton is the city of Champion.

The presence of an AED does not ensure its use - the EMD does
-
The presence of an AED ensures its use
-
Someone should check the batteries...
Correct Answer
A. The presence of an AED does not ensure its use - the EMD doesExplanation
Brock's Law refers to the fact that the presence of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) does not guarantee its use in an emergency situation. Instead, it is the responsibility of the Emergency Medical Dispatcher (EMD) to ensure that the AED is properly used. This means that simply having an AED available is not enough, as it requires the knowledge and action of the EMD to effectively utilize the device.Rate this question:

A caller reports chest pain and stroke like symptoms, what protocol should be used?
-
10 Chest Pain but do not utilize the Aspirin diagnostic & instruction tool.
-
28 Stroke (CVA)
-
19 Heart Problems / A.I.C.D.
-
Option 4
Correct Answer
A. 10 Chest Pain but do not utilize the Aspirin diagnostic & instruction tool.Explanation
The correct answer is "10 Chest Pain but do not utilize the Aspirin diagnostic & instruction tool." This protocol should be used because the caller is reporting chest pain, which is a symptom that could potentially indicate a heart problem. However, the caller also has stroke-like symptoms, which suggests the possibility of a stroke (CVA). In this case, the protocol for chest pain should be followed, but the Aspirin diagnostic & instruction tool should not be utilized because it may not be appropriate for a potential stroke situation.Rate this question:
