  • 2. 

    If possible, you should ask a responsive person if they want help before providing care.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important to ask a responsive person if they want help before providing care because everyone has the right to make decisions about their own health and well-being. By asking for their consent, you are respecting their autonomy and allowing them to have control over their own situation. Additionally, some individuals may not want or need assistance, and it is important to respect their wishes. Therefore, it is advisable to ask before providing care to ensure that the person is comfortable and willing to accept help.

    "Universal Precautions" means that we treat all blood and body substances like they are infectious.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Universal Precautions means that we treat all blood and body substances like they are infectious" is true. Universal Precautions is an approach to infection control where healthcare workers assume that all blood and body fluids are potentially infectious. This means that they take the necessary precautions, such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, masks, and gowns, to protect themselves and others from potential infections. This approach helps to minimize the risk of transmission of bloodborne pathogens and other infectious diseases in healthcare settings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    "Good Samaritan" laws are indeed enacted in every state to protect individuals who offer assistance in emergency situations from being sued for any harm caused unintentionally while providing aid. These laws aim to encourage people to help others in need without fear of legal repercussions, promoting a culture of assistance and support in society.

    The main reason for doing "head-tilt, chin-lift" to open the airway is to keep the tongue from blocking the airway.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver is used to open the airway by lifting the tongue away from the back of the throat. This helps to prevent the tongue from obstructing the flow of air into the lungs, allowing for effective respiration. Therefore, the statement that the main reason for performing the head-tilt, chin-lift is to keep the tongue from blocking the airway is true.

  • 6. 

    When treating someone that is bleeding, you should never remove the first bandage that is used to apply direct pressure.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When someone is bleeding, applying direct pressure with a bandage helps to control the bleeding. Removing the first bandage that is used to apply direct pressure can disrupt the clotting process and cause the bleeding to start again. Therefore, it is recommended to never remove the first bandage when treating someone who is bleeding.

    CPR involves giving ___________ compressions, followed by 2 rescue breaths.

    • 30

    • 20

    • 15

    • 10

    Correct Answer
    A. 30
    Explanation
    CPR involves giving 30 compressions, followed by 2 rescue breaths. This is the standard protocol for performing CPR. The purpose of the compressions is to manually pump blood to the vital organs, while the rescue breaths provide oxygen to the person's lungs. The ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths helps maintain an adequate circulation and oxygenation during CPR, increasing the chances of survival for the person in need.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A chemical burn should be flushed out for at least...

    • A few minutes

    • 5 minutes

    • 15 minutes

    • Answer option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 minutes
    Explanation
    Chemical burns can cause serious damage to the skin and underlying tissues. Flushing out the affected area with water helps to remove the chemical and minimize further damage. A few minutes may not be sufficient to completely remove the chemical, while 5 minutes may be more effective but still not thorough. However, flushing the burn for at least 15 minutes ensures that the majority of the chemical is washed away, reducing the risk of further harm and promoting the healing process.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    To treat someone who has total airway obstruction(they cannot cough, cannot breathe or make noise), you must get behind them, clasp your hands right above their _____________ and do forceful, upward thrusts to clear the obstruction.

    • Ribcage

    • Chest

    • Navel or belly button

    Correct Answer
    A. Navel or belly button
    Explanation
    To treat someone with total airway obstruction, you must get behind them and clasp your hands right above their navel or belly button. By doing forceful, upward thrusts, you can effectively clear the obstruction and restore their ability to breathe. The navel or belly button area is the correct location to apply pressure as it helps to push the diaphragm upward, creating a strong force to dislodge the obstruction from the airway.

  • 10. 

    For  victims of frostbite and hypothermia, do not try to warm them up too quickly.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When someone is suffering from frostbite or hypothermia, their body temperature is dangerously low. Trying to warm them up too quickly can cause further damage to their tissues. It is important to warm them up slowly and gently, using warm blankets or clothing, and seeking medical help as soon as possible.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    When doing rescue breaths, it is important to secure the mask before you do "head-tilt, chin-lift."

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When doing rescue breaths, it is important to secure the mask before performing the "head-tilt, chin-lift" maneuver because securing the mask ensures a proper seal and prevents air leakage during the rescue breaths. This allows for effective delivery of oxygen to the person in need. Without securing the mask first, the rescue breaths may not be as effective in providing the necessary oxygen. Therefore, it is crucial to secure the mask before performing any other steps in the rescue breath process.

  • 12. 

    A snake bite wound should never be elevated.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Elevating a snake bite wound should be avoided because it can increase the spread of venom in the body. When a snake bites, the venom is injected into the bloodstream, and elevating the wound can facilitate the venom's movement towards the heart and other vital organs. Instead, the affected limb should be kept at or below the level of the heart to slow down the venom's circulation. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial in treating snake bites.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Chest compressions should be at least ___________ deep.

    • A half inch

    • One inch

    • One and a half inches

    • Two inches

    Correct Answer
    A. Two inches
    Explanation
    Chest compressions should be at least two inches deep. This depth is necessary to effectively pump blood through the heart and into the rest of the body during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Compressions that are too shallow may not provide enough force to generate blood flow, while compressions that are too deep may cause damage to the chest or internal organs. Therefore, two inches is the recommended depth for chest compressions to ensure proper circulation and increase the chances of survival in a cardiac arrest situation.

    The best way to treat minor burns is to apply lotion, medicated cream or even butter.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Applying lotion, medicated cream, or butter is not the best way to treat minor burns. This is because these substances can trap heat in the burn and prevent proper healing. The correct way to treat minor burns is to immediately cool the burn with cold running water for at least 10 minutes, cover it with a sterile non-stick dressing, and seek medical attention if necessary.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Immediately give a heat stroke victim something cool to drink.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Giving a heat stroke victim something cool to drink is not recommended as their ability to swallow may be impaired, and there is a risk of choking. It is important to prioritize cooling the person down by moving them to a shaded area, loosening their clothing, and applying cool wet cloths to their body. It is also crucial to seek medical help immediately.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    If someone has a mild blockage of their airway(they can cough, make noise, talk, but they appear to be in major pain), the best thing to do is hit their back to try and clear the obstruction.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Hitting someone on the back when they have a mild blockage of their airway is not the best thing to do. It can actually make the situation worse by causing the obstruction to become more lodged in the airway. The correct action to take in this situation is to encourage the person to cough forcefully and to seek medical help if the obstruction does not clear.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    If a victim of a head, neck or back injury stops breathing, then we must move him on the ground and begin CPR, even if that means making his head, neck or back injury worse.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In cases where a victim of a head, neck, or back injury stops breathing, it is crucial to prioritize their immediate survival by initiating CPR. Although moving the victim may potentially worsen their injury, the risk of not providing essential life-saving measures outweighs the potential harm. CPR can help maintain blood circulation and oxygen supply, increasing the chances of survival until professional medical help arrives. Therefore, it is true that we must move the victim to the ground and begin CPR, even if it means potentially aggravating their head, neck, or back injury.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    CPR rescue breaths should last for _______.

    • 1 second

    • 2 seconds

    • 3 seconds

    • 4 seconds

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 second
    Explanation
    CPR rescue breaths should last for 1 second because it is important to deliver a quick and effective breath into the victim's lungs. The purpose of rescue breaths is to provide oxygen to the person who is not breathing or has difficulty breathing. By delivering a breath that lasts for 1 second, it ensures that the air is efficiently delivered to the lungs and helps to maintain oxygenation until further medical assistance can be provided.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    When giving CPR, you always give compressions and rescue breaths...no matter what.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    When giving CPR, you do not always have to give compressions and rescue breaths. In some situations, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is recommended to perform hands-only CPR, which means giving compressions without rescue breaths. This is because rescue breaths may increase the risk of spreading infectious diseases. Therefore, the statement that you always give compressions and rescue breaths during CPR is false.
