IF YOUR PATIENT IS BLUE…....TRY SOME _________

Explanation
If a patient is blue, it indicates that they are experiencing cyanosis, which is a bluish discoloration of the skin or mucous membranes due to a lack of oxygen in the blood. The correct answer, O2, refers to oxygen. Providing oxygen to the patient helps to increase the oxygen levels in their blood, thereby alleviating the cyanosis and improving their condition.

Which are ways for opening and maintaining an Airway?
- A.
  
  Head tilt/Chin Lift
- B.
  
  Modified Jaw Thrust
- C.
  
  Oropharyngeal Airway (OPA)
- D.
  
  Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA)
- E.
  
  All the above
Correct Answer
E. All the above

Explanation
All of the options mentioned (head tilt/chin lift, modified jaw thrust, oropharyngeal airway, and nasopharyngeal airway) are ways for opening and maintaining an airway. These techniques are commonly used in first aid and emergency situations to ensure that the airway is clear and unobstructed, allowing the person to breathe properly. Head tilt/chin lift and modified jaw thrust are manual maneuvers that help to open the airway by lifting the chin and tilting the head back. Oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways are medical devices that can be inserted into the mouth or nose to maintain an open airway.

When using the Head Tilt/Chin Lift Procedure, the _________ is the most common cause of airway obstruction.

Correct Answer
Tongue

Explanation
The Head Tilt/Chin Lift Procedure is a technique used to open the airway of an unconscious person. By tilting the head back and lifting the chin, the tongue is moved away from the back of the throat, allowing for better airflow. In this case, the correct answer is "tongue" because it is the most common cause of airway obstruction in this procedure. When a person becomes unconscious, the muscles in their body relax, including the muscles that normally keep the tongue in place. As a result, the tongue can fall back and block the airway, making it difficult for the person to breathe.

Modified Jaw Thrust is used when possibility of ____________ injury exists.

Correct Answer
C-spine

Explanation
The Modified Jaw Thrust technique is used when there is a possibility of C-spine injury. This technique is a method of opening the airway in a patient with a suspected neck or spinal injury without moving the head or neck. It involves placing the fingers behind the angle of the patient's jaw and lifting the jaw forward, which helps to maintain the alignment of the cervical spine while providing a clear airway for the patient.

_______________ are designed to keep the tongue from falling back and blocking the upper airway, and are only used in unresponsive patients without a gag reflex.

Correct Answer
Oral Airways

Explanation
Oral Airways are designed to keep the tongue from falling back and blocking the upper airway. They are only used in unresponsive patients without a gag reflex because these patients are unable to maintain their own airway and need assistance to prevent obstruction. Oral Airways are inserted into the mouth and positioned to hold the tongue forward, allowing for better airflow and oxygenation.

To choose the proper size Oral Airway, hold the airway against the side of the patient’s face. It should extend from the _________ of the patient’s mouth to the angle of the _________.
- A.
  
  Corner
- B.
  
  Jaw
- C.
  
  All the above
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
C. All the above

Explanation
The proper size oral airway should extend from the corner of the patient's mouth to the angle of the jaw. This means that it should cover the entire distance from the corner of the mouth to the jaw angle. Therefore, all the given options, corner and jaw, are correct as they both represent the two ends of the oral airway placement.

________________________ are curved, flexible rubber or plastic tubes inserted into the patient’s nostril and used on responsive patients who need an airway assist.

Correct Answer
Nasopharyngeal Airways

Explanation
Nasopharyngeal Airways are curved, flexible rubber or plastic tubes that are inserted into the patient's nostril. They are used on responsive patients who require assistance with their airway. These tubes help to maintain an open airway and facilitate the flow of oxygen into the patient's lungs. Nasopharyngeal Airways are commonly used in emergency situations, such as during resuscitation or when a patient is experiencing difficulty breathing. They are an effective tool in providing immediate airway support and ensuring adequate oxygenation for the patient.

Nasal cannula flow rate is _________.

Correct Answer
2-6 lpm

Explanation
The correct answer is 2-6 lpm. This refers to the flow rate of oxygen delivered through a nasal cannula. The flow rate is measured in liters per minute (lpm) and indicates the amount of oxygen being administered to the patient. A flow rate of 2-6 lpm is commonly used for patients who require low to moderate levels of supplemental oxygen.

Non-Rebreather mask flow rate is __________.

Correct Answer
10-15 lpm

Explanation
The correct answer is 10-15 lpm. The flow rate for a Non-Rebreather mask is typically set between 10-15 liters per minute (lpm). This high flow rate ensures that an adequate amount of oxygen is delivered to the patient, allowing them to breathe in a higher concentration of oxygen. The mask has one-way valves that prevent exhaled air from being inhaled again, hence the name "non-rebreather". This prevents the patient from rebreathing carbon dioxide and helps maintain a high level of oxygen in their system.

Two rescuer Bag Valve Mask (BVM) flow rate is ____________.

Correct Answer
15 lpm

Explanation
The flow rate for a two rescuer Bag Valve Mask (BVM) is typically set at 15 liters per minute (lpm). This flow rate ensures that an adequate amount of oxygen is delivered to the patient during rescue breathing. It allows for effective ventilation and oxygenation, especially in emergency situations where the patient may be in respiratory distress or experiencing respiratory failure.
