    Tenderness anywhere along the vertebrae may indicate a possible

    • Head injury

    • Spine injury

    • Abdominal injury

    • Kidney injury

    Correct Answer
    A. Spine injury
    Explanation
    Tenderness anywhere along the vertebrae may indicate a possible spine injury because the vertebrae are the bones that make up the spine. If there is tenderness or pain in this area, it suggests that there may be damage or injury to the spine. This could be caused by trauma or impact to the back, which could result in fractures, dislocations, or other spinal injuries. It is important to seek medical attention if there is tenderness along the vertebrae to assess and treat any potential spine injury.

    The brain is protected by the

    • Mandible

    • Cranium

    • Cerebrum

    • Calcaneous

    Correct Answer
    A. Cranium
    Explanation
    The brain is protected by the cranium, which is the skull. The cranium is a hard, bony structure that surrounds and encloses the brain, providing it with protection from external forces and potential injuries. It acts as a protective barrier, shielding the delicate brain tissue from damage. The cranium also helps maintain the shape and structure of the head, providing support for the brain and other structures within the skull.

    You are caring for a 36-year-old, conscious, male patient involved in an altercation in a bar. His face was beaten with a pipe and he has an open soft tissue injury to the left side of his face. It would be save to assume from this injury that the patient also has a

    • Pelvic injury

    • Lower extremity injury

    • Neck injury

    • Lumbar injury

    Correct Answer
    A. Neck injury
    Explanation
    Based on the given information, it can be assumed that the patient has a neck injury. The patient's face was beaten with a pipe, resulting in an open soft tissue injury to the left side of his face. Since the face and neck are in close proximity, it is possible that the force from the altercation could have caused injury to the neck as well. However, without further information or examination, it cannot be determined if there are any other injuries such as pelvic, lower extremity, or lumbar injuries.

    Which areas of the spine are most susceptible to injury?

    • Cervical and sacral

    • Thoracic and coccyx

    • Cervical and lumbar

    • Cervical and coccyx

    Correct Answer
    A. Cervical and lumbar
    Explanation
    The cervical and lumbar areas of the spine are most susceptible to injury because they are the most flexible and bear the most weight. The cervical spine, located in the neck, is particularly vulnerable to injury due to its range of motion and the fact that it supports the weight of the head. The lumbar spine, located in the lower back, is also prone to injury due to its role in supporting the upper body and facilitating movement.

    When log-rolling a patient onto a long spine board, the EMT-B in charge of the move is the person at the

    • Head

    • Chest

    • Feet

    • Pelvis

    Correct Answer
    A. Head
    Explanation
    When log-rolling a patient onto a long spine board, the EMT-B in charge of the move is the person at the head. This is because the head is the most delicate and vulnerable part of the body, and it requires careful handling and support during the transfer. The EMT-B at the head ensures that the patient's neck and spine are properly stabilized and protected throughout the process.

    Bone fragments, blood clots, vomit or broken teeth are all potential

    • Causes for shock

    • Contraindications for a non rebreather mask

    • Indications for full immobilization

    • Airway obstructions

    Correct Answer
    A. Airway obstructions
    Explanation
    The given answer states that airway obstructions are potential causes for shock. This means that if there is an obstruction in the airway, it can prevent proper breathing and oxygenation of the body, leading to a state of shock. Airway obstructions can occur due to various factors such as bone fragments, blood clots, vomit, or broken teeth. It is important to address and clear any airway obstructions promptly to prevent further complications and provide adequate oxygenation to the patient.

    A short spine board is appropriate to use in immobilizing a patient who is

    • Seated in a vehicle

    • Lying on a soft surface

    • Lying on a hard surface

    • Standing

    Correct Answer
    A. Seated in a vehicle
    Explanation
    A short spine board is appropriate to use in immobilizing a patient who is seated in a vehicle because it provides support and stability to the patient's spine while they are in a seated position. This helps prevent any further movement or injury to the spine during transportation.

    You should open the airway of a trauma patient by using the

    • Jaw-thrust method

    • Jaw-thrust, head-tilt method

    • Head-tilt, chin-lift method

    • Head-tilt, neck-lift method

    Correct Answer
    A. Jaw-thrust method
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the jaw-thrust method. This method is used to open the airway of a trauma patient without causing further injury to the neck or spine. By placing the fingers behind the angle of the jaw and gently lifting it forward, the airway is opened by moving the tongue away from the back of the throat. This allows for better airflow and can help prevent obstruction in the airway. The head-tilt and chin-lift method may be used in non-trauma patients, but in trauma cases, the jaw-thrust method is preferred. The head-tilt, neck-lift method is not a recognized technique for opening the airway.

    Applying an improperly sized rigid cervical collar might result in

    • A too-large collar will hyperextend the neck

    • A too-small collar will hyperextend the neck

    • A too-small collar will hyperflex the neck

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A too-large collar will hyperextend the neck
    Explanation
    Applying a too-large collar will result in hyperextension of the neck. This means that the collar will push the head and neck into a position that exceeds the normal range of motion, causing the neck to bend backward. This can lead to strain on the neck muscles and ligaments, as well as potential damage to the cervical spine. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the collar is properly sized to provide appropriate support without causing hyperextension.

    When using a short spine board to immobilize a patient, the patient's head should be secured

    • Last, after the body

    • First, before the body

    • After the patient is removed from the vehicle

    • As soon as the patient is placed on a long spine board

    Correct Answer
    A. Last, after the body
    Explanation
    When using a short spine board to immobilize a patient, it is important to secure the patient's head last, after the body has been secured. This is because securing the body first ensures that the patient's spine is properly aligned and immobilized. By securing the body first, any movement or manipulation of the head during the process of securing the body can be avoided, reducing the risk of further injury to the patient's spine. Once the body is properly secured, the head can then be immobilized to provide complete stabilization and support to the patient's spine.

    Your patient is a 52-year-old unconscious female patient who was the driver in a vehicle struck by a milk delivery truck. She has an open head wound, and bruising to the chest and abdomen. Respiration's are 28 per minute, pulse is 140 per minute. Her skin is cool and clammy. Your choice for extricating this patient is

    • Full immobilization with a short spine board

    • Full immobilization with a KED

    • Rapid extrication

    • Long board only

    Correct Answer
    A. Rapid extrication
    Explanation
    The patient's condition indicates that she is in a critical state with an open head wound, bruising to the chest and abdomen, rapid respiration, high pulse rate, and cool and clammy skin. In this situation, rapid extrication is the most appropriate choice. Rapid extrication involves quickly removing the patient from the scene of the accident without full immobilization, as the patient's condition requires immediate medical attention. Using a short spine board or KED for full immobilization may delay the patient's access to necessary medical interventions. A long board only may also not be suitable as it does not provide adequate support and immobilization for the patient's injuries.
