After assiting your asthmatic patient with administration of his beta 2 specific meds. You may expect to observe which of the following side effects?
Tachycardia
Fainting or dizziness
Respiratory depression
Hypertension
What is the best method for determing the adequacy of artificial ventilations?
Chest rise with each ventilation
Increase in the patients pulse rate
Diminished cyanosis around the mouth
Return of a gag reflex
A thin 54 year old male with a non prodctive cough complains of difficulty breathing. He is sitting upright with his hands on his knees, and you see retractions. You notice oxygen tubing throughout the house. You should suspect a medical history of
Chronic brochitis
Pneumonia
Emphysema
Asthma
During initial assessment of an adultâs respiratory status, you should
Evaluate both the respiratory rate and the rise and chest fall of the chest
Obtain a full set of vitals
Examine for cyanosis in the nail beds and around the lips
Feel the carotid pulse to determine both the respiratory rate and quality
During an interfacility transport of a symptomatic COPD patient with mild shortness of breath. How much oxygen should you administer
Non-rebreather mask at 15 lpm
Bag-valve mask at 15lpm
Nasal cannula at 6 lpm
Nasal canula at 2 lmp
The reason for assessing the radial and the carotid pulses simultaneously is to
Confirm adequate blood pressure
Assess central circulation
Confirm cardiac rhythm problem
Asses peripheral circulation
A patient is unresponsive with snoring respirations following a motorcycle accident. You notice blood coming from the patients nose and ears. You should
Open the airway with the head-tilt-chin lift
Open the airway with a jaw thrust
Insert a nasal airway
Ventilate with a bag valve mask
A 13 yr old female watching a horror movie states she canât catch her breath and her fingers are numb. Respirations are 30 and deep, with an SpO2 of 100% . she is speaking in complete sentences, has clear and equal breath sounds. You should
Have the patient breathe into a paper bag and transport immediately
Calmly reassure her, encouraging her to slow her rate of breathing
Administer the metered dose inhaler carried by her aunt
Place a disconnected non-rebreather mask on the patients face
Which of the following conditions is most likely to cause decrease compliance with ventilation via bag-valve-mask
Flail chest
Pulmonary contusion
Tension pneumothorax
Spontaneous pneumothorax
