You are assisting your partner who is preparing to intubate a 79 year old woman. You are managing the BVM and begin ventilating and preoxygenating the patient at what rate? - ....ANSWER...12-20 breaths a minute for 1-2 minutes
You arrive on scene with your partner to a call of "man down". You pull into the driveway of the house in a very exclusive part of town. In the driveway a man is lying face up with his eyes closed. After making sure the scene is safe, what actions will help you gather the most information in the shortest period of time? - ....ANSWER...Check his pulse with your hand while you put your ear near his mouth and look down at the sternum for chest rise
You are assessing an 84 year old man. Upon auscultation of the lungs you discover crackles or rale sounds. He is complaining of chest pain and congestion. These signs and symptoms can indicate? - ....ANSWER...Left ventricular failure

A 57 year old woman is complaining of chest pain. Her blood pressure is 109/88 and her respirations are at 22 per minute. What condition does the patient's blood pressure indicate? - ....ANSWER...Low pulse pressure
RATIONALE:The pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic measurements of the blood pressure. 109 systolic - 88 diastolic = 21 mmHg. In trauma a low pulse pressure suggests significant blood loss. If the pulse pressure is extremely
low, i.e. 25 mmHg or less, the cause may be low stroke volume, as in Congestive Heart Failure and/or shock. A low pulse pressure can also be caused by aortic valve stenosis and cardiac tamponade.
The three basic causes of shock are? - ....ANSWER...Poor pump function, fluid loss, and vessel dilation
RATIONALE: The basic causes of shock are poor heart function, loss of blood and fluid, and dilation of vessels.
