Question 1

A patient with a suspected foreign body upper airway obstruction is coughing forcefully. The correct immediate action is to:

Accepted Answer

Encourage continued coughing and monitor closely

Answer

A patient with a forceful cough still has adequate airflow; allow them to continue coughing as it is the most effective way to clear the obstruction.

Question 2

Which of the following ETCO2 values during CPR is associated with a higher likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)?

Accepted Answer

> 20 mmHg

Answer

An ETCO2 greater than 20 mmHg during CPR indicates better cardiac output and is associated with improved likelihood of ROSC.

Question 3

You arrive on scene and find an adult patient with complete airway obstruction who is unconscious. After activating EMS, your next step is:

Accepted Answer

Begin CPR starting with chest compressions

Answer

For an unconscious patient with suspected FBAO, begin CPR with chest compressions; each time you open the airway, look for the object before attempting ventilation.

Question 4

When inserting an oropharyngeal airway (OPA) in an adult, which insertion technique is correct?

Accepted Answer

Insert upside-down (concave up) and rotate 180° once past the teeth

Answer

In adults, the OPA is inserted with the concavity facing up (toward the palate) and rotated 180° as it passes the tongue to seat correctly.

Question 5

A patient with chronic COPD is in respiratory distress. Which oxygen delivery method provides the most precise FiO2?

Accepted Answer

Venturi mask

Answer

A Venturi mask delivers a precise, controlled FiO2 using a jet-mixing device, which is especially important in COPD patients who may be sensitive to oxygen levels.
