Radial, femoral, cocliteal, posterior tibial
Dorsalis pedis, posterior tibial, popliteal
Radial, carotid, brachial
When assessing a patient's pulse, what three things are you assessing?
Cortex, veal, monkey brains
Popliteal, temporal, rate
Rhythm, rate, volume
Periorbital ecchymosis
VSA, collapse/syncope, suspect cardiac ischemia, CVA and overdose are all examples of calls requiring a Cardiac Monitor
True
False
What other calls would warrant the use of a Cardiac Monitor?
Hypothermia/Heat exhaustion/Heat illness
Abnormal vitals as per the ALS PCS
Electrocution

98-100%
92-96%
88-92%

Carbon monoxide (CO1), can take the place of oxygen in our hemoglobin, giving a false reading on our pulse oximeters?
True
False
A heart rate of 40 would be considered bradycardia?
True
False
When taking a blood pressure through palpation, the number you derive indicates what type of blood pressure?
Diastolic
Palpation
Ecchymosis
Systolic
Brachial
Mint Chocolate Chip
Determine which of the following is true about blood pressure
Systolic is the higher number, represents pressure during heart contraction
It can change over time and due to circumstances ( exercising or anxiety)
Diastloic is the lower number, represents the pressure during heart rest
All of these statements are true
Pupils are measure in millimeters?
True
False
PEARL stands for what?
Plushies evaluate atmosphere rays tactically
Pupils Equal and Reactive to Light
Pupils Equate A Reasonable LOC
None of these
The Glascow Coma Scale measures three types of responses: Eye opening, verbal and motor
True
False
In the GCS, eye opening response has four ranks, what are they in order from four to one?
4 - No response, 3 - To pain, 2 - Spontaneously, 1 - To speech
4 - Spontaneously, 3 - To pain, 2 - To speech, 1 - No response
4 - Spontaneously, 3 - To speech, 2 - To pain, 1 - No response
None of these is correct
In the GCS, verbal response has five ranks, what are they?
5-oriented
1-no response
4-confused
3-inappropriate
2 - incomprehensible
What's a GCS?
None of these
When scoring motor response on the GCS, there are six ranks?
True
False
When scoring motor response on the GCS, which of the following are assessed?
6-obeys commands,3-abnormal flexion
5-moves to localized pain,2-abnormal extension
4-flexion withdrawl from pain,1-no response
All of these
13 is the highest a person can score on the GCS?
True
False
3 is the lowest a person can score on the GCS?
True
False
