Alright, so it's been like 2 months since I've taken the test last and I finally feel more than ready to take this... well almost. I've gone through all my text books multiple times and test books but I still have some questions.
I took a practice test on learningexpress.com and have just a couple questions on ones I got wrong. For instance:
Question 1: After delivering a 3rd shock on the AED you check the pulse?
I thought after any shock you immediately do 2 minutes of CPR then check for a pulse since a pulse usually does not appear after any shock.
Question 2: If you do direct pressure on a laceration and the bleeding is not stopped you remove the gauze to make sure you have put pressure on the right area??
I thought that you never ever remove a gauze unless on an occlusive dressing preventing the cause of a pneumothorax. And simply just apply another guaze and apply pressure point and elevate.
Question 3: If a pt. has many fractures and is apparant they are going into shock and is breathing inadequately you immobilize and transport immediately??
I thought that you would want to assess the ABC's then immobilize and transport.
Also, some other questions I haven't found completely accurate answers on.
First, in my textbook and in class it said that in order to be a significant MOI falls in adults are falls greater than 20 feet or 2 times the pts. height. Then in some test books the answers were 15 feet or 3 times the pts. height. So which one is it?
Second, what exactly is the ventilation rate for newborns? All I've found is the rates for infants, children, and adults.
Third, what are the rates to deliver breaths by ventilation? Do I basically just focus on well an apneic pt w/ pulse gets 10-12 breaths therefore 60/12=5 so 1 breath every 5 seconds... A child gets 12-20 breaths therefore 60/20=3 so 1 breath every 3 seconds... Okay I think I just answered my own question.. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks
