Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Your friend has been doing his impression of the "Karate Kid" painting his fence and now complains his wrist is sore. Which symptom is he most likely to be diagnosed with?

Answer: Tendonitis

By doing the same motion constantly he has developed a repetitive strain or tendonitis. You can make a working splint to help him out to restrict movement and not let him return to that type of work for a while. The sheaths around the tendon have become inflamed and the best thing for him now is rest.

2. What does the acronym R.T.C. stand for?

Answer: Rapid Transport Category

Rapid Transport Category or R.T.C. is a list of criteria that the attendant follows. This is for prioritizing which patients should have immediate hospital care based on patient condition or mechanism of injury.

3. You watch a co-worker go unconscious and fall to the floor from choking on a piece of food. What is the proper treatment for dislodging the object?

Answer: Chest compressions

Chest compressions are used on an unconscious patient. Abdominal thrusts are used if they are conscious and able to stand. The Xiphoid is part of the sternum. Raising the arm over their head is of no value.

4. Your friend cuts his arm with a sharp knife. Direct pressure doesn't stop the bleeding. What else is required?

Answer: Indirect pressure (pressure point)

Pressure points are applied in company with direct pressure for severe bleeding if direct pressure is not enough. It should be held for five minutes before slowly releasing. A tourniquet is your last resort and usually in conjunction with amputations. Needle and thread are best left to the doctors.

5. You have a suspected neck injury. What is the common name of the item you need to apply to the patient?

Answer: Hard collar

Hard collar or cervical collars are used to protect the neck and head from further movement. They can come colour coded to fit different size necks or in a one size fits all adjustable. Hard collars are important in restricting head movement in case you suspect cervical or spinal injury.

6. You are splinting a broken leg and are going to apply traction. The break is in the middle of the femur. What rule did you remember to know that traction was acceptable on this injury.

Answer: Rule of thirds

Rule of thirds applies to long bone fractures. The bone is divided into three parts. The upper and lower third are also considered part of the joint above or below. The middle third is the bone itself. Traction is applied to keep the broken bone ends from grating on each other. It also eases the pain too.

Answer: Early recognition and prompt medical aid

Shock is very serious condition as the body is on its way to shutting down. The best thing you can do in this situation is recognize the signs and transport to hospital.

8. You have a patient secured in the spine board and are transporting to hospital when they vomit. What do you need to do to help keep their airway clear?

Answer: Turn the spine board laterally

Once you have them secure in the board they stay that way. If you have it done right it is easier to turn the board with the patient in it. Never release the head strap as they may have a neck injury and could aggravate it further.

Answer: No

Injection injuries are serious as the can lead to damage to underlying tissue. They could also put dirt or other debris deeper in the wound. All injection injuries should be taken to medical aid.

10. You are treating an open chest wound. You do not seal it completely as it may cause this to occur.

Answer: Tension pneumothorax

You seal the wound with an esmarch (rubber bandage) on three sides covering the wound. The esmarch should work like a flapper valve keeping air from getting between the lung and chest wall on inhalation while letting air out on exhalation. If it is completely sealed it can build pressure causing tension and creating a tension pneumothroax.
