Components of Rapid Assessment
The first step of a rapid assessment
What is 'scene size-up'?
Location where an infant should be tapped when checking for responsiveness
What is the bottom of the foot?
True or False: Isolated and infrequent gasps are a sign of effective breathing
What is False?
These are agonal breaths, and the person should be treated as if they are not breathing at all
Jimmy responds to a person in the bleachers collapsing immediately, failing to put on the proper PPE (gloves) in order to give potentially lifesaving care. True or False: This was the right thing to do.
What is True?
Do not delay lifesaving care to put on gloves.
The condition of an adult exhibiting "pulse but no breath" and the care steps that should follow
What is respiratory arrest and 1 ventilation every 6 seconds?
When checking for responsiveness, you should use this sequence
What is Shout-Tap-Shout?
The infant head position to open the airway
What is neutral position?
Will someone ever have the condition of 'breath no pulse'?
What is no?
Cannot have a breath without a pulse
Sarah, a Site Coordinator, is observing the deck when she notices a parent has slurred speech and difficulty raising their left arm to open the door. As she is forming her initial impressions of the parent/scene, what condition is she noticing?
What is a stroke?
You find that the primary rescuer for an incident called for an AED, but upon arriving to the scene only ventilations are being given, and the person has a pulse. Should the AED still be used?
What is no? Since they have a pulse, the AED should not be used
The three things that you are observing when looking, listening, and feeling
What is looking for chest rise, listening for breaths, and feeling for a pulse?
The type of resuscitation mask that should be used on infants
What is the pediatric mask?
You find a person who is unresponsive, but they are breathing and have a pulse. What action should you take?
What is placing the person in recovery position and summoning EMS?
Billy enters the boys locker-room at the end of his shift and notices there is someone laying on the floor by the showers. As he is sizing up the scene, he notices frayed wires hanging from the ceiling. Is this scene safe for Billy to approach? What should he do?
What is no and he should call 911 and refrain other patrons from entering the area?
Is this statement correct: Giving rescue breaths is part of the rapid assessment
What is no? Once care is provided, the rapid assessment has ended
This act is performed on drowning persons pulled from the water
What are rescue ventilations?/What are 'two-breaths'?
Where to check for a pulse in an infant
What is the brachial pulse? (Inside of upper arm near armpit)
As you are completing a look-listen-feel sequence, the person vomits. What care steps should you take?
What is rolling the person to their side and clearing the airway?
Alex finds a person who has fallen and sustained serious injury laying on their back in the locker room. Alex is the only other person at the pool, so she leaves the injured person on their back and goes to call 911. What did Alex do wrong?
The difference between cardiac distress and cardiac arrest
What is cardiac distress causes feelings of pain, dizziness, and short breaths whereas cardiac arrest is the absence of a heartbeat?
How long a responder should check for breathing and a pulse
What is no more than 10 seconds?
Can adult AED pads and the adult AED setting be used on infants?
As long as the pads are not touching each other (one placed on chest and the other on the back)
Upon arriving to a scene, you notice a weird odor in the air and a foggy haze. What may have happened?
What is a chemical spill/release of a chemical?
When opening up the airway of an infant, Charlie tilts the infants head into a past-neutral position. What potential injury was just caused?
What is compressing the airway/distorting the trachea?
A drowning person was pulled from the pool and is severely bleeding from their leg after being cut by metal protruding from the ladder. What care steps should be taken first?
What is stopping the bleed?
