100

This jelly-like (gelatinous) discharge helps confirm the cervix is preparing for labor.

Mucous plug

100

These three (3) components of the Pediatric Assessment Triangle can be assessed without physical contact.

Appearance, Work of Breathing, Circulation

100

Condition in elderly patients that cause them to feel faint when standing up.

Orthostatic hypotension 

100

This precaution should be taken with immobile patients to avoid pressure injuries.

Padding

Careful limb positioning

100

If the baby's face is still covered as the head delivers, this action must be taken immediately.

Tearing and removing the amniotic sac from the face

200

A significant change in the maternal respiratory system during pregnancy to accommodate increased oxygen demand.

Increased tidal volume up to 50%

200

Infants are more vulnerable to environmental exposure because of these two (2) anatomical traits.

Larger head, thinner skin

200

Shortness of breath, cough, and pedal edema in the elderly often point to this emergency/diagnosis.

Heart failure 

200

Supine positioning in bariatric/obese patients can lead to this airway problem.

Airway compromise (due to excessive neck/chest adipose tissue)

200

Suctioning the mouth before the nose is necessary to avoid this due to the gasping reflex.

Aspiration

300

A complication that typically occurs in the first trimester, involving loss of the fetus.

Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)

300

A pediatric patient with diarrhea and/or vomiting that has not urinated in several hours may be suffering from this.

Dehydration

300

These symptoms in elderly women may indicate an MI rather than a GI problem in the absence of a fever. List three (3).

Weakness, SOB, nausea

300

This speech problem often results from poor control of the mouth and tongue after a stroke.

Dysarthria

300

If the baby's body delivers breech but the head does not follow, the EMT should do this.

Insert a gloved finger (to relieve vaginal wall pressure on the face)

400

Carrying more than one fetus moves a pregnancy into this category.

High-risk pregnancy 

400

Children aged 9-12 months often exhibit this emotional response (especially during transport by EMS providers).

Separation anxiety 

400

Unpaid bills, leaving a vehicle running, and/or a pattern of spoiled food might signal the onset of this issue?

Cognitive decline (dementia)

400

Neurological muscle wasting can cause shallow breathing that requires this intervention.

Assisted ventilation with a BVM

400

A neonate/newborn with a heart rate below 100 bpm requires this immediate treatment.

Bag valve mask (BVM) ventilations

500

This condition can cause a third-trimester patient lying flat on her back to suddenly become pale, lightheaded, and hypotensive.

Supine hypotensive syndrome 

500

Vulnerability of this anatomical structure can cause airway collapse (especially when a child is held around the neck).

Soft tracheal cartilage 

500

Sudden strange behavior and mood swings may warrant checking this metabolic vital sign.

Blood glucose level (BGL)

500

A patient with spastic cerebral palsy begins involuntary jerking movements. This is the first thing you should do.

Stop transport to reassess the patient's airway and safety

500
After delivering a baby, the EMT's two (2) highest priorities are ____ and _____ .

Drying and stimulation
