JBL Module 2 Practice Exam Latest Update 115 Questions and Verified Correct Answers Guaranteed A+ At First Attempt A 19-year-old female is found unconscious by her roommate. Your primary assessment reveals that her breathing is inadequate. As you insert an oropharyngeal airway, she

begins to gag violently. You should:

• remove the airway and be prepared to suction her oropharynx.
• select a smaller oropharyngeal airway and attempt to insert it.
• continue to insert the airway as you suction her oropharynx.
• insert the airway no further but leave it in place as a bite block. - CORRECT

ANSWER:A. remove the airway and be prepared to suction her oropharynx.

A 23-year-old male experienced severe head trauma after his motorcycle collided with an oncoming truck. He is unconscious, has rapid and shallow breathing, and has copious bloody secretions in his mouth. How should you manage his airway?

• Suction his oropharynx with a rigid catheter until all secretions are removed.
• Insert a nasopharyngeal airway and provide suction and assisted ventilations.
• Provide continuous ventilations with a bag-valve mask to minimize hypoxia.
• Alternate 15 seconds of oral suctioning with 2 minutes of assisted ventilation. -

CORRECT ANSWER: D. Alternate 15 seconds of oral suctioning with 2 minutes of

assisted ventilation.

A 39-year-old male sustained a stab wound to the groin during an altercation at a bar.As you approach the patient, you note that he is conscious. He is screaming in pain and is attempting to control the bleeding, which is bright red and spurting from his groin

area. You should:

• ensure that his airway is patent.
• apply direct pressure to the wound.
• elevate his legs and keep him warm.

D. administer 100% supplemental oxygen. - CORRECT ANSWER: B. apply direct

pressure to the wound.

A 51-year-old female presents with a sudden onset of difficulty breathing. She is conscious and alert and able to speak in complete sentences. Her respirations are 22

breaths/min and regular. You should:

• administer oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask.
• insert a nasal airway in case her mental status decreases.
• perform a secondary assessment and then begin treatment.
• assist her ventilations with a bag-valve mask. - CORRECT ANSWER: A. administer

oxygen via a nonrebreathing mask. 1 / 3

A 60-year-old man is found to be unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic. You should:

• begin CPR until an AED is available.
• determine if he has a valid living will.
• withhold CPR until he is defibrillated.

D. start CPR and transport immediately. - CORRECT ANSWER: A. begin CPR until an

AED is available.

A by-product of involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation is:

• nitrogen.
• lactic acid.
• heat.

D. oxygen. - CORRECT ANSWER: C. heat.

A man was found unresponsive in his bed at home. There is no evidence of injury and the patient's medical history is not known. The patient's face is cyanotic, yet the pulse oximeter reads 98%. Which of the following would MOST likely explain this?

• Increased body temperature
• His extremities are cold
• Carbon monoxide poisoning

D. Severe pulmonary edema - CORRECT ANSWER: C. Carbon monoxide poisoning

A nasopharyngeal airway is inserted:

Select one:

• with the bevel pointing downward if inserted into the left nare.
• into the smaller nostril with the tip following the roof of the nose.
• with the bevel facing the septum if inserted into the right nare.
• into the larger nostril with the tip pointing away from the septum. - CORRECT

ANSWER:C. with the bevel facing the septum if inserted into the right nare

A palpable pulse is created by:

• electrical conduction in the heart producing ventricular contraction.
• the pressure that is caused when venous blood returns to the heart.
• the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of the arteries.
• pressure waves through the arteries caused by cardiac contraction. - CORRECT

ANSWER:D. pressure waves through the arteries caused by cardiac contraction.

A patient has a blood pressure of 130/70 mm Hg. The "130" in this measurement

represents:

• atrial contraction.
• ventricular filling. 2 / 3

• ventricular relaxation.

D. ventricular contraction. - CORRECT ANSWER: D. ventricular contraction.

A patient who is suspected of being hypoxic and is breathing adequately should be

given supplemental oxygen with a:

• bag-valve mask.
• nasal cannula.
• nonrebreathing mask.

D. mouth-to-mask device. - CORRECT ANSWER: C. nonrebreathing mask.

A ventilation/perfusion (V/Q ratio) mismatch occurs when:

• a disruption in blood flow inhibits the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the

lungs, even though the alveoli are filled with fresh oxygen.

• ventilation is compromised, resulting in the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the

bloodstream, alveoli, and the tissues and cells of the body.

• ventilation is inadequate due to a traumatic injury or medical condition, which results

in an impairment in pulmonary gas exchange.

• a traumatic injury or medical condition impairs the body's ability to effectively bring

oxygen into the lungs and remove carbon dioxide from the body. - CORRECT

ANSWER:A. a disruption in blood flow inhibits the exchange of oxygen and carbon

dioxide in the lungs, even though the alveoli are filled with fresh oxygen.

An elderly patient has fallen and hit her head. Your initial care should focus on:

• obtaining baseline vital signs.
• airway, breathing, and circulation.
• providing immediate transport.

D. gathering medical history data. - CORRECT ANSWER: B. airway, breathing, and

circulation

• Eyes remain closed, makes incomprehensible sounds, exhibits abnormal extension
• Opens eyes spontaneously, is confused when spoken to, exhibits abnormal flexion
• Opens eyes in response to pain, uses inappropriate words, withdraws from pain
