EMT Exam Dumps - Emergency Medical Technicians Exam

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

These symptoms are classic for endometriosis, where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. Symptoms often include:

Pelvic pain

Painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea)

Painful bowel movements or intercourse

Spontaneous abortion does not apply here due to lack of pregnancy. Premature menopause is rare at this age and presents differently. Infection is less likely in the absence of recent sexual activity or fever.

The legal concept of tort negligence in EMS requires the plaintiff to establish four elements:

Duty to act

Breach of that duty

Damages (harm caused)

Causation — a direct link between the EMT’s action/inaction and the harm caused

Causation (often termed “proximate cause”) is the essential element that connects the EMT’s breach to the patient's injury or outcome. Abandonment, assault, and false imprisonment are other intentional torts, but not core elements of proving negligence.

Secondary prevention focuses on early detection and intervention to reduce the severity or impact of an illness or injury that has already occurred or is inevitable. Examples in EMS include:

AED deployment in public

Stroke recognition training

Early CPR

Primary prevention aims to stop the injury from occurring at all (e.g., vaccination, seatbelts). "Reactive" and "proactive" are not recognized formal categories in EMS public health strategy.

NREMT distinguishes mild versus severe airway obstruction primarily by the patient’s ability to move air. In a mild obstruction, the patient can cough forcefully, speak, and exchange air. A severe obstruction occurs when airflow is critically impaired.

Option A (Ineffective cough) is the key indicator that a mild obstruction has progressed to a severe one. An ineffective or silent cough means the patient can no longer generate enough airflow to clear the obstruction, placing them at imminent risk of hypoxia and cardiac arrest.

Option B is a late sign of hypoxia but does not define severity of obstruction.

Option C is not specific to airway obstruction severity.

Option D indicates a mild obstruction, not severe.

NREMT teaches that once a cough becomes ineffective, immediate airway intervention is required.

Personal injury prevention supplies are designed to protect EMS providers from physical injuries, rather than infection.

Option C (Pair of leather gloves) is correct because leather gloves protect against cuts, abrasions, and puncture injuries during rescue operations such as vehicle extrication.

Option D (N95 respirator) is personal protective equipment (PPE) for infection control, not injury prevention.

Option A and B are related to biohazard handling and decontamination.

NREMT differentiates PPE from injury-prevention equipment to ensure proper risk management.
