NREMT Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: A

With both mouth-to-mouth and mouth-to-mask ventilation, it is relatively easy to maintain a good seal with the patient s mouth, allowing for delivery of adequate tidal volumes. Likewise, two person bag-valve-mask techniques dedicate one rescuer solely to ensuring adequate mask seal and the second rescuer to squeeze the ventilation bag with two hands (again allowing for adequate tidal volumes to be delivered). One person bag-valve-mask usage is a difficult technique to master, as the single rescuer must maintain a manual airway maneuver, an adequate mask seal, and squeeze the bag simultaneously.

It is estimated that about 80 percent of all cases of peptic ulcer disease are caused by the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) bacteria. The bacteria damage the protective mucosal lining of the stomach and/or duodenum, allowing it to be damaged by the strong gastric acids used for digestion. Consequently, ulcerations in the mucosal lining and tissue occur. Antibiotic therapy can control the population of H pylori and definitively treat the ulcerative disease. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, including aspirin, increase acid production and can worsen or exacerbate peptic ulcer disease. While calcium channel blockers can be used in the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (decrease spasm of the lower esophageal sphincter), they are not indicated in the management of peptic ulcer disease.

Correct Answer: C

Sensitization is the process where an antigen enters the body and there is an immune response where antibodies are produced to protect the organism from an invader. The antibodies help protect the patient from developing an over reaction towards the antigen which will then become an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylactic reaction is such a massive response against a first time exposure to an antigen this reaction looks like a full on anaphylaxis, the differential is no prior sensitization.
