Clues in NREMT Questions (Patient Matching Exercise)

[@TheTurkishParamedic]

That video made me understand my real problem of answering questions. Thank you! I just started to follow the channel and am hoping there are more of these. It's super helpful especially for me who's a non-native speaker person.

[@paulinemcleggan7585]

Wow this video was truly brilliant,! It really made me think. Well done you, please keep em coming

[@maryhollendoner]

Super helpful and thoughtful exercise, thank you for posting!

[@joekalilikani]

Thanks Dan! This was a good exercise!

[@RMSVA]

This was a great exercise! Could you make a few follow-up videos or provide directions to a larger question bank of these?

[@Limmereducation]

Hi Drew- Thanks, glad you liked it! We have playlist with a collection of how to read an NREMT questions here kzbin.info/aero/PLyz76Jo6ShSnFAkC-udw6KRq4pXqGFhTv We also have a 2 hour video available at www.lc-ready.com/store/details/81-2hour_nremt_review

at 4:48 you say that "distended neck veins shows us it is tamponade" but it's actually tension pneumothorax, correct?

[@Mickey57Rrrrr]

both tension pneumo and cardiac tamponade will present with JVD, however the outlier is “diminished breath sounds on his left side” also a part of cardiac tamponade is Becks triad which would be (low bp (hypotension), narrowing pulse pressure, and muffled heart sounds. So in option 2 you have two indications of a cardiac tamponade.

This confused me too

I am paramedic in Saudi Arabia how can i give NREMT from here please?

[@cccianna]

I was doing great up until the last one with the 19 year olds and switched the hypo and sepsis. Really had to debate them in my head for a little bit and decided that from a clinical I had and a show based on EMS that “confusion” was better for hypoglycemia than sepsis was since both patients weren’t aware of what was going on and just seemed out of it 🙃 But I knew I should’ve gone with my first instinct that “chills” was gonna be for sepsis since it’s an infection with a fever but oh well

Taking my test today. Great video.

[@Limmereducation]

Good luck!

Did you pass?

[@michaelanthony2166]

@@g.r4579 Yes. I’m licensed now! Funny you asked. Had my first day of orientation today.

@@michaelanthony2166 Congratulations Michael! On both passing the exam and your first day of orientation. I wish you the best of luck in your future career as a Emt or future Paramedic whatever your goals may be. I have yet to pass the exam… I failed the first two times and I don’t want to fail again.. any tips you’d like to share? I’d appreciate it. 👍👍

[@michaelanthony2166]

@@g.r4579 Thank you. I was in the same boat as you. Taking enough time between test isn’t a bad thing. Rushed my first test. Too slow my second. Just right for my 3rd!

Great video, thank you for sharing!!

[@adan8er]

At 4:49you said “distended neck veins. Which shows that is tamponade.” Yet you chose option B for that answer ?? So is the answer for the last one B or C?

[@danlimmer6326]

Distended neck veins in trauma indicate obstructive shock. This could be either tamponade or tension pneumothorax. The last one would be "B" tension pneumothorax because of the diminished breath sounds and hypotension. The second item (hypotension/stab wound/normal breath sounds) would be the cardiac tamponade. It is the only choice with normal lung sounds.

[@adan8er]

Thank you for the clarification!

[@s1rm0rr1lswdsx3]

This was really good thank you!

[@rockmegently]

I'm confused on how to tell the difference between pneumonia and bronchitis because they seem to have similar signs and symptoms.

[@nataliefoss5629]

Bronchitis affects the bronchial tubes that carry air to your lungs. Pneumonia affects the air sacs, called alveoli, where oxygen passes into your blood Fever. Especially higher is most likely pneumonia. And green, yellow ( infection) sputum. Rhonchi is usually a key word for pneumonia or junk in the lungs

[@hollopurple]

Fever

[@rickilane510]

Fever and fluid in the lungs are the big things that point to pneumonia.

[@boutote]

It’s a fun yet challenging puzzle to solve. It’s all about the clues 🕵️‍♂️

[@jillianj720]

Lol 😅 how'd you do?

[@michaeld6262]

I have been an RN/PHN for 35 years and I found this exercise stimulating. The method of finding the right answer is called deductive reasoning. Not being able to reason deductively leads one to only guess or rely on your technology or another persons knowledge base. In an emergency, which would you prefer? Without looking it up, can anyone tell me what the signs and/or symptoms of an arterial occlusion are? be specific. I will give you a virtual thumbs up if you are right. You have 2 minutes to answer- no cheating allowed, someone else's life may depend on it ... :)

[@dt2643]

I looked up arterial occlusion but stopped reading after it said "blood flow in leg stops suddenly." I figure lack of PMS in the leg would be the most obvious sign especially if it just occurred. If the blood isn't returning to heart then we might see unilateral pedal edema. Slow cap refill, but again unilateral. Hope I'm in the right direction, I'm new at this stuff.
