If the<br>parent or guardian is not available, emergency treatment to sustain life may be<br>undertaken without direct consent under the doctrine of implied consent. You<br>should also be aware of the legal principle known as \u201cIn loco parentis\u201d. This term<br>literally means \u201cIn place of the parent\u201d.

Although adults clearly have the right to refuse treatment for<br>themselves, state laws generally do not permit a parent or guardian to deny<br>treatment to a minor child. In fact, the failure of a parent to allow such treatment<br>may constitute neglect. When confronted with such a circumstance, the paramedic<br>should notify law enforcement and medical control.

All of these answers are correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If direct pressure fails to immediately stop severe bleeding from an extremity, you should<br>apply:<br>A. a splint and elevate the extremity.<br>B. a tourniquet proximal to the injury.<br>C. digital pressure to a proximal artery.<br>D. additional sterile dressings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In older patients, the first indicator of nontraumatic internal bleeding may be:<br>A. a low blood pressure.<br>B. a heart rate over 120 beats\/min.<br>C. diaphoresis and pale skin.<br>D. weakness or dizziness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internal bleeding into a fractured extremity is MOST often controlled by:<br>A. applying chemical ice pack.<br>B. keeping the patient warm.<br>C. applying a tourniquet.<br>D. splinting the extremity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant vital sign changes will occur if the typical adult acutely loses more than<br>of his or her total blood volume.<br>A. 10%<br>B. 5%<br>C. 20%<br>D. 15%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The severity of bleeding should be based on all of the following findings, EXCEPT:<br>A. systolic blood pressure.<br>B. poor general appearance.<br>C. the mechanism of injury.<br>D. clinical signs and symptoms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What mechanism(s) does the body use to control bleeding?<br>A. Clotting<br>B. Coagulation<br>C. Vasoconstriction<br>D. All of these answers are correct.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether you are using a commercial device or a stick and triangular bandage as a tourniquet,<br>it is important to remember that:<br>A. bulky dressings should be securely applied over the tourniquet to further assist in controlling<br>the bleeding.<br>B. you should try to control the bleeding by applying pressure to a proximal arterial pressure<br>point first.<br>C. the tourniquet should be applied directly over a joint if possible because this provides better<br>bleeding control.<br>D. the tourniquet should only be removed at the hospital because bleeding may return if the<br>tourniquet is released.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following findings would be the MOST significant when assessing a patient<br>with possible internal bleeding?<br>A. The patient takes rivaroxaban (Xeralto).<br>B. The patient has a history of hypertension.<br>C. The patient has not eaten in 24 hours.<br>D. The patient had a stroke 5 years prior.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which of the following splinting devices would be MOST appropriate to use for a patient<br>who has an open fracture of the forearm with external bleeding?<br>A.

Energy transmission to the spine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 15-year-old female was struck by a small car while riding her bicycle. She was wearing a<br>helmet and was thrown to the ground, striking her head.
