"A basic premise of the National Response Framework is that: A. Readiness to act encourages response partners to self-dispatch to an incident scene. B. Most incidents begin and end locally and are managed at the local or tribal level. C. Response partners use nonstandard structures to allow for flexible and scalable responses. D. Incidents should be managed at the highest jurisdictional level possible."

"During high-quality CPR, when do rescuers typically pause compressions? Select all that apply. When changing compressors When checking for responsiveness When applying the AED pads When checking pulse"

There have been improvements to ABS including: Cruise control override Audio fail warnings The lack of a pulse Emergency assist

When adjusting ventilation rates, which PETCO2 value lies within the recommended range for a patient who achieves return of spontaneous circulation?

Which of the following statements best describes Starling's Law? As venous return increases, stroke volume will increase. Blood flow moves in layers with the highest velocity layer in the center of the vessel. Small changes in vessel radius will cause significant changes in the resistance to flow. An increase in heart rate or stroke volume will cause an increase in cardiac output.

Which action is not part of the acute stroke pathway? A. Seizure prophylaxis B. Performing dysphagia screening C. Monitoring temperature D. Monitoring blood pressure

"While performing high-quality CPR, when do pauses in compressions typically occur? A. Defibrillation B. Checking scene safety C. Compressor switches D. Rhythm analysis E. Pulse checks F. Intubation"

"In a Unified Command, members representing multiple jurisdictions and agencies work together to establish: A. Incident Objectives B. Shared Agency Authority C. Resource Allocations D. Situational Awareness"
