NREMT Exam question 1 #emt #paramedic #paramedicstudent #ems #nremt

I would say D - because it is fast and easy to rule out a BGL and once you are in route you still wanna call for a stoke alert because this patient tests positive to the Cincinnati stroke scale.

A stroke test to rule that out, then I’d take blood glucose. During my clinicals we had a call for a possible stroke, and that is how we did it. He tested negative for stroke, and his BG was over 500, and wife said he had diabetes.

Befast stroke scale, BG, call hospital if positive for stroke.

Transport, while in route check bgl. If negative alert hospital for cva, tia

D the NREMT is going down your patient assessment list; if you look closely we already got general impression and level of consciousness next it's vitals

[lonelyknowmore]

D - rule out some things before notifying the hospital with incomplete assessment

[ultrazchevycamaro]

Before anything check the BGL..and go from there. (D)

[StinkTofu]

D. Check her blood sugar. Her confusion may be because of low sugar levels.

[macthejackalranger]

D, but if something is off Im going with A after a stoke assessment

[chaosfeder]

BE FAST test (stroke), then take blood sugar.

[cammyfayes]

A… wouldn’t hurt to check glucose en route, but one sided weakness is definitely CVA/TIA.
