A middle-aged female patient has dialed 911 for an abdominal emergency. On scene, she informs you she has a bad gallbladder and it has been increasingly bothering her, thus she needs transport to the hospital for further care. Your assessment reveals tenderness and mild discomfort to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. She also states that her right shoulder is aching. Given the patient's complaint, the EMT would recognize the shoulder pain as:
 
  A) referred pain.
  B) false pain.
  C) unrelated pain.
  D) muscular pain.

Question 2

A 71-year-old male with a cardiac history and lower abdominal and back pain has called 911 for help. On scene, you detect a large pulsatile mass in his abdomen. With the exception of skin that is diaphoretic, the primary assessment indicates no life threats to the airway, breathing, or circulation. He has a history of hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and is allergic to sulfa-based medications. Vital signs are pulse 92, respirations 20, blood pressure 130/66, and SpO2 95 on room air. What action would make you intervene immediately?
 
  A) Since I am not having chest pain, I am not going to take my nitroglycerin.
  B) I am going to check my blood sugar with my own glucometer.
  C) I am going to leave my home oxygen on 2 liters since it seems to have helped my breathing.
  D) I am going to take my daily aspirin since I did not take it this morning.
