A 77-year-old male who is blind and has a guide dog called 911 for chest pain. On scene you note no immediate life threats and now must move him to the stretcher, located in another room. Which one of the following is most appropriate, given his impairment of sight?
 
  A) Guide and direct him by taking his arm.
  B) Allow the guide dog to guide him to the stretcher.
  C) Carry him to the stretcher.
  D) Assist him to the stretcher with one EMT at either side of him.

Question 2

Your patient is a 15-year-old asthmatic who has been having difficulty breathing for 45 minutes but does not have his Xopenex inhaler with him. Capnography shows an ETCO2 of 45 mmHg. The best way to interpret this finding is:
 
  A) this is a normal ETCO2, indicating that this is a mild asthma attack.
  B) the patient's ETCO2 first dropped as he began to hyperventilate but now is rising again and may continue to rise to dangerous levels.
  C) this is a high ETCO2, and the patient requires immediate ventilatory assistance to prevent respiratory arrest.
  D) this is a low ETCO2 indicating that the patient is hyperventilating and thus in the early stages of an asthma attack.
