A 24-year-old pregnant woman is actively seizing. Her partner reports that she complained of abdominal pain approximately 10 minutes ago, and then began seizing. He reports that the seizure activity has been consistent for the past 10 minutes, and that she has no significant medical history. You should:
 
  A) apply a nasal cannula, assess blood glucose level, and transport in the left lateral position.
  B) insert a nasal airway, administer midazolam, and obtain vital signs.
  C) apply high-flow oxygen, administer magnesium sulfate, and transport emergently.
  D) suction the airway, obtain IV access, and assess blood pressure.

Question 2

You are off duty and have come across a motor vehicle collision. A car has crashed head-on into a utility pole. There is moderate damage to the vehicle and the driver is walking about the scene. You stop and assess the patient. He has a large bruise on his arm and is complaining of abdominal pain where the seat belt contacted his body. Emergency Medical Responders (EMRs) are on scene and a responding ambulance has a 2-minute ETA. At this point, you realize that:
 
  A) you cannot leave until another EMT or paramedic arrives to assume care.
  B) you can leave the scene since the patient is stable and EMS is 2 minutes away.
  C) you can only transfer care to a paramedic once he or she arrives on scene.
  D) you can transfer care to EMRs since EMS is notified and 2 minutes from the scene.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
