Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

A mass-casualty incident occurs quickly and suddenly and overwhelms local resources with many seriously ill or injured victims needing care. A multiple-casualty event does not exceed the capacity of local resources to provide needed medical care. Natural disasters are caused by acts of nature or emerging diseases. An intentional human-generated disaster is done with specific intent.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5

A manifestation of PCP overdose is agitation. A manifestation of LSD overdose is panic. The patient is not demonstrating evidence of crack or heroin overdose. Alcohol is the most commonly used and abused legal substance in the United States.
